Service intervals

Service work and the Digital Main-
tenance Plan

Log of services performed (“Digital Main-
tenance Plan”)

The SEAT dealership or a specialised work-
shop records Service receipts in a central
system. Thanks to this comprehensive docu-
mentation of the service history, it is possible
to reproduce the services performed any
time. SEAT recommends requesting a Service
receipt after every service carried out con-
taining all the services carried out on the sys-
tem.

Whenever there is a new service the receipt is
replaced with a current one.

The Digital Maintenance Plan is not avail-
able in some markets. In this case, your
SEAT dealer will inform you about the cur-
rent documentation of the work.

Service works

In the Digital Maintenance Plan, your SEAT
authorised service or specialised workshop
documents the following information:

●

When each one of the services was carried

out.

●

Whether a specific repair has been sugges-

ted, e.g. changing the brake pads in the near
future.

●

If you have expressed a special request for

the maintenance. Your Service Advisor will
write the work order.

●

The components or fluids that were

changed.

●

The date of the next service.

The Long Life Mobility Warranty is valid until
the next inspection. This information is docu-
mented in all checks performed.

The type and the volume of the service may
vary from one vehicle to another. A special-
ised workshop will be able to provide specific
information on the jobs for your vehicle.

WARNING

If the services are insufficient or not per-
formed and if the service intervals are not
observed, the vehicle may be immobilised
in traffic cause an accident and severe in-
juries.

●

Make sure that any repairs are carried

out by a SEAT authorised service or speci-
alised workshop.

CAUTION

SEAT cannot be held liable for any damage
to the vehicle due to insufficient work or of
lack of availability of spare parts.

Note

Regular services on the vehicle not only
maintain its value, but also its correct oper-
ation and road safety. For this reason, con-
duct the services in accordance with SEAT
guidelines.

Set Service or Flexible Service In-
tervals

Services are classified as

Particular characteristics of the Flexible
Service

Regarding the

Flexible Service

, the oil

change service only has to be performed
when the vehicle needs it. To calculate when

you have to carry out this service, take into
account the individual conditions of use and
personal driving style. A major component of
the flexible service the use of LongLife oil in-
stead of conventional engine oil.

Bear in mind the information about the speci-
fications of the engine oil according to the
VW standard

Vehicle maintenance

Maintenance and cleaning

Basic observations

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.

Specialised workshops have the necessary
care products. Please follow the instructions
for application on the packaging.

WARNING

●

Cleaning products and other materials

used for car care can be damaging to your
health if misused.

●

Always keep care products in a safe

place, out of the reach of children. Danger
of poisoning!

For the sake of the environment

●

When purchasing car care products,

chose products that are compatible with
the environment.

●

The waste from car-care products should

not be disposed of with ordinary household
waste.

Washing the vehicle

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.

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.

Have the underside of the vehicle washed af-
ter the end of the anti frost salts in winter.

High pressure cleaning equipment

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 sunroof;
the same applies to tyres, rubber hoses,
soundproofing material, sensors or camera
lenses. Keep a distance of at least 40 cm.

Do not remove snow and ice with a high-
pressure cleaner.

335

Maintenance

Do not use a nozzle that sprays the water out
in a direct stream or one that has a rotating
jet for forcing off dirt.

The water temperature must not exceed
60°C.

Automatic car washes

Spray the vehicle before starting the car
wash.

Make sure that the windows and the panor-
amic sunroof are closed and the windscreen
wipers are deactivated. Bear in mind the in-
structions of the car wash tunnel operator,
especially if your vehicle has detachable
parts.

Use of car washes without brushes if possible.

Washing by hand

Clean your vehicle from top to bottom with a
soft sponge or with a brush. Only use clean-
ing products that do not contain solvents.

Washing vehicles with a matte paint by
hand

To prevent damage to the vehicle when
washing it, first remove the thicker dust and
dirt. To remove traces of insects, grease and
fingerprints, it is best to use a special cleaner
for matte paint.

Apply the product with a microfibre cloth. To
avoid damaging the surface of the paint, do
not apply too much pressure.

Rinse with plenty of water. Then clean it with
a neutral cleaning product and a soft microfi-
bre cloth.

Rinse the vehicle again with plenty of water
and then leave it to dry. Remove traces of
water with a leather cloth.

WARNING

●

Only wash the vehicle with the ignition

switched off or according to the specifica-
tions of the car wash tunnel operator. Risk
of accident!

●

When cleaning the underbody or the in-

side of the wheel arches, protect yourself
from sharp or pointy metal parts. Risk of
cut!

●

After cleaning the brakes could act more

slowly due to moisture or, in winter, the ice
on the brake discs and pads. Risk of acci-
dent! In this case the brakes should be
dried by pressing the brake pedal several
times.

CAUTION

●

Before washing the vehicle in an auto-

matic car wash, please make sure to re-
tract the exterior mirrors to prevent them
from being damaged. Electric exterior rear-

view mirrors must always be folded/de-
ployed electrically!

●

Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.

Risk of damaging the paint job!

●

Do not use sponges, abrasive household

sponges or similar to clean insect remains.
Risk of damaging the surface!

●

Vehicle parts with matte paint:

–

Do not use polish or hard wax. Risk of
damaging the surface!

–

Never select washing programs that in-
clude the use of wax. This could dam-
age the appearance of matte paint.

–

Do not put stickers or magnets on parts
with matte paint, as removing them
may damage the paint.

For the sake of the environment

The car should only be washed in special
wash bays. These places are prepared to
prevent oily water from getting into the
public drains.

repair work

Introduction

Always ask your dealer or specialist retailer
for advice before purchasing accessories
and replacement parts.

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-
cial Service for advice before fitting accesso-
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.

We recommend only using

SEAT accesso-

ries

and

genuine SEAT parts®

. SEAT has

tested these parts and accessories for suita-
bility, reliability and safety. SEAT Official
Services have the necessary experience and
facilities to ensure that the parts are installed
correctly and professionally.

340

Accessories and modifications to the vehicle

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

electronically-controlled suspension

, must

be approved for use in your vehicle and bear
the

mark (the European Union's authorisa-

tion symbol).

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).

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.

Technical modifications

Unauthorised modifications to the electronic
components, software, wiring or data transfer
in the vehicle may cause malfunctioning.

You will appreciate that your SEAT dealership
cannot be held liable for any damage
caused by modifications and/or work per-
formed incorrectly.

For this reason we recommend asking official
SEAT service centres to do any necessary
work using

genuine SEAT parts®

WARNING

Incorrectly performed modifications or
other work on your vehicle can lead to mal-
functions and cause accidents.

Radio telephones and office equip-
ment

Radio transmitters (fixed installation)

Any retrofit installations of radio transmitters
in the vehicle require prior approval. SEAT
generally authorises in-vehicle installations
of approved types of radio transmitters provi-
ded that:

●

The antenna is installed correctly.

●

The aerial is installed on the exterior of the

vehicle (and shielded cables are used to-
gether with non-reflective aerial trimming).

●

The effective transmitting power does not

exceed 10 Watts at the aerial base.

A SEAT Official Service and specialised work-
shop will be able to inform you about options
for installing and operating radio transmitters
with a

higher

transmitting power.

Mobile radio transmitters

Commercial mobile telephones or radio
equipment might interfere with the electron-
ics of your vehicle and cause malfunctions.
This may be due to:

●

No external aerial.

●

External aerial incorrectly installed.

●

Transmitting power more than 10 W.

You must, therefore, do not operate portable
mobile telephones or radio equipment

inside

the vehicle

without a properly installed exter-

nal aerial

›››

Please note also that the maximum range of
the equipment can only be achieved with an

external

aerial.

Business equipment

Retrofit installation of business or private
equipment in the vehicle is permitted, provi-
ded the equipment cannot interfere with the
driver's immediate control of the vehicle and
that any such equipment carries the



mark.

Any retrofit equipment that could influence
the driver's control of the vehicle must have a
type approval for your vehicle and must carry
the

mark.

WARNING

Mobile telephones or radio equipment
which is operated inside the vehicle without

Information for the user

Information for the user

Information stored by the
control units

Storage of accident data (Event
Data Recorder)

Your vehicle has an event data recorder
(EDR).

The EDR’s function is to record data in the
event of a mild or serious accident. These da-
ta are used to support the analysis of how dif-
ferent vehicle systems behaved.

The EDR records, over a reduced time range
(normally 10 seconds or less), dynamic driv-
ing data and data from the restraint systems,
such as:

●

How different vehicle systems worked.

●

Whether the driver and the occupants were

wearing their seat belts.

●

How hard the acceleration or brake pedal

was pressed.

●

Vehicle speed.

●

GPS position.

These data will provide a better understand-
ing of the circumstances of the accident.

Data from the driving assist systems are also
recorded. This includes data such as whether
the systems were inactive or active and if
such action had an impact on the vehicle’s
dynamic behaviour, changing its path in the
aforementioned situations, accelerating or
decelerating the vehicle.

Depending on vehicle equipment, this in-
cludes data from systems such as:

●

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

●

Emergency brake assistance system (Front

Assist).

●

Park Pilot system

●

Parking aid system (Park Assist).

●

Lane Assist

The EDR data are only recorded in specific
accident situations. No data are recorded in
normal driving conditions.

No audio or video data inside or around the
vehicle are recorded. Under no circumstan-
ces are personal data such as name, age, or
gender recorded. Nevertheless, third parties
(such as criminal proceedings authorities)
may relate the contents of the EDR data to
other data sources and create a personal
reference in the context of an accident inves-
tigation.

In order to read the EDR data it is necessary
to access (if legally permitted to do so) the
vehicle's ODB (“On-Board-Diagnose”) inter-
face while the vehicle is switched on.

SEAT will not have access to EDR data unless
the owner (or, in “Leasing” cases, the lessee
or hirer) gives their consent. There may be ex-
ceptions to this, depending on legal or con-
tractual provisions.

Due to legal requirements in safety-related
products, SEAT may use the EDR data for
field research and in order to improve vehicle
system quality. Any data used for the purpo-
ses of research will be treated anonymously
(in other words, no reference will be made to
the vehicle, their owner or the lessee/hirer).
