SEAT maintenance programmeService intervalsGeneral informationTo ensure that you have each service carrie d out on time and that none are
forgotten, there is a reminder sticker on the dr iver side door pillar and a
reminder will also be shown via the serv ice interval display on the instrument
panel.
The service intervals quoted are for vehicles used under normal operating
conditions .
However, if the vehicle is used in adverse conditions, it may require work
before the next established service int erval or even between service inter-
vals.
Adverse conditions include:•the use of fuel with a high sulphur content•frequent short journeys•leaving the engine idling for long periods o f time (as occurs with taxis)•driving on dusty roads or in dusty areas•frequently using the vehicle for towing•mainly driving in the city, in heavy traffic whe re it is necessary to continu-
ously brake and start, and•using the vehicle mainly in the winter
This particularly affects:•the air filter
•the timing belt•the engine oil and•the diesel particulate filter
In some countries diesel fuel has a high sulp hur content; in these cases the
fuel filter and the oil should be changed every 7 ,500 km (5,000 miles)
⇒ page 8. Your Official SEAT Service will b e able to tell you which countries
have diesel with a high sulphur content.
The service advisor at your Official SEAT Ser vice will advise you on the need
to carry out additional work on your vehicle, t aking into account the usage
conditions of the vehicle.
