Repairs and malfunctions in the
airbag system
When performing repairs and technical
modifications, SEAT's directives must be
observ
ed!
›››
Modifications and repairs to the front bumper,
doors, fr
ont seats, and r
epairs t
o the roof or
chassis should only be carried out in a speci-
alised workshop. These components may
contain parts or sensors belonging to the air-
bag system.
If work is carried out on the airbag system or
parts have to be removed and fitted on the
system when performing other repair work,
parts of the airbag system may be damaged.
The consequence may be that, in the event
of an accident, the airbag inflates incorrectly
or does not inflate at all.
So that the effectiveness of the airbag is not
reduced and that removed parts do not
cause any injuries or environmental pollution,
regulations must be observed. These require-
ments are known to specialised workshops.
Modifications to the vehicle suspension may
affect the operation of the airbag system in
the event of collision. For example, if wheel
and tyre combinations not approved by SEAT
are used, or if the vehicle height is lowered,
the suspension is stiffened or the suspension
springs, telescopic arms, dampers, etc., are
modified, the results received by the airbag
sensors and sent to the control unit may not
be accurate. For example, some modifica-
tions to the suspension could increase the
force measured by the sensors and result in
the triggering of the airbag systems in colli-
sions. Under normal conditions, the measured
values would be lower and the airbag would
not have been triggered. Other modifications
may reduce the forces measured by the sen-
sors and prevent the airbags from being trig-
gered when they should.
WARNING
Repairs or modifications which are not per-
formed correctly may r
esult in damage or
errors in the vehicle operation, affecting
the effectiveness of the airbag systems.
This could result in serious or fatal acci-
dents.
●
All repairs and modifications to the vehi-
cle should only be performed by a special-
ised workshop.
●
Airbag modules must never be repaired:
they have to be replaced.
●
Never fit r
ecycled or reused airbag com-
ponents in your vehicle.
WARNING
Modifications to the vehicle suspension, in-
cluding the use of unauthorised wheel and
t
yre combinations, may aff
ect the perform-
ance of the airbags and increase the risk of
serious or fatal injury in the event of acci-
dent.
●
Never fit suspension components which
are not identical to the original parts in the
vehicle.
●
Never use wheel and tyre combinations
not approved by SEAT.
Retrofitting of mobile phones
An exterior aerial is required for the use of
tw

ay r
adios in the vehicle.
The retro-fitting of electrical or electronic ap-
pliances in the vehicle is subject to their ap-
proval for use in your vehicle. Under certain
circumstances, this could mean that your ve-
hicle registration documents are no longer
valid.
SEAT has approved your vehicle for use with
two-way radios providing the following con-
