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 ocially recognised technical inspection
institute or ocial 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-

For this reason we recommend asking ocial
SEAT service centres to do any necessary work
using genuine SEAT parts®.
Accessories, spare parts

Any retro-fitted 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

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.

(manufacturer conformity declaration in the Eu-
ropean Union).
Radio telephones and oce equip-
Your vehicle is designed to oer a high standard
of active and passive safety. For this reason, we
recommend that you ask a SEAT Ocial Serv-
ice for advice before fitting accessories or re-
placement parts. Your SEAT Ocial 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
