TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
General notes
•
During the running in period you
should avoid towing a trailer if possi-
ble.
•
It is advisable to have the vehicle
serviced between the Inspection
intervals if it is used frequently for
towing a trailer.
•
The trailer and drawbar load figures on
the data plate of the towing bracket are
for test certification only. The correct fig-
ures for the vehicle, which may be lower
than the above figures, are given in the
vehicle documents and in this manual.
•
When using the towing device the car’s
empty weight is reduced, and as a result
its effective load is decreased.
•
Observe all statutory requirements
regarding the use of a trailer.
If the vehicle is to be taken abroad, the
following must also be borne in mind:
•
If the vehicle has a petrol engine and
catalytic converter, one must ensure that
unleaded petrol will be available during
the journey. See the "Filling the tank"
chapter. The automobile clubs offer infor-
mation about the unleaded filling station
network.
•
Although there are more than 3,000
SEAT dealers all over the world to service
SEAT vehicles there are countries in which
only a limited amount of service is avail-
able or none at all.
•
In certain countries it is also possible
that your vehicle model is not sold so that
certain spare parts will not be available or
that the SEAT personnel are not familiar
with the repair procedure should anything
go wrong or may only be able to carry out
limited repairs.
The SEAT dealers or the Importer con-
cerned will be only too pleased to give
advice on the necessary technical prepa-
ration of the vehicle, on the maintenance
required and on the repair possibilities.
The addresses are included in the SEAT
International Assistance Guide in the
vehicle wallet.
