Introduction
WARNING
The use of spare parts and accessories, or in-
correctly
performed modifications or repairs
may result in damage to the vehicle, acci-
dents and serious injury.
●
SEAT strongly recommends you to only use
SEAT approved accessories and SEAT
®
origi-
nal spare parts. These parts and accessories
have been specially tested by SEAT for suita-
bility, reliability and safety.
●
Have any repairs or modifications carried
out at a specialised workshop. These work-
shops have the necessary tools, diagnostics
equipment, repair information and qualified
personnel.
●
Only mount parts with the same specifica-
tions as the parts fitted at factory.
●
Never mount, fasten or fit objects such as
drink holders or telephone cradles over the
covers of the airbag modules or within their
deployment zones.
●
Only u
se wheels and tyre combinations
which have been approved by SEAT for your
vehicle type.
Accessories and spare parts
SEAT recommends you consult an Official
Servic
e before purchasing accessories and
spare parts or consumables. For example,
when fitting accessories at a later date, or
when replacing a component. A SEAT Official
Service will advise you as to the legal require-
ments and manufacturer's recommendations
regarding accessories, spare parts and other
components.
SEAT recommend you use only approved
SEAT accessories and genuine SEAT spare
parts
®
. These parts and accessories have
been specially tested by SEAT for suitability,
reliability and safety. In addition, SEAT tech-
nical services will guarantee that assembly is
performed professionally.
Although we continually monitor the market,
SEAT cannot guarantee that products not ap-
proved by SEAT are reliable, safe or suitable
for the vehicle. Therefore, SEAT cannot accept
liability, even in those cases authorised by
an officially recognised technical inspection
office or other official body.
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a direct
effect on vehicle control must be approved by
SEAT for use in your vehicle and bear the e
mark (the E
uropean Union's authorisation
symbol). This includes cruise control systems
or electronically controlled suspension.
If any additional electrical devices are fitted
which do not serve to control the vehicle it-
self, these must bear the mark (European
Union manufacturer conformity declaration).
This includes refrigerator boxes, laptops or
ventilator fans.
WARNING
Unprofessional repairs or modifications to
the vehic
le may affect the performance of the
airbags, and may cause operating faults or fa-
tal accidents.
●
Never mount, fasten or fit objects such as
drink holders or telephone cradles over or
next to the covers of the airbag modules or
within their deployment zones.
●
Objects placed over the airbag covers, or
within their deployment zones, could lead to
serious injury or loss of life if the airbags are
triggered.
