Service information
Importance of the Maintenance Pro-
gr amme The Maintenance Programme confirms the
dat

e of delivery of your vehicle and thus
the beginning of its warranty cover.
The vehicle data that appears in the Mainte-
nance Programme guarantees that the appro-
priate Genuine SEAT ®
Parts are installed. This
data helps ensure that your car can be re-
paired without difficulty even after many
years of use.
Your specialised workshop will write the de-
tails of services that have been carried out in
this notebook.
Your Maintenance Programme should be kept
in the vehicle with the on-board documenta-
tion 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 technology and well-
trained specialists. Many SEAT Service Cen-
tres offer different service packages at spe-
cial prices Safety notes All fluids and consumables
, s uch as timing
belts, tyres, coolant liquid, engine oil, spark
plugs and vehicle batteries are continuously
being developed. Therefore, we recommend
you take the vehicle to a specialised work-
shop to have fluids or consumables changed.
The SEAT Official Services receive regular up-
to-date information about modifications. This
is why SEAT recommends you have fluids and
other consumables replaced by a SEAT Offi-
cial Service.
If the vehicle is not serviced or incorrectly/ir-
regularly serviced, the vehicle may break
down while driving, leading to serious acci-
dent and injury.

Other services available L egal Inspection Service The legal inspections must be carried out
at
the intervals prescribed.
Many countries have legal requirements ob-
liging owners to have their vehicle tested at
specified intervals for safety for the user and
for other traffic, as well as ensuring that vehi-
cle exhaust emissions meet the countries'
regulations. These revisions must be over-
seen 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 manag-
er 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-tes-
ted. Approved spare parts Genuine SEAT spare parts are designed for
y

our vehicle and approved by SEAT, particu-
larly as regards safety. The workmanship,
precision of dimensions and materials of
these parts comply exactly with factory speci-
fications. Genuine SEAT spare parts have
been designed especially for your vehicle.
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.
At SEAT Authorised Service Partners you will
generally find the most important genuine
SEAT parts. If a part is not in stock, it can usu-
ally be obtained quickly.
SEAT Authorised Service Partners provide a
warranty for genuine SEAT parts, valid from
the date of purchase or fitting. It is therefore
advisable to retain the original receipt from
the SEAT Authorised Service Partner as proof
of the contractual warranty.
Please ask your SEAT Official Service for fur-
ther information.
The genuine SEAT spare parts warranty can
be submitted to any SEAT Official Service .Approved SEAT exchange parts The approved SEAT exchange parts, conform-
in
g to the manufacturer's requirements, con-
stitute 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 elements, etc.
These are Approved parts and as such, share
the same approved spare parts warranty as
the manufacturer parts.
However, these parts are considerably cheap-
er as they are factory-reconditioned used
parts. Keep the invoice for the approved SEAT
exchange parts as proof of the start of the ex-
isting warranty.
More information about this may be obtained
at the SEAT Official Service.
Genuine accessories We recommend that you use only Genuine
S

EAT Accessories and accessories ap-
proved by SEAT.

Paintwork and body service SEAT vehicles are designed in such a way
th

at, in case of bodywork damage, there is
only need to replace and paint the parts that
have been really affected.
Both operations must be carried out accord-
ing to the requirements of the manufacturer; this is an essential condition for conservation
of
the bodywork and paintwork warranties.
