Service intervals Gener al information To ensure that you have each service carried out on time and that none are
f

orgotten, there is a reminder sticker on the driver side door pillar and a re-
minder will also be shown via the service 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 interval 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 of 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 where it is necessary to contin-
uou
sly 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 c
ountries diesel fuel has a high sulphur content; in these cases the
fuel filter and the oil should be changed every 7500 km (5000 miles)
⇒  page 7. Your Official SEAT Service will be able to tell you which coun-
tries have diesel with a high sulphur content.
The service advisor at your Official SEAT Service will advise you on the need
to carry out additional work on your vehicle, taking 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 fol-
lowing pages. These services are valid at the time of printing and can be
subject to further modifications for technical reasons. Your Official SEAT
Service always has the latest available information and will be able to tell
you if your vehicle requires any other additional inspections established by
law.
The cost of the SEAT service may vary, depending on the vehicle type,
equipment fitted, additional work and statutory inspections. Your Official
SEAT Service will tell you how much the SEAT service will cost (labour and
parts). Ð
