Service information
Service type LongLife service or service dependent on time/distance travelled?
Depending on your vehicle's technical characteristics either the LongLife
ser vice or the service dependent on time/distance travelled will apply. If you
do not wish to have the LongLife service you can choose the service de-
pendent on time/distance travelled. Your Official SEAT Service has the most
recent information about the services and can advise you on the best type of service for your vehicle, and if there are any additional inspections it re-
quir es by law. In the following pages we have compiled the most important
information about the services offered. These services are valid at the time
of printing and can be subject to further modifications for technical reasons.
How to know which type of service your vehicle requires
LongLife Service: Service dependent on time/distance travelled:
- Your vehicle has LongLife Service if the PR number “QG1” (see b
ack) ap-
pears on the vehicle data sticker and if, on ⇒ page 4, the LongLife Serv-
ice is marked with a cross. - Your vehicle has service dependent on time/distance travelled if the PR
number “QG0, QG2 or QG3” (see back) appears on the vehicle data sticker
and if, on ⇒  page 4, the Oil Change Service is marked with a cross.
- The Interval Service appears on the “Next Services” sticker (on the door pil- l
ar). - The Oil Change Service appears on the “Next Services” sticker (on the door
pillar).
- The LongLife Service is marked with a cross on ⇒
 page 4. - The service dependent on time/distance travelled is marked with a cross
on ⇒  page 4. SEAT differentiates between services
with an en
gine oil change (e.g. Interval Service) and services without an engine oil change (e.g. Inspection Service).
The service interval display only provides information about service dates that include a change of engine oil. The dates of all other services, such as Inspec-
tion Service or brake fluid change, appear in the sticker on the door pillar. Note
If LongLife oil is not used, the service dependent on time/distance travelled
i
s applied, and the oil must be changed every 15 000 km (10 000 miles) or
every year. Ð

Vehicle delivery documentation from the Official SEAT Service
Delivery inspection carried out:
Date:

Official SEAT Service stamp If diesel with a high sulphur content is used,
the f
uel filter and the oil
should be changed every 7500 km (5000 miles) ⇒ page 7. Your Official
SEAT Service will be able to tell you which countries have diesel with a high
sulphur content.
Before delivery, your vehicle was inspected according to factory guidelines.
This ensures that driving will be a pleasure from the very beginning.
The agent will provide you with the following information when the vehicle
is delivered: ●
Running-in
● Changing the brake fluid
● Service intervals, in particular information on what constitutes severe
oper
ating conditions ⇒ page 6 Note
● U
sing diesel fuel with a high sulphur content may significantly reduce
the useful life of the diesel particulate filter.
● If LongLife engine oil is not used, the service dependent on time/dis-
t

ance travelled then applies. In this case, an oil change service will have to
be carried out every 15 000 km (10 000 miles) or every year. Ð

Service information
Importance of the Maintenance Programme The Maintenance Programme confirms the date of delivery
of
your vehicle and thus the beginning of its warranty cover.
The vehicle data that appears in the Maintenance Programme guarantees
that the appropriate Genuine SEAT ®
Parts are installed. This data helps en-
sure that your car can be repaired without difficulty even after many years of
use.
The Maintenance Programme also informs you of which service should be
carried out when, and the work this entails.
Your Official SEAT Service will note down in this booklet the services carried
out.
Your Maintenance Programme should be kept in the vehicle with the on-
board documentation so that it is at hand whenever you need it.
Please remember to give the Maintenance Programme to the new owner if
you sell your car.
The SEAT Service Centre network is equipped with modern workshop tech-
nology and well-trained specialists. Many SEAT Service Centres offer differ-
ent service packages at special prices Ð
Safety notes All fluids and consumables
, s
uch as timing belts, tyres, coolant liquid, en-
gine oil, spark plugs and vehicle batteries are continuously being devel-
oped. Therefore, we recommend you take the vehicle to a qualified work-
shop to have fluids or consumables changed. The Official SEAT Services re-
ceive regular up-to-date information about modifications. This is why SEAT
recommends you have fluids and other consumables replaced by an Official
SEAT Service. Unless the vehicle is regularly and correctly serviced as required in the serv-
ic

e plan, the vehicle could breakdown while driving, leading to serious acci-
dent and injury.
● Services should be carried out by a qualified workshop in accordance
w

ith the Maintenance Programme.
● Please observe the instructions for use. Note
● On
ly use suitable fluids. Fluids should never be mixed up. This could re-
sult in serious faults and engine damage.
● SEAT is not responsible for damage to the vehicle as a result of the use
of

poor quality fuel, inadequate servicing or non-availability of original
spare parts.
● Spilt brake fluid may pollute the environment. If fluids leak or are spilt,
they
should be collected and disposed of accordingly.
● Regular servicing of your vehicle not only helps to ensure it remains in
g

ood working order but also contributes to road safety. Therefore, we rec-
ommend work is carried out in accordance with the Maintenance Pro-
gramme. Ð

Service intervals Gener al information To ensure that you have each service carried out on time and that none are
f

orgotten, there is a reminder sticker on the driver side door pillar and a re-
minder will also be shown via the service interval display on the instrument
panel.
The service intervals quoted are for vehicles used under normal operating
conditions.
However, if the vehicle is used in adverse conditions, it may require work
before the next established service interval or even between service inter-
vals.
Adverse conditions include:
● the use of fuel with a high sulphur content
● frequent short journeys
● leaving the engine idling for long periods of time (as occurs with taxis)
● driving on dusty roads or in dusty areas
● frequently using the vehicle for towing
● mainly driving in the city, in heavy traffic where it is necessary to contin-
uou
sly brake and start, and
● using the vehicle mainly in the winter This particularly affects:
●
the air filter
● the timing belt
● the engine oil and
● the diesel particulate filter
In some c
ountries diesel fuel has a high sulphur content; in these cases the
fuel filter and the oil should be changed every 7500 km (5000 miles)
⇒  page 7. Your Official SEAT Service will be able to tell you which coun-
tries have diesel with a high sulphur content.
The service advisor at your Official SEAT Service will advise you on the need
to carry out additional work on your vehicle, taking into account the usage
conditions of the vehicle.
A list of the work to be carried out at the SEAT services is given on the fol-
lowing pages. These services are valid at the time of printing and can be
subject to further modifications for technical reasons. Your Official SEAT
Service always has the latest available information and will be able to tell
you if your vehicle requires any other additional inspections established by
law.
The cost of the SEAT service may vary, depending on the vehicle type,
equipment fitted, additional work and statutory inspections. Your Official
SEAT Service will tell you how much the SEAT service will cost (labour and
parts). Ð

LongLife Service
Thanks to the technology used at SEAT, with the LongLife Service, an Inter-
val Service only has to be carried out when it is necessary.
The length of the service intervals is also determined by factors such as
conditions under which the vehicle is used and personal driving style.
If LongLife engine oil is not used, the service dependent on time/distance
travelled then applies. In this case, an oil change service will have to be
carried out every 15 000 km (10 000 miles) or every year. This also applies
if you reprogram the vehicle to the service dependent on time/distance trav-
elled Note
In addition to the Inspection and Interval Services, additional work should
be c
arried out according to the time/distance travelled ⇒ page 10.Ð
