Service information
Importance of the Maintenance Programme The Maintenance Programme confirms the date of delivery
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 en-
sure 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 hand whenever you need it.
Please remember to give the Maintenance Programme to the new owner if
you sell your car.
The SEAT Service Centre network is equipped with modern workshop tech-
nology and well-trained specialists. Many SEAT Service Centres offer differ-
ent service packages at special prices Ð
Safety notes All fluids and consumables
, s
uch as timing belts, tyres, coolant liquid, en-
gine oil, spark plugs and vehicle batteries are continuously being devel-
oped. Therefore, we recommend you take the vehicle to a qualified work-
shop to have fluids or consumables changed. The Official SEAT Services re-
ceive regular up-to-date information about modifications. This is why SEAT
recommends you have fluids and other consumables replaced by an Official
SEAT Service. Unless the vehicle is regularly and correctly serviced as required in the serv-
ic
e plan, the vehicle could breakdown while driving, leading to serious acci-
dent and injury.
● Services should be carried out by a qualified workshop in accordance
w
ith the Maintenance Programme.
● Please observe the instructions for use. Note
● On
ly use suitable fluids. Fluids should never be mixed up. This could re-
sult in serious faults and engine damage.
● SEAT is not responsible for damage to the vehicle as a result of the use
of
poor quality fuel, inadequate servicing or non-availability of original
spare parts.
● Spilt brake fluid may pollute the environment. If fluids leak or are spilt,
they
should be collected and disposed of accordingly.
● Regular servicing of your vehicle not only helps to ensure it remains in
g
ood working order but also contributes to road safety. Therefore, we rec-
ommend work is carried out in accordance with the Maintenance Pro-
gramme. Ð
