Service information
Service type LongLife service or service dependent on time/distance travelled?
Depending on your vehicle's technical char-
act eristics 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 advise you on the best type of service for your vehi-
c
le, 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 7, the LongLife Service has been marked with a cross. – On ››› page 7, 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. 6

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.
● Service work is carried out according to the
M

aintenance Programme at a specialised
workshop.
● Please observe the instructions for use. Note
● On
ly use suitable fluids. Fluids should nev-
er be mixed up. This could result in serious
faults and engine damage.
● SEAT is not responsible for damage to the
v

ehicle as a result of the use of poor quality
fuel, inadequate servicing or non-availability
of original spare parts. ●
S
pilt brake fluid may pollute the environ-
ment. If fluids leak or are spilt, they should
be collected and disposed of accordingly.
● Regular servicing of your vehicle not only
help
s to ensure it remains in good working
order but also contributes to road safety.
Therefore, we recommend carrying out work
according to specifications in the Mainte-
nance tables. Your specialised workshop will
be delighted to assist you. 9

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 .
However, 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
wher
e it is necessary to continuously brake
and start, and ●
u
sing the vehicle mainly in the winter
This particularly affects: ● the air filter
● the timing belt
● the engine oil and
● the diesel particulate filter
The ser
vice 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). 10

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 ev
ery year. This also applies if you repro-
gram the vehicle to the service dependent on
time/distance travelled Note
● In a
ddition 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 w
ork to be completed during each inspec-
tion.
● We recommend that you visit a SEAT Au-
thori
sed Service whenever you require any
work done on your vehicle. ●
S
EAT keeps its Authorised Services up-to-
date on new product developments. They
have tools and highly specialised personnel
who can guarantee the safety and perform-
ance of your vehicle.
● Scrupulously following the General Pro-
gr
amme for Inspection Services at the SEAT
Authorised Services can help you maintain
greater value for your vehicle. 11
