containing solvents. Solvents cause the surface to become porous. If the
airbag triggered, disintegrating plastic parts could cause substantial inju-
ries.

WARNING
Incorrectly performed modifications or other kind of work on your vehicle
can lead to malfunctions and cause accidents.Roof aerial*The vehicle can be fitted with a collapsible roof aerial* with antitheft system*,
which can be folded backwards, when, for example, going through an auto-
matic carwash.
To f o l d

screw in again.
To return to working position
Continue in the reverse order to the previous instruction.
Caution
Before putting the vehicle through the car washing tunnel, do not tighten the
aerial if it is folded because it can be damaged.
Mobile telephones and two-way radiosYou will require an external aerial for mobile phones and two-
way radios. SEAT has approved for your vehicle the use of mobile telephones and two-way
radios under the following conditions:•The correct installation of an external aerial,•transmitting power of maximum 10 watts.
The optimum range of the equipment is only achieved with an external aerial.
First consult your Authorised Service Centre if you wish to use a mobile tele-
phone or a two-way radio with a transmitting power output in excess of
10 watts. Here you will receive information concerning the technical possibil-
ities for retrofitting this equipment.
Mobile telephones and two-way radios should be only fitted by a qualified
workshop, for example an Authorised Service Centre.WARNING
•Always concentrate primarily on driving. If you are distracted while
driving you could have an accident.•Never attach the telephone mountings to the surfaces covering the
airbag units or within the range of the airbags. There is a high risk of injury
if the airbag is triggered.•Using your mobile telephones or two-way radios in the vehicle without
an external aerial, electromagnetic radiation in the vehicle could exceed
authorised limits. This also may occur to external aerials that have not
been correctly installed.
