ability and safety. SEAT Ocial Services hav
e
the necessary experience and facilities to en-
sure that the parts are installed correctly and
professionally.
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.
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
be approved for use in your vehicle and bear
the e mark (the European Union's authorisation
symbol).
If any additional electrical devices are fitted
which do not serve to control the vehicle itself
(for instance a refrigerator box, laptop or venti-
lator fan, etc.), they must bear the
marking
(manuf
acturer conformity declaration in the Eu-
ropean Union).
WARNING
Accessories, for example telephone holders
or cup hol
ders, should never be fitted on the
covers, or within the working range of the air-
bags. Otherwise, there is a danger of injury if
the airbag is triggered in an accident.
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 performed incor-
rectly.
For this reason we recommend asking ocial
SEAT service centres to do any necessary work
using genuine SEAT parts®.
WARNING
Incorrectly performed modifications or other
w
ork on your vehicle can lead to malfunc-
tions and cause accidents.
Radio telephones and oce equip-
ment
Radio transmitters (fixed installation)
Any retrofit installations of radio transmitters
in the vehicle require prior approval. SEAT gen-
erally authorises in-vehicle installations of ap-
proved types of radio transmitters provided
that:
●
The antenna is installed correctly.
●
The aerial is installed on the exterior of the
v
ehicle (and shielded cables are used together
with non-reflective aerial trimming).
●
The eective transmitting power does not ex-
ceed 10 Watts at the aerial base.
A SEAT Ocial 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 equip-
ment might interfere with the electronics 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 external
aerial ›››
.
Pl
ease 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 equip-
ment in the vehicle is permitted, provided the
equipment cannot interfere with the driver's im-
