SEAT maintenance programme
8SEAT maintenance programmeGeneral informationThis maintenance programme will inform you of the work to carry out regularly
on your vehicle in order to ensure the safety, reliability and durability
required.
Using the “vehicle identification” data or the data contained in this docu-
ment, the correct spare parts your vehicle could require in case of repairs are
specified, even after many years from the initial purchase.
We recommend that you keep this maintenance programme with the vehicle
documents. The inspection receipts are one of the essential requirements for
exercising your rights under warranty.
The maintenance programme shows the date of delivery, and this indicates
the starting date of the vehicle warranty.Maintenance ProgrammeThe SEAT maintenance programme consists of the different inspection serv-
ices which are carried out according to the time since the vehicle purchase or
its mileage.
Each Inspection Service, as well as any additional operation required already
has a pre-established work time. This will allow you to know the total cost of
the service beforehand.
The SEAT Service Centre network is equipped with modern workshop tech-
nology and well-trained specialists. Many SEAT Service Centres offer different
service packages at special prices.
Adverse conditionsThe Service Centre “service advisor” will inform you of any necessary addi-
tional work within the intervals defined by the Inspection Service, according
to the conditions and environment in which the vehicle is used. For example,
an oil change where the vehicle is used only for frequent short journeys or is
subject to extreme temperatures. Likewise, when the vehicle is used in dusty
conditions, dust and pollen filter cartridges must be changed more often and
the timing belt must be checked.Diesel fuelThe Service Centre “service advisor” can provide information about which
co untr i es us e fue l wi th a hi gh sulp hu r co nten t . I n th ese cas es , t he oil m ust b e
changed every 7,500 km (5,000 miles).
Caution
•Vehicles with the label “UNSUITABLE FOR BIODIESEL” on the fuel cover
cannot be driven using biodiesel.•To be certain if your vehicle can be used with biodiesel according to the
DIN EN 14214 (FAME) standard, consult your Service Centre.•DIN is a German abbreviation for “ Deutsches Institut für N ormung e.V.”,
the German standards institute.•EN means European Norm.•FAME is the English abbreviation for “ Fatty Acid Methyl Ester”.

General programme for Inspection Services
10General programme for Inspection ServicesInspection servicesA reminder label for the scheduled inspection services is located on the
inside of the driver door frame; you will also be reminded by the service
interval counter on the instrument panel, and the service records in this docu-
ment.
Note
•We recommend that you visit an Authorised SEAT Service Centre whenever
you require any work done on your vehicle.•SEAT regularly communicates to its Authorised Service Centres new
product developments. They have tools and highly specialized personnel
who can guarantee the safety and performance of your vehicle.•Scrupulously following the General Programme for Inspection Services in
Authorised SEAT Service Centres will ensure you maintain greater value for
your vehicle.Maintenance intervalsThe SEAT maintenance programme requires that your vehicle undergoes an
inspection every 15,000 km (10,000 miles) or once a year.
Depending on your style of driving, the maintenance programme will depend
on the mileage of the vehicle or on the time since the date of purchase.
For those vehicles covering more than 15,000 km (10,000 miles) / year, the
maintenance will be performed according to the mileage (see the example on
table 1). For those vehicles covering less than 15,000 km (10,000 miles) /year, the
maintenance will be programmed according to the time (see the example on
table 2).

Other services available
16Other services availableLegal Inspection ServiceThe legal inspections must be carried out at the intervals
prescribed.Many countries have legal requirements obliging owners to have their vehicle
tested at specified intervals for safety for the user and for other traffic, as well
as ensuring that vehicle exhaust emissions meet the countries' regulations.
These revisions must be overseen by officially certified centres.
Your Authorised Service Centre can inform you about the inspections required
by law, and can check your vehicle in the course of an Inspection Service. This
will save you both time and money.
The Authorised Service Centre can also carry out the inspections required by
law at the client's request.
Even if you do not wish to take advantage of this service and decide to take
your car to an officially certified centre for this check, we recommend that you
speak to the person in charge of your Authorised Service Centre first.
This person will be able to inform you of any points that require attention so
that your car does not fail the test and have to be re-tested.Approved spare partsAll parts of your vehicle have been approved by SEAT, especially those parts
on which your safety depends. For this reason, the parts used in the
Programmed Inspection Services or in any vehicle repair must correspond
exactly to the manufacturer-defined requirements. The approved SEAT spare parts have been designed especially for your vehicle. For this reason, we
recommend that Genuine approved SEAT spares are always used.
In the Authorised SEAT Service Centres you will find the most important
approved spare parts. If in an exceptional case, the necessary parts are not in
stock, they can, in general, be obtained swiftly.
The SEAT Service Centres in the EU provide a 24 month warranty
3) for
Approved Spare parts from the date they are fitted or sold. It is therefore
advisable to retain the original invoice from the Authorised Service Centre as
proof of the existing warranty.
More information about this may be obtained from your Authorised Service
Centre.
Approved SEAT exchange partsThe approved SEAT exchange parts, conforming to the manufacturer’s
requirements, constitute an additional service at your disposal, offering you
the possibility to replace entire assemblies, the most common being: the
lightened engine, gearboxes, cylinder heads, control units, electrical
elements, etc.
Of course these are Approved parts and, as they have the same class as the
manufacturer parts, they share the same SEAT approved spare parts warranty.
However, these parts are considerably cheaper as they are factory-recondi-
tioned used parts. Keep the invoice for the approved SEAT exchange parts as
proof of the start of the existing warranty.3)The warranty is not available for all export markets. For more information, please ask
your Authorised SEAT Service Centre.
