Notes for the user

Labels and plates
Some parts in the engine compartment come from the factory with safety
certificates, labels or plates containing important information regarding the
operation of the vehicle, for example, on the petrol cap, on the passenger's
sun visor, on the driver's door strut, or on the floor of the luggage compart-
ment.
Never remove these safety certificates, labels or plates, and ensure they
are kept in good condition and are legible.
If a vehicle part, bearing a safety certificate, label or plate, is replaced, the
qualified workshop should attach the information back in the same place.
Certificate of safety
A certificate of safety on the door strut states that all the safety standards and
regulations established by the national traffic authorities responsible for
road safety were met at the time of manufacture. It may also give the month
and year of manufacture, together with the chassis number.
Warning of high voltage label*
There is a label close to the bonnet lock which warns of high voltage in the
vehicle electrical installation. The vehicle ignition system complies with
several standards, including the Canadian standard, ICES-002.
Using your vehicle in other countries and continents
The vehicle is manufactured at the factory for use in a particular country in
accordance with the national legislation in force at the time of manufacture.
Safety First Operating instructions
If the vehicle is sold in another country or used in another country for an
extended period of time, the applicable legislation of that country should be
observed.
It may be necessary to fit or remove certain pieces of equipment or to deacti-
vate certain functions. Service work may also be affected. This is particularly
true if the vehicle is used in a different climate for an extended period of time.
As there are different types of frequency bands around the world, you may
find that the radio or navigation system supplied at the factory does not work
in another country.
Caution
SEAT does not accept liability for any damage to the vehicle due to the use
of a lower quality fuel, an inadequate service or the non-availability of
genuine spare parts.
SEAT does not accept liability if the vehicle does not comply in part or in
full with the legal requirements of other countries or continents.
Radio reception and the aerial
The aerial for radio and navigation systems fitted at the factory may be
mounted in different parts of the vehicle:
On the inside of the rear window, next to the rear window heating,
on the inside of the rear side windows,
on the inside of the windscreen,
on the roof of the car.
Aerials mounted on the inside of a window can be recognised by the fine
wires.
