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.
2)The warranty is not available for all export markets. For more information, please ask
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
are detailed in the vehicle sales contract.
