General information
To ensure that you have each service carried out on time and that none areforgotten, 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 instrumentpanel.
The service intervals quoted are for vehicles used under normal operatingconditions.
However, if the vehicle is used in adverse conditions, it may require workbefore 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-uously 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 sulphur content; in these cases thefuel filter and the oil should be changed every 7500 km (5000 miles)⇒ page 12. Your SEAT Official Service will be able to tell you which coun-tries have diesel with a high sulphur content.
The service advisor at your specialised workshop will tell you if, due to pre-vailing conditions, your vehicle will require more frequent work.
Your SEAT Official Service always has the latest available information andwill be able to tell you if your vehicle requires any other additional inspec-tions established by law.
The cost of the SEAT service may vary, depending on the vehicle type,equipment fitted, additional work and statutory inspections. Your SEAT Offi-cial Service will tell you how much the SEAT service will cost (labour andparts).
