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 reminder will also be shown
via the service interval display on the instru-
ment panel.
The service intervals quoted are for vehicles
used under
normal operating conditions .
Ho w
ever, if the vehicle is used in adverse
conditions
, it may require work before the
next established service interval or even be-
tween service intervals.
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 continuously 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 specialised work-
shop will tell you if, due to prevailing condi-
tions, your vehicle will require more frequent
work.
Your SEAT Official Service always has the lat-
est available information and will be able to
tell you if your vehicle requires any other ad-
ditional inspections established by law.
The cost of the SEAT service may vary, de-
pending on the vehicle type, equipment fit-
ted, additional work and statutory inspec-
tions. Your SEAT Official Service will tell you
how much the SEAT service will cost (labour
and parts). 9
Warranty
Warranty Fault-free operation warranty SEAT Official Services provide a warranty for
the fault-free operation of SEAT vehicles new
from the factory. Consult your sales contract,
or complimentary or additional documenta-
tion 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 informa-
tion.
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 unacceptable modifications are ex-
cluded from the warranty. The warranty is al-
so 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.
Paintwork and body warranty SEAT Official 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 detailed in the
purchase contract, or complimentary or addi- tional documentation), a defined period war-
ranty is also provided covering paintwork and
body rusting:
● The additional warranty on paint faults cov-
ers the first 3 years following delivery
● Covered against perforation rusting on the
body during the first 12 years following deliv-
ery.
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 accordance with the
manufacturer-defined requirements, or
● if perforation rusting was caused by the
failure to carry out repairs in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
If the body is repaired or painted, your Tech-
nical Service will certify your warranty against
perforation rusting for the repaired sections. 14
