Service information
4Service typeLongLife service or service dependent on time/distance tr avelled?Depending on your vehicle's technical characteristics either the LongLife 
service or the service dependent on time/dista nce travelled will apply. If you 
do not wish to have the LongLife service  you can choose the service 
dependent on time/distance travelled. You r Official SEAT Service has the 
most recent information about the servic es and can advise you on the best  type of service for your vehicle, and if th
ere are any additional inspections it 
requires by law. In the following pages we h ave compiled the most important 
information about the services offered. These s ervices are valid at the time of 
printing and can be subject to further mod ifications for technical reasons.
Note
If LongLife oil is not used, the service depe ndent on time/distance travelled 
is applied, and the oil must be changed e very 15,000 km (10,000 miles) or 
every year. 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 No.  “QG1 ” appears on the vehicle 
data carrier (see back) and on  ⇒page 5, the LongLife Service is marked 
with a cross. - Your vehicle has service dependent on t
ime/distance travelled if the PR 
number “ QG0 or QG2 ” (see back) appears on the vehicle data  carrier and if 
on  ⇒page 5 the Oil Change Service is marked  with a cross.
- The Interval Service appears on the “Next Ser vices” sticker (on the door pil-
lar). - The Oil Change Service appears on the “
Next Services” sticker (on the door 
pillar).
- The LongLife Service is marked with a cross  on ⇒page 5. - The service dependent on time/dista nce travelled is marked with a cross on 
⇒ page 5.
SEAT distinguishes between services  with engine oil change (e.g. Interval Service ) and services without engine oil change (e.g. Inspection  Service). 
The service interval display only indicates the dates  of services that include engine oil change. The dates of all other services, such as Inspection Service or 
brake fluid change, appear in the sticker on  the door pillar.

Service information
6•If LongLife engine oil is not used, th e service dependent on time/distance 
travelled then applies. In this case, an oil c hange service will have to be 
carried out every 15,000 km (10,000 miles) or  every year.Importance of the Maintenance ProgrammeThe Maintenance Programme confirms the date of deliv ery 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 
ensure 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 han d whenever you need it.
Please remember to give the Maintenanc e Programme to the new owner if 
you sell your car.
The SEAT Service Centre network is equ ipped with modern workshop tech-
nology and well-trained specialists. Many S EAT Service Centres offer different 
service packages at special prices
Safety notesAll fluids and consumables , such as timing belts, tyres, coolant liquid, en gine 
oil, spark plugs and vehicle batteries are cont inuously being developed. 
Therefore, we recommend you take the veh icle to a qualified workshop to 
have fluids or consumables changed. The Official SE AT Services receive 
regular up-to-date information about mo difications. This is why SEAT recom-
mends you have fluids and other consumables  replaced by an Official SEAT 
Service.
Unless the vehicle is regularly and correctly s erviced as required in the 
service plan, the vehicle could breakdown wh ile driving, leading to serious 
accident and injury.•S e r v i c e s  s h o u l d  b e  c a r r i e d  o u t  b y  a  q u a l i f i e d  w o r k s h o p  i n  a c c o r d a n ce  w i t h  
the Maintenance Programme.•Please observe the instructions for use.Note
•Only use suitable fluids. Fluids should nev er be mixed up. This could 
result in serious faults and engine dama ge.•SEAT is not responsible for damage to the v ehicle as a result of the use of 
poor quality fuel, inadequate servicing o r non-availability of original spare 
parts.•Spilt brake fluid may pollute the environme nt. If fluids leak or are spilt, 
they should be collected and disposed of a ccordingly.•Regular servicing of your vehicle not only helps to ensure it remains in 
good working order but also contributes  to road safety. Therefore, we recom-
mend work is carried out in accordance with  the Maintenance Programme.

LongLife Service
Thanks to the technology used at SEAT, with  the LongLife Service, an Interval 
Service only has to be carried out when  it is necessary.
The length of the service intervals is also deter mined by factors such as 
conditions under which the vehicle is used  and personal driving style.
If LongLife engine oil is not used, the service depende nt 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 reprogramme the vehicle to the ser vice dependent on time/distance 
travelled
Note
In addition to the Inspection and Interval Se rvices, additional work should be 
carried out according to the time/distance trav elled ⇒page 11.
