Always consult an Authorised Service Centre before

purchasing accessories and parts.

WARNING

Accessories, for example telephone holders or drink holders, should never

be fitted on the covers of, or within the working range of, the airbags. If

they are, there is a danger of resulting injury if the airbag is triggered in an

accident.

Your vehicle is designed to offer a high standard of active and passive safety.

Before purchasing accessories and parts, and before making technical

changes to your car, we recommend that you consult your Authorised Service

Centre.

SEAT dealerships will be happy to provide you with the latest information

about the use, legal requirements and recommendations from the manufac-

turer regarding accessories and parts.

Modifications

We recommend you use only SEAT Approved Accessories and SEAT

Modifications must always be carried out according to our

specifications.

Approved Spare Parts . This way, SEAT can guarantee that the product in

question is suitable, reliable and safe. Authorised Service Centres have the

necessary experience and facilities to ensure that parts are installed correctly

and professionally.

Unauthorised modifications to the electronic components or software in the

vehicle may cause malfunctions. Due to the way the electronic components

are linked together in networks, other systems may be affected by the faults.

This can seriously impair safety, lead to excessive wear of components, and

also invalidate your vehicle registration documents.

Despite continuous observation of the market, SEAT is not able to assess the

reliability, safety and suitability of parts not approved by SEAT. For this reason

SEAT cannot assume responsibility for any non-genuine parts used, even if

these parts have been approved by an official testing agency or are covered

by an official approval certificate.

SEAT Authorised Service Centres cannot be held liable for any damage

caused by modifications and/or work performed incorrectly.

Any equipment subsequently installed which has a direct effect on the

vehicle and/or the way it is driven (e.g. cruise control system or electronically-

controlled suspension) must be approved by SEAT for use in your vehicle and

bear the e mark (the European Union's authorisation symbol).

For this reason, all work should be performed by an Authorised Service Centre

using genuine SEAT parts

If any additional electrical components are fitted which do not serve to

control the vehicle itself (for instance a refrigerator box, laptop or ventilator
