Accessories, Spare Parts And Repair Work - Seat Tarraco 2022 Owner's Manual

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 standard
of active and passive safety. For this reason, we
recommend that you ask a SEAT Official Serv-
ice for advice before fitting accessories or re-
placement parts. Your SEAT Official Service has
the latest information from the manufacturer
and can recommend accessories and replace-
ment parts which are suitable for your require-
ments. They can also answer any questions
you might have regarding official regulations.
We recommend only using SEAT accessories
and genuine SEAT parts®. SEAT has tested
these parts and accessories for suitability, reli-
ability and safety. SEAT Official Services have
the necessary experience and facilities to en-
sure that the parts are installed correctly and
professionally.
Although SEAT continuously monitors the mar-
ket, it cannot judge whether products not au-
thorised by SEAT meet the vehicle's reliability,
safety and suitability requirements. SEAT there-
fore accepts no liability for these products,
even if, in certain cases, they are authorised
by an officially recognised technical inspection
institute or official body.

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 authorisation
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 Eu-
ropean Union).
WARNING
Accessories, for example telephone holders
or cup holders, should never be fitted on the
covers, or within the working range of the air-
bags. 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 SEAT dealership
cannot be held liable for any damage caused
by modifications and/or work performed incor-
rectly.
For this reason we recommend asking official
SEAT service centres to do any necessary work
using genuine SEAT parts®.
WARNING
Incorrectly performed modifications or other
work on your vehicle can lead to malfunc-
tions and cause accidents.
Radio telephones and office equip-
ment
Radio transmitters (fixed installation)
marking
Any retrofit installations of radio transmitters
in the vehicle require prior approval. SEAT gen-
erally authorises in-vehicle installations of ap-
proved 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 ex-
ceed 10 Watts at the aerial base.
A SEAT Official Service and specialised work-
shop will be able to inform you about options
for installing and operating radio transmitters
with a higher transmitting power.
Mobile radio transmitters
Commercial mobile telephones or radio equip-
ment might interfere with the electronics of your
vehicle and cause malfunctions. This may be
