Stickers and plates
Some parts in the engine compartment come
fr
om the factory with certificates of safety, la-
bels or plates containing important informa-
tion regarding the operation of the vehicle, for
example, on the fuel tank flap, on the pas-
senger's sun visor, on the driver door strut, or
on the floor of the boot.
●
Never remove these certificates of safety,
labels or plates, and ensure they are kept in
good condition and are legible.
●
If a vehicle part, bearing a certificate of
saf
ety, label or plate, is replaced, the special-
ised workshop should attach the information
back in the same place.
Certificate of safety
A certificate of safety on the door strut states
that all the safety standards and regulations
established by the national traffic authorities
responsible for road safety were met at the
time of manufacture. It may also give the
month and year of manufacture, together
with the vehicle ID number.
Warning of high voltage label
There is a label close to the bonnet lock
which warns of high voltage in the vehicle's
electrical system. The vehicle ignition system
complies with several standards, including
the Canadian standard, ICES-002.
Using the vehicle in other countries
and continents
The vehicle is manufactured at the factory for
use in a particul
ar country in accordance
with the national legislation in force at the
time of manufacture.
If the vehicle is sold in another country or
used in another country for an extended peri-
od of time, the applicable legislation of that
country should be observed.
It may be necessary to fit or remove certain
pieces of equipment or to deactivate certain
functions. Service work may also be affected.
This is particularly true if the vehicle is used in
a different climate for an extended period of
time.
As there are different types of frequency
bands around the world, you may find that
the radio or navigation system supplied at the
factory does not work in another country.
CAUTION
●
SEAT does not accept liabilit
y for any
damage to the vehicle due to the use of a
lower quality fuel, an inadequate service or
the non-availability of genuine spare parts.
●
SEAT does not accept liability if the vehi-
cle does not comply in part or in full with
the legal requirements of other countries or
continents.
