SEAT maintenance programme
8SEAT maintenance programmeGeneral informationThis maintenance programme will inform y ou of the work to carry out regularly
on your vehicle in order to ensure the safety, reliability and durability
required.
Using the “vehicle identification” data or the data contained in this docu-
ment, the correct spare parts your vehicle could require in case of repairs are
specified, even after many years from the initial purchase.
We recommend that you keep this maintenance programme with the vehicle
documents. The inspection receipts are one of the essential requirements for
exercising your rights under warranty.
The maintenance programme shows the date of delivery, and this indicates
the starting date of the vehicle warranty.Maintenance ProgrammeThe SEAT maintenance programme consists of the different inspection serv-
ices which are carried out according to the time since the vehicle purchase or
its mileage.
Each Inspection Service, as well as any additional operation required 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 workshop tech-
nology and well-trained specialists. Many SEAT Service Centres offer different
service packages at special prices.
Adverse conditionsThe Service Centre “service advisor” will inform you of any necessary addi-
tional work within the intervals defined by the Inspection Service, according
to the conditions and environment in which the vehicle is used. For example,
an oil change where the vehicle is used only for frequent short journeys or is
subject to extreme temperatures. Likewi se, when the vehicle is used in dusty
conditions, dust and pollen filter cartridges must be changed more often and
the timing belt must be checked.Diesel fuelThe Service Centre “service advisor” can provide information about which
countries use fuel with a high sulphur content. In these cases, the oil must be
changed every 5,000 miles.

WarrantyFault-free operation warrantyAccording to the clauses of the warranty applied to SEAT vehicles in the sales
contract, A fault-free operation warranty of 2 years in accordance with legal
requirements
2) 3)
is provided from the date of delivery.
We hope that it is understood that natural wear as well as damage caused by
the abuse of vehicle performance through inappropriate use or by unaccept-
able modifications are excluded from the warranty. The warranty is also
invalid when the vehicle is damaged by the use of parts and accessories that
are not SEAT approved or damage due to ignoring the maintenance and repair
requirements.
Paintwork and body warranty Authorised Service Centres provide a warranty on bodywork
and paintwork for vehicles sold in the EU.In addition to the warranty conditions for brand new SEAT vehicles (as
detailed in the purchase contract), a defined period warranty is also provided
covering paintwork and bodywork rusting:•
3 year paintwork warranty following delivery date (except the Alhambra
model).
•
12 years from the date of delivery against bodywork through-rusting (6
years for the Alhambra).
If, however, this type of damage should occur, it will be repaired free of charge
including parts and labour by any SEAT Authorised Service Centre in Europe.
Warranty claims will not be accepted in the following circumstances:
•
if damage is caused by external influence or carelessness, or
•
if damage to the body is not repaired promptly and appropriately in
accordance with the manufacturer's in structions using genuine, approved
spare parts and materials, or
•
if perforation rusting is caused by the use of non-genuine parts and mate-
rials for body repairs and if these repairs were not carried out in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
If the bodywork is repaired or painted, your Authorised Service Centre will
certify your warranty against through-rusting for the repaired sections.
Approved SEAT exchange parts The approved SEAT exchange parts, conforming to the manufacturer’s
requirements, constitute an additional service at your disposal, offering you
the possibility to replace entire assemblies, the most common being: the
lightened engine, gearboxes, cylinder heads, control units, electrical
elements, etc.
Of course these are Approved parts and, as they have the same class as the
manufacturer parts, they share the same SEAT approved spare parts warranty.

your Authorised SEAT Service Centre.3)As well as the legally required warranty, SEAT offers an extended warranty to their cli-
ents in some European countries. The specific conditions of this extended warranty
