Service information
Service type LongLife service or service dependent on time/distance travelled?
Depending on your vehicle's technical char-
acteri s
tics either the LongLife service 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
dependent on time/dis
tance travelled. Your
specialised workshop has the most recent in-
formation about the services and can advise you on the best type of service for your vehi-
cle, and if
there are any additional inspec-
tions it requires by law.
How to know which type of service your vehicle requires
LongLife Service: Service dependent on time/distance travelled:
– your vehicle has LongLife Service provided the vehicle data sticker has the PR number “QI6” (see back)
and if – your vehicle is serviced according to the time/distance travelled, provided the vehicle
data sticker has the PR number “QI1, QI2, QI3, QI4 and QI7” (see back)
, and if
– on the ››› page 7 , the LongLife Service has been marked with a cross. – On ››› page 7 , the servicing dependent on time/distance travelled is marked with
a cross.

A difference is made in SEAT between services with an engine oil change and Inspection services with no engine oil change.
The service interval display only indicates the dates of the engine oil change and inspection services.
Note
If LongLife oil is not used, the service de-
pendent on time/di s

tance travelled is ap-
plied, and the oil must be changed every
15 000 km or every year. 6

General information To ensure that you have each service carried
out on time and th
at

none are forgotten,
there is a reminder sticker on the driver side
door pillar and a reminder will also be shown
via the service interval display on the instru-
ment 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 be-
tween service intervals.
Adverse conditions include:
● the use of fuel with a high sulphur content
● frequent short journeys
● leaving the engine idling for long periods
of time (a s

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 i
s necessary to continuously brake
and start, and ●
usin
g the vehicle mainly in the winter
This particularly affects: ● the air filter
● the timing belt
● the engine oil and
● the diesel particulate filter
The servic
e advisor at your specialised work-
shop will tell you if, due to prevailing condi-
tions, your vehicle will require more frequent
work.
Your SEAT Official Service always has the lat-
est available information and will be able to
tell you if your vehicle requires any other ad-
ditional inspections established by law.
The cost of the SEAT service may vary, de-
pending on the vehicle type, equipment fit-
ted, additional work and statutory inspec-
tions. Your SEAT Official Service will tell you
how much the SEAT service will cost (labour
and parts). 10

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 de-
termined by factors such as conditions under
which the vehicle is used and personal driv-
ing 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
or every
year. This also applies if you repro-
gram the vehicle to the service dependent on
time/distance travelled Note
● In ad dition t

o the Inspection Service and
Oil Change, additional work must be carried
out which is dependent on the time/mileage.
● Your specialised workshop is informed of
the work t
o be completed during each inspec-
tion.
● We recommend that you visit a SEAT Au-
thorised Ser
vice whenever you require any
work done on your vehicle. ●

g
al Inspection Service The legal inspections must be carried out
at
the in

tervals prescribed.
Many countries have legal requirements ob-
liging owners to have their vehicle tested at
specified intervals for safety for the user and
for other traffic, as well as ensuring that vehi-
cle exhaust emissions meet the countries'
regulations. These revisions must be over-
seen by officially certified centres.
Your SEAT Official Service can advise of 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 SEAT Official Service 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 vehicle
to an officially certified centre for this check,
we recommend that you speak to the manag-
er of your SEAT Official Service 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-tes-
ted. Approved spare parts Genuine SEAT spare parts are designed for
your
v

ehicle and approved by SEAT, particu-
larly as regards safety. The workmanship,
precision of dimensions and materials of
these parts comply exactly with factory speci-
fications. Genuine SEAT spare parts have
been designed especially for your vehicle.
We therefore recommend that you always use
genuine SEAT spare parts. SEAT will not be
held responsible for the safety and reliability
of parts from other manufacturers.
At SEAT Authorised Service Partners you will
generally find the most important genuine
SEAT parts. If a part is not in stock, it can usu-
ally be obtained quickly.
SEAT Authorised Service Partners provide a
warranty for genuine SEAT parts, valid from
the date of purchase or fitting. It is therefore
advisable to retain the original receipt from
the SEAT Authorised Service Partner as proof
of the contractual warranty.
Please ask your SEAT Official Service for fur-
ther information.
The genuine SEAT spare parts warranty can
be submitted to any SEAT Official Service .Approved SEAT exchange parts The approved SEAT exchange parts, conform-
ing t
o the m
anufacturer's requirements, con-
stitute 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.
These are Approved parts and as such, share
the same approved spare parts warranty as
the manufacturer parts.
However, these parts are considerably cheap-
er as they are factory-reconditioned used
parts. Keep the invoice for the approved SEAT
exchange parts as proof of the start of the ex-
isting warranty.
More information about this may be obtained
at the SEAT Official Service.
Genuine accessories We recommend that you use only Genuine
