and modifications
Your vehicle is designed to offer a high stand-
ard of active and passive safety.
Before purchasing accessories and parts,
and before making technical changes to your
vehicle, we recommend that you consult your
Technical Service.
SEAT dealerships will be happy to provide
you with the latest information about the use,
legal requirements and recommendations
from the manufacturer regarding accessories
and spare parts.
We recommend you use only SEAT Ap-
proved Accessories ® and SEAT Approved
Spare Parts ® . This way, SEAT can guarantee
that the product in question is suitable, relia-
ble and safe. SEAT Technical Services have
the necessary experience and facilities to en-
sure that parts are correctly and professio-
nally installed.
Despite a continuous observation of the mar-
ket, SEAT is not able to assess the reliability,
safety and suitability of parts that
SEAT has
not approved . For this reason, SEAT cannot
assume responsibility for any non-genuine
parts used, even if these parts have been ap-
proved by an official testing agency or are
covered by an official approval certificate.
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a di-
rect impact on the driver's control of the vehi-
cle, such as a cruise control system or elec-
tronically-controlled suspension, must be ap-
proved by SEAT for use in your vehicle and
bear the
e mark (the European Union's au-
thorisation symbol).
If any additional electrical devices are fit-
ted which do not serve to control the vehicle
itself, such as refrigerator boxes, laptops or
ventilator fans, they must bear the
CE mark
(European Union manufacturer conformity
declaration).
WARNING
Accessories, for example telephone hold-
ers or cup holders, should never be fitted
on the covers, or within the working range,
of the airbags. Otherwise, there is a danger
of injury if the airbag is triggered in an acci-
dent.
Technical modifications
Modifications must always be carried out ac-
cording to our specifications. Unauthorised
modifications to the electronic components
or software in the vehicle may cause mal-
functions. Due to the way the electronic com-
ponents are linked together in networks, other
indirect systems may be affected by the
faults. This can seriously impair safety, lead
to excessive wear of components, and also
invalidate your vehicle registration docu-
ments.
SEAT Technical Services cannot be held lia-
ble for any damage caused by modifications
and/or work incorrectly performed. For this
reason, we recommend having all work per-
formed by a SEAT Technical Service using
SEAT
®
Original Spare Parts.
WARNING
Any type of work or modification performed
incorrectly on your vehicle can lead to mal-
functions and can cause accidents.
Radio transmitters and office
equipment
Radio transmitters (fixed installation)
Any retrofit installations of radio transmitters
in the vehicle require prior approval. SEAT
