Accessories, parts replacement and modifications286
x Never mount, fasten or fit objects such as drink holders or telephone
cradles over the covers of the airbag modules or within their radius of
action.
x Objects placed over the airbag covers, or within their radius of action,
could lead to serious injury or loss of life if the airbags are triggered.
Fluids and consumables
All vehicle fluids and consumables, such as notched belts, tyres, coolant
fluids, engine oils, spark plugs and batteries are continually being devel-
oped. Therefore all fluids and consumables should be changed at a qualified
workshop. Qualified workshops are permanently informed of any modifica-
tions.
WARNING
The incorrect use or handling of fluids or consumables may result in acci-
dent, serious injury, burns or intoxication.
x Therefore, fluids must always be stored closed in their original
container.
x Never store fluids in empty food containers or bottles as other people
may accidentally drink the fluid.
x Keep all fluids and consumables out of reach of children.
x Read and observe the information and warnings given on the fluid
containers.
x Only work in the open air or in well-ventilated zones, when using prod-
ucts which give off harmful vapours.
x Never use fuel, turpentine, engine oil, acetone or any other volatile
liquid in the maintenance of the vehicle. These are toxic and highly flam-
mable. They could lead to fire or explosions!
Caution
x Only use appropriate fluids. Never mix the fluids. Failure to observe this
point will result in serious malfunctions and engine damage!
x Accessories and other components mounted in front of the air inlet
reduce the cooling effect of the coolant. If the engine is running under great
strain in high outside temperatures, it could overheat.
For the sake of the environment
Leaking fluids could pollute the environment. Collect any spilt fluids in suit-
able containers and dispose of in accordance with legislation and with
respect for the environment.
Repairs and technical changes
When performing repairs and technical modifications, SEAT's directives
must be observed!
Unauthorised modifications to the electronic components or software in the
vehicle may cause malfunctions. Due to the way the electronic components
are linked together in networks, other indirect systems may be affected by the
faults. This may significantly affect the vehicle's performance, increase
component wear and could mean that the vehicle registration documents are
no longer valid.
Your Technical Service cannot be held liable for any damage caused by tech-
nical modifications or repairs performed incorrectly.
