SEAT maintenance program
8SEAT maintenance programUsing these instructionsThis programme will indicate the work that should be pe riodically carried out
on your vehicle in order to maintain the safety, reliability and lifetime condi-
tions required.
Using the “vehicle identification” data or the data in this document, the
correct spare parts for your vehicle will be specified in ca se of repairs; even
many years following the initial purchase.
We recommend that you keep this maintenance programme with the vehicle
documents. The Proof of service is one of the fundamental r equirements for
warranty rights.
The maintenance programme shows the date of delive ry and this indicates
the beginning of the vehicle guarantee.Maintenance ProgramThe SEAT maintenance programme is composed of di fferent inspection serv-
ices carried out according to the time since the vehi cle purchase or the
mileage.
Each Inspection Service as well as an y required additional operation already
has a pre-established work time. This will allow you to know the total cost of
the service beforehand.
. The SEAT Service Centre network is equipped with modern technology and
well-trained specialists. Many SEAT Service Centres offer different value
service packages
Adverse weather conditionsThe Service Centre “service consultant” will inform you of any necessary addi-
tional work within the intervals defined by the Inspection Ser vice depending
on the conditions and the environment in which the vehicle is used. For
example, for an oil change where the vehicle is use d only for frequent short
journeys or is subject to extreme temperatures. Likewis e, when the vehicle is
used in dusty conditions the air, dust and pollen filter cartridges must be
changed more often and the timing belt checked.Diesel fuelThe Service Centre “service consultant” can provide inf ormation about which
countries use fuel with a high sulphur content. In th ese cases, the oil must be
changed every 7,500 km / 4,650 miles.
