Accessories, replacement of
parts and modifications
Introduction
WARNING
The use of spare parts and accessories, or
incorrectly performed modifications or re-
pairs may result in damage to the vehicle,
accidents and serious injury.
SEAT strongly recommends you to only
●
use SEAT approved accessories and SEAT
original spare parts. These parts and ac-
cessories have been specially tested by
SEAT for suitability, reliability and safety.
Have any repairs or modifications carried
●
out at a specialised workshop. These work-
shops have the necessary tools, diagnos-
tics equipment, repair information and
qualified personnel.
Only mount parts with the same specifi-
●
cations as the parts fitted at factory.
Never mount, fasten or fit objects such as
●
drink holders or telephone cradles over the
covers of the airbag modules or within their
deployment zones.

Practical tips
Only use wheels and tyre combinations
●
which have been approved by SEAT for
your vehicle type.
Accessories and spare parts
SEAT recommends you consult an Official
Service before purchasing accessories and
spare parts or consumables. For example,
when fitting accessories at a later date, or
when replacing a component. A SEAT Official
Service will advise you as to the legal require-
ments and manufacturer's recommendations
regarding accessories, spare parts and other
components.
SEAT recommend you use only approved
SEAT accessories and genuine SEAT spare
®
parts ® . These parts and accessories have
been specially tested by SEAT for suitability,
reliability and safety. In addition, SEAT techni-
cal services will guarantee that assembly is
performed professionally.
Although we continually monitor the market,
SEAT cannot guarantee that products not
approved by SEAT are reliable, safe or suita-
ble for the vehicle. Therefore, SEAT cannot
accept liability, even in those cases author-
ised by an officially recognised technical in-
spection office or other official body.
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a di-
rect effect on vehicle control must be ap-
proved by SEAT for use in your vehicle and
bear the e mark (the European Union's au-
thorisation symbol). This includes cruise con-
trol systems or electronically controlled sus-
pension.
If any additional electrical devices are fit-
ted which do not serve to control the vehicle
itself, these must bear the mark (European

Union manufacturer conformity declaration).
This includes refrigerator boxes, laptops or
ventilator fans.
WARNING
Unprofessional repairs or modifications to
the vehicle may affect the performance of
the airbags, and may cause operating
faults or fatal accidents.
Never mount, fasten or fit objects such as
●
drink holders or telephone cradles over or
next to the covers of the airbag modules or
within their deployment zones.
Objects placed over the airbag covers, or
●
within their deployment zones, could lead
to serious injury or loss of life if the airbags
are triggered.
Service fluids and components
All vehicle fluids and consumables, such as
notched belts, tyres, coolant fluids, engine
oils, spark plugs and batteries are continually
being developed. Therefore all fluids and
