Service information
Service type
LongLife service or service dependent on time/distance travelled?
Depending on your vehicle's technical characteristics either the LongLife
service or the service dependent on time/distance travelled will apply. If you
do not wish to have the LongLife service you can choose the service de-
pendent on time/distance travelled. Your SEAT Official Service has the most
recent information about the services and can advise you on the best type of service for your vehicle, and if there are any additional inspections it re-
quires by law. In the following pages we have compiled the most important
information about the services offered. These services are valid at the time
of printing and can be subject to further modifications for technical reasons.
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 number “QG1” (see back) ap- pears on the vehicle data sticker and if, on ⇒ page 6, the LongLife Serv-
ice is marked with a cross. - Your vehicle has service dependent on time/distance travelled if the PR
number “QG0, QG2 or QG3 ” (see back) appears on the vehicle data sticker
and if, on ⇒ page 6, the Oil Change Service is marked with a cross.
- The Interval Service appears on the “Next Services” 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 6. - The service dependent on time/distance travelled is marked with a cross
on ⇒ page 6.
SEAT differentiates between services with an engine oil change (e.g. Interval Service) and services without an engine oil change (e.g. Inspection Service).
The service interval display only provides information about service dates that include a change of engine oil. The dates of all other services, such as Inspec-
tion Service or brake fluid change, appear in the sticker on the door pillar.
Note
If LongLife oil is not used, the service dependent on time/distance travelled
is applied, and the oil must be changed every 15 000 km (10 000 miles) or
every year. Ð

LongLife Service
(PR no. QG1) Service dependent on time/
distance travelled (PR PR: QG0, QG2 or QG3)

Vehicle delivery documentation from the SEAT Official Service
Delivery inspection carried out:
Date:
SEAT Official Service stamp
If diesel with a high sulphur content is used, the fuel filter and the oil
should be changed every 7500 km (5000 miles) ⇒ page 9. Your SEAT Of-
ficial Service will be able to tell you which countries have diesel with a high
sulphur content.
Before delivery, your vehicle was inspected according to factory guidelines.
This ensures that driving will be a pleasure from the very beginning.
The agent will provide you with the following information when the vehicle
is delivered: ●
Running-in
● Changing the brake fluid
● Service intervals, in particular information on what constitutes severe
operating conditions ⇒ page 8
Note
● Using diesel fuel with a high sulphur content may significantly reduce
the useful life of the diesel particulate filter.
● If LongLife engine oil is not used, the service dependent on time/dis-
tance 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. Ð
