Service information
4Service typeLongLife service or service dependent on time/distance tr avelled?Depending on your vehicle's technical characteristics either the LongLife
service or the service dependent on time/dista nce travelled will apply. If you
do not wish to have the LongLife service you can choose the service
dependent on time/distance travelled. You r Official SEAT Service has the
most recent information about the servic es and can advise you on the best type of service for your vehicle, and if th
ere are any additional inspections it
requires by law. In the following pages we h ave compiled the most important
information about the services offered. These s ervices are valid at the time of
printing and can be subject to further mod ifications for technical reasons.
Note
If LongLife oil is not used, the service depe ndent on time/distance travelled
is applied, and the oil must be changed e very 15,000 km (10,000 miles) or
every year. How to know which type of service your
vehicle requires
LongLife service: Service dependent on time/distance travelled:
- Your vehicle has LongLife Service if the PR No. “QG1 ” appears on the vehicle
data carrier (see back) and on ⇒page 5, the LongLife Service is marked
with a cross. - Your vehicle has service dependent on t
ime/distance travelled if the PR
number “ QG0 or QG2 ” (see back) appears on the vehicle data carrier and if
on ⇒page 5 the Oil Change Service is marked with a cross.
- The Interval Service appears on the “Next Ser vices” sticker (on the door pil-
lar). - The Oil Change Service appears on the “
Next Services” sticker (on the door
pillar).
- The LongLife Service is marked with a cross on ⇒page 5. - The service dependent on time/dista nce travelled is marked with a cross on
⇒ page 5.
SEAT distinguishes between services with engine oil change (e.g. Interval Service ) and services without engine oil change (e.g. Inspection Service).
The service interval display only indicates the dates of services that include engine oil change. The dates of all other services, such as Inspection Service or
brake fluid change, appear in the sticker on the door pillar.

Service information
6•If LongLife engine oil is not used, th e service dependent on time/distance
travelled then applies. In this case, an oil c hange service will have to be
carried out every 15,000 km (10,000 miles) or every year.Importance of the Maintenance ProgrammeThe Maintenance Programme confirms the date of deliv ery of
your vehicle and thus the beginning of its warranty cover.The vehicle data that appears in the Maintenance Programme guarantees
that the appropriate Genuine SEAT
® Parts are installed. This data helps
ensure that your car can be repaired without difficulty even after many years
of use.
The Maintenance Programme also informs you of which service should be
carried out when, and the work this entails.
Your Official SEAT Service will note down in this booklet the services carried
out.
Your Maintenance Programme should be kept in the vehicle with the on-
board documentation so that it is at han d whenever you need it.
Please remember to give the Maintenanc e Programme to the new owner if
you sell your car.
The SEAT Service Centre network is equ ipped with modern workshop tech-
nology and well-trained specialists. Many S EAT Service Centres offer different
service packages at special prices
Safety notesAll fluids and consumables , such as timing belts, tyres, coolant liquid, en gine
oil, spark plugs and vehicle batteries are cont inuously being developed.
Therefore, we recommend you take the veh icle to a qualified workshop to
have fluids or consumables changed. The Official SE AT Services receive
regular up-to-date information about mo difications. This is why SEAT recom-
mends you have fluids and other consumables replaced by an Official SEAT
Service.
Unless the vehicle is regularly and correctly s erviced as required in the
service plan, the vehicle could breakdown wh ile driving, leading to serious
accident and injury.•S e r v i c e s s h o u l d b e c a r r i e d o u t b y a q u a l i f i e d w o r k s h o p i n a c c o r d a n ce w i t h
the Maintenance Programme.•Please observe the instructions for use.Note
•Only use suitable fluids. Fluids should nev er be mixed up. This could
result in serious faults and engine dama ge.•SEAT is not responsible for damage to the v ehicle as a result of the use of
poor quality fuel, inadequate servicing o r non-availability of original spare
parts.•Spilt brake fluid may pollute the environme nt. If fluids leak or are spilt,
they should be collected and disposed of a ccordingly.•Regular servicing of your vehicle not only helps to ensure it remains in
good working order but also contributes to road safety. Therefore, we recom-
mend work is carried out in accordance with the Maintenance Programme.

SEAT maintenance programme7
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.
A list of the work to be carried out at the SEAT services is given on the
following pages. These services are valid at the time of printing and can be
subject to further modifications for technical reaso ns. Your Official SEAT
Service always has the latest available in formation and will be able to tell
you if your vehicle requires any other additio nal inspections established by
law.
The cost of the SEAT service may vary, depen ding on the vehicle type, equip-
ment fitted, additional work and statutor y inspections. Your Official SEAT
Service will tell you how much the SEAT serv ice will cost (labour and parts).

SEAT maintenance programme
8IntervalsPlease see the oil specifications given in th e Instruction Manual.
In ⇒ page 9, “General Service Programme” you wil l find the work corre-
sponding to each service.
LongLife Service
Thanks to the technology used at SEAT, with the LongLife Service, an Interval
Service only has to be carried out when it is necessary.
The length of the service intervals is also deter mined by factors such as
conditions under which the vehicle is used and personal driving style.
If LongLife engine oil is not used, the service depende nt on time/distance
travelled then applies . In this case, an oil change service will have to be carried out every 15,000 km (10,000 miles)
or every year. This also applies
if you reprogramme the vehicle to the ser vice dependent on time/distance
travelled
Note
In addition to the Inspection and Interval Se rvices, additional work should be
carried out according to the time/distance trav elled ⇒page 11.
