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 oer a high standard
of active and passive safety. For this reason, we
recommend that you ask a SEAT Ocial Serv-
ice for advice before fitting accessories or re-
placement parts. Your SEAT Ocial Service has
the latest information from the manufacturer
and can recommend accessories and replace-
ment parts which are suitable for your require-
ments. They can also answer any questions
you might have regarding ocial regulations.
We recommend only using SEAT accessories
and genuine SEAT parts®. SEAT has tested
these parts and accessories for suitability, reli-
ability and safety. SEAT Ocial Services have
the necessary experience and facilities to en-
sure that the parts are installed correctly and
professionally.
Although SEAT continuously monitors the mar-
ket, it cannot judge whether products not au-
thorised by SEAT meet the vehicle’s reliability,
safety and suitability requirements. SEAT there-
fore accepts no liability for these products,
even if, in certain cases, they are authorised
by an ocially recognised technical inspection
institute or ocial body.
Any retrofitted equipment which has a di-
rect eect 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 authorisation
symbol).
If any additional electrical devices are fitted
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 Eu-
ropean Union).
WARNING
Accessories, for example telephone holders
or drink holders, should never be fitted on
the covers, or inside the operating range of
the airbags. Otherwise, there is a danger of
injury if the airbag is triggered in an accident.
Technical modifications
Unauthorised modifications to the electronic
components, software, wiring or data transfer
in the vehicle may cause malfunctioning.
We request your understanding that your SEAT
dealership cannot be held liable for any dam-
age caused by modifications and/or work per-
formed incorrectly.
For this reason we recommend asking SEAT of-
ficial service centres to do any necessary work
using genuine SEAT parts®.
WARNING
Incorrectly performed modifications or other
work on your vehicle can lead to malfunc-
tions and cause accidents.
