Seat Alhambra Owner's Manual page 110

SEAT distinguishes between services with en-
gine oil change (Interval Service) and serv-
ices without engine oil change (Inspection
Service). The service interval display only
gives information for service dates which in-
volve an engine oil change. The dates for the
other services (e.g. the next Inspection Serv-
ice or change of brake fluid) are listed on the
label attached to the door strut, or in the
Maintenance Programme.
In vehicles with Services established by
time or mileage, the service intervals are al-
ready pre-defined.
In vehicles with LongLife Service, the inter-
vals are determined individually. Technical
progress has made it possible to considera-
bly reduce servicing requirements. The tech-
nology used by SEAT ensures that your vehi-
cle only has an Interval Service when it is
necessary. To determine the Maintenance
Service (max. 2 years), the vehicle's condi-
tions of use and individual driving styles are
considered. The service pre-warning first ap-
pears 20 days before the date established
for the corresponding service. The kilometres
(miles) remaining until the next service are al-
ways rounded up to the nearest 100 km
(miles) and the time is given in complete
days. The current service message cannot be
viewed until 500 km after the last service. Pri-
or to this only lines are visible on the display.
