Avoid exposing leather to direct sunlight for
long periods, otherwise it may tend to lose
some of its colour. If the car is left for a pro-
longed period in the bright sun, it is best to
cover the leather.
WARNING
Do not use water-repellent coatings on the
windscreen. In bad visibility conditions such
as humid weather, darkness or when the sun
is in its lowest point, visibility may be impac-
ted. Accident hazard! Such coatings can also
cause the windscreen wiper blades to make
noise.

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 oer a high stand-
ard of active and passive safety. For this rea-
son, we recommend that you ask a specialised
CUPRA Service or SEAT Oicial Service for ad-
vice before tting accessories or replacement
parts. Your Oicial Service has the latest in-
formation from the manufacturer and can rec-
ommend accessories and replacement parts
which are suitable for your requirements. They
can also answer any questions you might have
regarding oicial regulations.
We recommend you to use only CUPRA ac-
cessories and Genuine CUPRA parts®. Spe-
cialised CUPRA Services or SEAT Oicial Serv-
ices have the necessary experience and facili-
ties to ensure that the parts are installed cor-
rectly and professionally.
Although CUPRA continuously monitors the
market, it cannot judge whether products not
authorised by CUPRA meet the vehicle’s reli-
ability, safety and suitability requirements. CU-
PRA therefore accepts no liability for these
products, even if, in certain cases, they are au-
thorised by an oicially recognised technical
inspection institute or oicial body.
Any retro-tted equipment which has a di-
rect eect 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 authorisa-
tion symbol).
If any additional electrical devices are tted
which do not serve to control the vehicle itself
(for instance a refrigerator box, laptop or venti-
lator fan, etc.), they must bear the
marking
(manufacturer conformity declaration in the
European Union).
