Practical tips
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a di-
rect effect 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 authorisa-
tion symbol).
Care and maintenance
Accessories and modifica-
tions to the vehicle
You will appreciate that your SEAT dealership
cannot be held liable for any damage
caused by modifications and/or work per-
formed incorrectly.
Accessories, replacement parts
and repair work
If any additional electrical devices are fit-
ted which do not serve to control the vehicle
itself (for instance a refrigerator box, laptop
or ventilator fan, etc.), they must bear the
sign (manufacturer conformity declaration in
the European Union).
We therefore recommend that all work should
be performed by a SEAT Official Service us-
ing genuine SEAT parts®.
Always ask your dealer or specialist retailer
for advice before purchasing accessories
and replacement parts.
WARNING
Incorrectly performed modifications or
other work on your vehicle can lead to mal-
functions and cause accidents.
Your vehicle is designed to offer a high stand-
ard of active and passive safety. For this rea-
son, we recommend that you ask a SEAT Offi-

ries or replacement parts. Your SEAT Official
Service has the latest information from the
manufacturer and can recommend accesso-
ries and replacement parts which are suita-
ble for your requirements. They can also an-
swer any questions you might have regarding
official regulations.
WARNING
Accessories, for example telephone hold-
ers or cup holders, should never be fitted
on the covers, or within the working range
of the airbags. Otherwise, there is a danger
of injury if the airbag is triggered in an acci-
dent.
