Service information
Service type LongLife service or service dependent on time/distance travelled?
Depending on your vehicle's technical char-
acteristics 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
dependent on time/distance travelled. Your
specialised workshop has the most recent in-
formation about the services and can adviseyou on the best type of service for your vehi-
cle, and if there are any additional inspec-
tions it requires 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 provided the vehicle data sticker has the PR number “QI6” (see back)
and if – your vehicle is serviced according to the time/distance travelled, provided the vehicle
data sticker has the PR number “QI1, QI2, QI3, QI4 and QI7” (see back)
, and if
– on the ››› page 6 , the LongLife Service has been marked with a cross. – On ››› page 6 , the servicing dependent on time/distance travelled is marked with
a cross.
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 engine oil change and inspection services.
Note
If LongLife oil is not used, the service de-
pendent on time/distance travelled is ap-
plied, and the oil must be changed every
15 000 km or every year. 5

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

LongLife Service
Thanks to the technology used at SEAT, with
the
LongLife Service , an Interval Service only
has to be carried out when it is necessary.
The length of the service intervals is also de-
termined by factors such as conditions under which the vehicle is used and personal driv-
ing 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
or every year. This also applies if you repro-
gram the vehicle to the service dependent on
time/distance travelled Note
● In addition to the Inspection Service and
Oil Change, additional work must be carried
out which is dependent on the time/mileage.
● Your specialised workshop is informed of
the work to be completed during each inspec-
tion. 10
