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 specialist workshop 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.
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 PR “QI6” (see reverse) and if in ⇒ page 6, LongLife Service is marked with a cross. - Your vehicle has service dependent on time/distance travelled if the PR
number PR “QI1, QI2 QI3, QI4 and QI7” (see reverse) and if in
⇒ page 6, Oil Change Service is marked with a cross.
- 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.
A difference is made in SEAT between services with an engine oil change and Inspection services with no engine oil change.
The service interval display only indicates the dates of the services that include an engine oil change. The dates for all Inspection services can be found on
the sticker attached to 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

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.
