Introduction
Incorrectly performed modifications or
other work on your vehicle can lead to mal-
functions and cause accidents.
Always ask your dealer or specialist retailer
for advice before purchasing accessories
and replacement parts.
Your vehicle is designed to offer a high
standard of active and passive safety. For this
reason, we recommend that you ask a speci-
alised CUPRA Service or SEAT Official Serv-
ice for advice before fitting accessories or
replacement parts. Your Official Service has
the latest information from the manufacturer
and can recommend accessories and re-
placement parts which are suitable for your
requirements. They can also answer any
questions you might have regarding official
regulations.

WARNING
Accessories, for example telephone hold-
