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 9
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. ÐImportance 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.
Your specialist workshop will write the details of services that have been
carried out in this notebook.
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 , such 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. £

8Service information
Unless the vehicle is regularly and correctly serviced as required in the serv-
ice 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
with the Maintenance Programme.
● Please observe the instructions for use.
Note
● Only 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
good working order but also contributes to road safety. Therefore, we rec-
ommend carrying out work according to specifications in the maintenance
tables. Your specialist workshop will be delighted to assist you. Ð

Service intervals General information
To ensure that you have each service carried out on time and that none are
forgotten, 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-
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
The service advisor at your specialist workshop will tell you if, due to pre-
vailing conditions, your vehicle will require more frequent work.
Your Official SEAT Service always has the latest available information and
will 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 Official
SEAT Service will tell you how much the SEAT service will cost (labour and
parts). Ð

LongLife Service
Thanks to the technology used at SEAT, with the LongLife Service, an Inter-
val Service only has to be carried out when it is necessary.
The length of the service intervals is also determined by factors such as
conditions under which the vehicle is used and personal driving style.
If LongLife engine oil is not used, the service dependent 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 reprogram the vehicle to the service dependent on time/distance trav-
elled
Note
In addition to the Inspection Services, additional work must be carried out
which is dependent on the time/distance travelled.
Note
Your specialist workshop is informed of the work to be completed during
each inspection.
Note
● We recommend that you visit a SEAT Authorised Service whenever you
require any work done on your vehicle.
● SEAT keeps its Authorised Services up-to-date on new product develop-
ments. They have tools and highly specialised personnel who can guaran-
tee the safety and performance of your vehicle.
● Scrupulously following the General Programme for Inspection Services
at the SEAT Authorised Services will ensure you maintain greater value for
your vehicle. Ð

Other services available Legal Inspection Service
The legal inspections must be carried out at the intervals
prescribed.Many countries have legal requirements obliging owners to have their vehi-
cle tested at specified intervals for safety for the user and for other traffic,
as well as ensuring that vehicle exhaust emissions meet the countries' reg-
ulations. These revisions must be overseen by officially certified centres.
Your SEAT Official Service can advise of the inspections required by law, and
can check your vehicle in the course of an Inspection Service. This will save
you both time and money.
The SEAT Official Service can also carry out the inspections required by law
at the client's request.
Even if you do not wish to take advantage of this service and decide to take
your vehicle to an officially certified centre for this check, we recommend
that you speak to the manager of your SEAT Official Service first.
This person will be able to inform you of any points that require attention so
that your car does not fail the test and have to be re-tested. Ð
Approved spare parts
Genuine SEAT spare parts are designed for your vehicle and approved by
SEAT, particularly as regards safety. The workmanship, precision of dimen-
sions and materials of these parts comply exactly with factory specifica-
tions. Genuine SEAT spare parts have been designed especially for your ve-
hicle. We therefore recommend that you always use genuine SEAT spare parts. SEAT will not be held responsible for the safety and reliability of parts
from other manufacturers.
In the SEAT Technical Service Centres you will generally find the most impor-
tant genuine SEAT spare parts. If a part is not in stock, it can usually be ob-
tained quickly.
SEAT Technical Service Centres provide a warranty for genuine SEAT spare
parts, valid from the date of purchase or fitting. It is therefore advisable to
retain the original invoice from the SEAT Technical Service Centre as proof of
the contractual warranty.
Please ask your SEAT Official Service for further information.
The genuine SEAT spare parts warranty can be submitted to
any SEAT Offi-
cial Service . Ð
Approved SEAT exchange parts
The approved SEAT exchange parts, conforming to the manufacturer's re-
quirements, constitute an additional service at your disposal, offering you
the possibility to replace entire assemblies, the most common being: the
lightened engine, gearboxes, cylinder heads, control units, electrical ele-
ments, etc.
These are Approved parts and as such, share the same approved spare
parts warranty as the manufacturer parts.
However, these parts are considerably cheaper as they are factory-recondi-
tioned used parts. Keep the invoice for the approved SEAT exchange parts
as proof of the start of the existing warranty.
More information about this may be obtained at the SEAT Official Service. Ð

12Other services available
Genuine accessories
We recommend that you use only Genuine SEAT Accessories
and accessories approved by SEAT.
If you wish to equip your car with accessories, you should remember the fol-
lowing points:
We recommend that you use only Genuine SEAT Accessories and approved
SEAT Accessories. These accessories are checked for reliability, safety and
suitability for your vehicle type. SEAT will not be held responsible for the
safety and reliability of parts from other manufacturers.
The Official SEAT Service provides a warranty for Genuine Accessories valid
from the date of purchase or fitting. It is therefore advisable to retain the
original invoice from the SEAT Official Service as proof of the existing war-
ranty.
More information about this may be obtained at the SEAT Official Service.
The accessories service also offers you expert advice and, if required, fitting
by a specialist.
In addition, Official SEAT Services are able to supply car care products and
parts subject to natural wear, such as tyres, a battery and light bulbs. Ð
Paintwork and body service
SEAT vehicles are designed in such a way that, in case of bodywork dam-
age, there is only need to replace and paint the parts that have been really
affected.
Both operations must be carried out according to the requirements of the
manufacturer; this is an essential condition for conservation of the body-
work and paintwork warranties. Ð

Warranty
Warranty Fault-free operation warranty
Official SEAT Services provide a warranty for the fault-free operation of SEAT
vehicles new from the factory. Consult your sales contract, or complimentary
or additional documentation provided by your Technical Service where the
details of the warranty conditions and the warranty period are accredited.
Please ask your SEAT Official Service for further information.
We hope that it is understood that natural wear as well as damage caused
by the abuse of vehicle performance through inappropriate use or by unac-
ceptable modifications are excluded from the warranty. The warranty is also
invalid when the vehicle is damaged by the use of parts and accessories
that are not SEAT approved or damage due to ignoring the maintenance and
repair requirements. Ð
Paintwork and body warranty
Official SEAT Services provide a warranty that covers the
paintwork and bodies of all vehicles purchased from them.
In addition to the warranty conditions for brand new SEAT vehicles (as de-
tailed in the purchase contract, or complimentary or additional documenta-
tion), a defined period warranty is also provided covering paintwork and
body rusting:
● The additional warranty on paint faults covers the first 3 years following
delivery
● Covered against perforation rusting on the body during the first 12 years
following delivery. However, should this type of damage occur, it will be repaired free of charge
for parts and labour by any SEAT Official Service.
Warranty claims will not be accepted in the following circumstances:
●
if damage is caused by external influence or carelessness, or
● if the damage to the body or the paint has not been repaired in accord-
ance with the manufacturer-defined requirements, or
● if perforation rusting was caused by the failure to carry out repairs in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
If the body is repaired or painted, your Technical Service will certify your
warranty against perforation rusting for the repaired sections. Ð
