at a later date, or when replacing a component. A Technical Service will advise
you as to the legal requirements 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 the Technical Service will
guarantee that the assembly 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 cannot accept liability, even in those cases authorised by an
officially recognised technical inspection office or other official body.
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a direct 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 European Union's authorisation symbol). This includes cruise
control systems or electronically controlled suspension.
If any additional electrical components are fitted which do not serve to
control the vehicle itself, these must bear the
manufacturer conformity declaration). This includes refrigerator boxes,
laptops or ventilator fans.
