Accessories, spare parts
and repair work
Introduction
Always ask your dealer or specialist retailer for
advice before purchasing accessories and re-
placement parts.
Your vehicle is designed to offer a high stand-
ard of active and passive safety. For this rea-
son, we recommend that you ask a specialised
CUPRA Service or SEAT Official Service for ad-
vice before fitting accessories or replacement
parts. Your Official Service has the latest in-
formation from the manufacturer and can rec-
ommend accessories and replacement parts
which are suitable for your requirements. They
can also answer any questions you might have
regarding official regulations.
We recommend you to use only CUPRA ac-
cessories and Genuine CUPRA parts®. Spe-
cialised CUPRA Services or SEAT Official Serv-
ices have the necessary experience and facili-
ties to ensure that the parts are installed cor-
rectly and professionally.
Although CUPRA continuously monitors the
market, it cannot judge whether products not
authorised by CUPRA meet the vehicle's reli-
ability, safety and suitability requirements. CU-
PRA therefore accepts no liability for these
products, even if, in certain cases, they are au-
thorised by an officially recognised technical
inspection institute or official body.
Accessories, spare parts and repair work
Maintenance
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a di-
rect effect on the vehicle and/or the way it
is driven, such as a cruise control system or
electronically-controlled suspension, must
be approved for use in your vehicle and bear
the e mark (the European Union's authorisa-
tion symbol).
If any additional electrical devices are fitted
which do not serve to control the vehicle itself
(for instance a refrigerator box, laptop or venti-
lator fan, etc.), they must bear the
(manufacturer conformity declaration in the
European Union).
WARNING
Accessories, for example telephone holders
or cup holders, should never be fitted on the
covers, or within the working range of the
airbags. Otherwise, there is a danger of injury
if the airbag is triggered in an accident.
Technical modifications
Unauthorised modifications to the electronic
components, software, wiring or data transfer
in the vehicle may cause malfunctioning.
You will appreciate that your specialised CU-
PRA dealer or SEAT dealership cannot be held
liable for any damage caused by modifications
and/or work performed incorrectly in the vehi-
cle.
We therefore recommend that all work should
be performed by a specialised CUPRA Service
or a SEAT Official Service using genuine CU-
PRA parts®.
WARNING
Incorrectly performed modifications or other
work on your vehicle can lead to malfunc-
tions and cause accidents.

Radio transmitters (fixed installation)
Any retrofit installations of radio transmitters
in the vehicle require prior approval. CUPRA
generally authorises in-vehicle installations of
approved types of radio transmitters provided
that:
●
The antenna is installed correctly.
●
The aerial is installed on the exterior of the
vehicle (and shielded cables are used together
with non-reflective aerial trimming).
●
The effective transmitting power does not
exceed 10 Watts at the aerial base.
A specialised CUPRA Service, SEAT Official
Service or specialised workshop will be able to
inform you about options for installing and op-
erating radio transmitters with a higher trans-
mitting power.
