The SEAT dealership or a specialised workshop  
records Service receipts in a central system.  
Thanks to this comprehensive documentation  
of the service history, it is possible to reproduce  
the services performed any time. SEAT recom-  
mends requesting a Service receipt after every  
service carried out containing all the services  
carried out on the system.  
The Long Life Mobility Warranty is valid until the  
next inspection. This information is documented  
in all checks performed.  
Services are classified as oil change service  
and inspection. The service interval display  
on the instrument panel display serves as a re-  
minder of the next service.  
The type and the volume of the service may  
vary from one vehicle to another. A specialised  
workshop will be able to provide specific infor-  
mation on the jobs for your vehicle.  
Depending on the features, the engine and the  
conditions of use of the car, either the Fixed  
service or the Flexible service will be applied  
for an oil change service..  
Whenever there is a new service the receipt is  
replaced with a current one.

new SEAT vehicle is automatically covered by  
Service Mobility at no additional cost.  
Service sets

works needed to ensure the safety and the  
smooth running of the vehicle (depending on  
the conditions of use and the features of the  
vehicle, such as the engine, gearbox, or oper-  
ating fluids).  
If you wish to enjoy this service after this period,  
you can extend SEAT Service Mobility as long  
as you carry out the recommended Inspection  
and Maintenance Services at a SEAT Author-  
ised Service.

Maintenance  
Washing the vehicle  
The water temperature must not exceed 60°C.  
Vehicle upkeep and clean-  
ing  
The longer you take to clean the tanks, e.g. re-  
mains of insects, bird excrements, tree resin or  
anti frost salt adhered to your vehicle, the more  
damage it can cause to the surface. High tem-  
peratures, for instance strong sunlight, further  
intensify the damage.  
Automatic car washes  
Spray the vehicle before starting the car wash.  
Basic observations  
Make sure that the windows are closed and  
the windscreen wipers are deactivated. Bear  
in mind the instructions of the car wash tunnel  
operator, especially if your vehicle has detach-  
able parts.  
Regular and careful care helps to maintain the  
value of your vehicle. In addition, it may be-  
come a prerequisite to demand the warranty  
in the event of corrosion damage and deficien-  
cies in the paint coat of the bodywork.  
Before washing the car, soften the dirt using  
plenty of water.  
Use of car washes without brushes if possible.  
To remove encrusted dirt such as insects, bird  
droppings or tree resin, use a lot of water and a  
microfibre cloth.  
Specialised workshops have the necessary  
care products. Please follow the instructions for  
application on the packaging.  
Washing by hand  
Clean your vehicle from top to bottom with a  
soft sponge or with a brush. Only use cleaning  
products that do not contain solvents.  
Have the underside of the vehicle washed after  
the end of the anti frost salts in winter.  
WARNING  
High pressure cleaning equipment  
Cleaning products and other materials  
Polishing  
used for car care can be damaging to your  
health if misused.  
When washing the vehicle with a high-pressure  
cleaner, always follow the operating instruc-  
tions for the equipment. This applies particu-  
larly to the operating pressure and the distance  
between the spraying water.  
Polishing is only necessary when the vehicle's  
paintwork has lost its gloss and cannot be re-  
stored with care products.  
Always keep care products in a safe place,  
out of the reach of children. Danger of poi-  
soning!  
Do not polish matt painted surfaces! If the  
paintwork is polished, the surface will be irrep-  
arably damaged.  
Do not point the jet directly towards the side  
windows, doors or covers; the same applies for  
the tyres, rubber hoses, damping material, sen-  
sors or camera lenses. Keep a distance of at  
least 40 cm.

Vehicle upkeepandcleaning  
Apply the product by spraying it onto the body-  
work. Work in one zone at a time and leave the  
product to act for at least 2 minutes. Wipe it  
with a microfibre cloth and avoid placing ex-  
cessive pressure on the treated area until the  
dirt is removed. Once clean, repeat the appli-  
cation of the product area by area and spread  
it until a uniform finish is achieved.

vehicle in an optimal manner and provides a  
protective layer against dirt and water.  
NOTICE  
Cleaning the exterior  
Before washing the vehicle in an automatic  
car wash, the exterior mirrors should be fol-  
ded in to prevent them from being damaged.  
The electric folding exterior mirrors should  
only be folded or unfolded electrically!  
WARNING  
Below can be found some recommendations on  
the cleaning and upkeep of individual vehicle

Technical modifications  
If you want to leave your vehicle stationary  
for a long period of time, contact a qualified  
workshop. They will gladly inform you about  
the necessary measures, such as anti-corrosion  
protection, Service and storage.  
Unauthorised modifications to the electronic  
components, software, wiring or data transfer  
in the vehicle may cause malfunctioning.  
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.  
You will appreciate that your SEAT dealership  
cannot be held liable for any damage caused  
by modifications and/or work performed incor-  
rectly.  
Also take into account the indications relat-  
ing to the vehicle’s battery ››› page 278 ,  
››› page 278, Introduction.  
For this reason we recommend asking ocial  
SEAT service centres to do any necessary work  
using genuine SEAT parts®.  
Accessories, spare parts  
and repair work  
Any retro-fitted 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).  
WARNING  
Incorrectly performed modifications or other  
work on your vehicle can lead to malfunc-  
tions and cause accidents.  
Introduction  
Always ask your dealer or specialist retailer for  
advice before purchasing accessories and re-  
placement parts.  
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).

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.
