Vehicle maintenance
If your SEAT vehicle is immobilised due to a
fault or an accident, our assistance services
will help you keep moving.
Washing the vehicle
Vehicle maintenance
The longer you take to clean the tanks, e.g.
remains of insects, bird excrements, tree resin
or anti frost salt adhered to your vehicle, the
more damage it can cause to the surface.
High temperatures, for instance strong sun-
light, further intensify the damage.
Maintenance and cleaning
Take into account that the SEAT Mobility
Service differs depending on the country in
which the vehicle was purchased. For further
information ask your SEAT dealership or the
SEAT website in your country.
Basic considerations
Regular and careful care helps to maintain
the value of your vehicle. In addition, it may
become a prerequisite to demand the war-
ranty in the event of corrosion damage and
deficiencies in the paint coat of the body-
work.
Before washing the car, soften the dirt using
plenty of water.
To remove encrusted dirt such as insects, bird
droppings or tree resin, use a lot of water and
a microfibre cloth.
Warranty
Fault-free operation warranty
Specialised workshops have the necessary
care products. Please follow the instructions
for application on the packaging.
Have the underside of the vehicle washed af-
ter the end of the anti frost salts in winter.
SEAT Authorised Services ensure the perfect
condition of new vehicles. Check the pur-
chase agreement or complementary addi-
tional documentation provided by your Tech-
nical Service to see the conditions and the

mation in this regard in your SEAT Official
Service.
High pressure cleaners
WARNING
When washing the vehicle with a high-pres-
sure cleaner, always follow the operating in-
structions for the equipment. This applies
particularly to the operating pressure and the
distance between the spraying water. Do not
aim the jet directly to the side window gas-
kets, doors, covers or the panoramic sun-
roof*; the same applies to tyres, rubber ho-
ses, soundproofing material, sensors* or
camera lenses*. Keep a distance of at least
40 cm.
