Care and maintenance

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
radius of action.
Care and maintenance
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 technical
service centre will advise you as to the legal
requirements and manufacturer's recommen-
dations 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 the technical
service centre will guarantee that the assem-
bly is carried out professionally.
Although we continually monitor the market,
SEAT cannot guarantee that products not
approved by SEAT are reliable, safe and
suitable for the vehicle. Therefore, SEAT can-
not accept liability, even in those cases au-
thorised by an officially recognised technical
inspection office or other official body.
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a di-
rect effect on the vehicle and/or the way it is
driven must be approved by SEAT for use in
your vehicle and bear the e mark (the Euro-
pean Union's authorisation symbol). This in-
cludes cruise control systems or electronical-
ly controlled suspension.
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 the
covers of the airbag modules or within their
radius of action.
Objects placed over the airbag covers, or
●
within their radius of action, could lead to
serious injury or loss of life if the airbags
are triggered.
