Accessories, spare parts and
repair work Introduction Always ask your dealer or specialist retailer
f
or advice bef
ore purchasing accessories
and replacement parts.
Your vehicle is designed to offer a high stand-
ard of active and passive safety. For this rea-
son, we recommend that you ask a SEAT Offi-
cial Service for advice before fitting accesso-
ries or replacement parts. Your SEAT Official
Service has the latest information from the
manufacturer and can recommend accesso-
ries and replacement parts which are suita-
ble for your requirements. They can also an-
swer any questions you might have regarding
official regulations.
We recommend only using SEAT accesso-
ries and genuine SEAT parts®. SEAT has
tested these parts and accessories for suita-
bility, reliability and safety. SEAT Official
Services have the necessary experience and
facilities to ensure that the parts are installed
correctly and professionally. Any r
etro-fitted equipment which has a di-
r
ect effect on the vehicle and/or the way it is
driven, such as a cruise control system or
electronically-controlled suspension, must
be approved for use in your vehicle and bear
the e mark (the European Union's authorisa-
tion symbol).
If any additional electrical devices are fit-
ted which do not serve to control the vehicle
itself (for instance a refrigerator box, laptop
or ventilator fan, etc.), they must bear the &
sign (manufacturer conformity declaration in
the European Union). WARNING
Accessories, for example telephone hold-
ers or cup hol ders, shoul
d never be fitted
on the covers, or within the working range
of the airbags. Otherwise, there is a danger
of injury if the airbag is triggered in an acci-
dent. Technical modifications
Unauthorised modifications to the electronic
components, softw
ar
e, wiring or data transfer
in the vehicle may cause malfunctioning.
You will appreciate that your SEAT dealership
cannot be held liable for any damage
caused by modifications and/or work per-
formed incorrectly. For this reason we recommend asking official
SEAT service centres t
o do any necessary
work using genuine SEAT parts®. WARNING
Incorrectly performed modifications or
other w ork on your v
ehicle can lead to mal-
functions and cause accidents. Radio telephones and office equip-

etr
