Introduction
Always ask your dealer or specialist retailer
for advice bef
ore purchasing accessories
and replacement parts.
Your vehicle is designed to offer a high
standard of active and passive safety. For this
reason, we recommend that you ask a speci-
alised CUPRA Service or SEAT Official Serv-
ice for advice before fitting accessories or
replacement parts. Your Official Service has
the latest information from the manufacturer
and can recommend accessories and re-
placement parts which are suitable for your
requirements. They can also answer any
questions you might have regarding official
regulations.
We recommend you to use only CUPRA ac-
cessories and Genuine CUPRA parts®. Spe-
cialised CUPRA Services or SEAT Official
Services have the necessary experience and
facilities to ensure that the parts are installed
correctly and professionally.
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a di-
r
ect effect on the vehicle and/or the way it is
driven, such as a cruise control system or
electronically-controlled suspension, must
be approved for use in your vehicle and bear
the e mark (the European Union's authorisa-
tion symbol).
If any additional electrical devices are fit-
ted which do not serve to control the vehicle
itself (for instance a refrigerator box, laptop
or ventilator fan, etc.), they must bear the
sign (manufacturer conformity declaration in
the European Union).
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
Unauthorised modifications to the electron-
ic components, soft
w
are, wiring or data
transfer in the vehicle may cause malfunc-
tioning.
You will appreciate that your specialised CU-
PRA dealer or SEAT dealership cannot be
held liable for any damage caused by modifi-
cations and/or work performed incorrectly
in the vehicle.
We therefore recommend that all work
should be performed by a specialised CUPRA
Service or a SEAT Official Service using gen-
uine CUPRA® parts.
WARNING
Incorrectly performed modifications or
other work on your vehicle can lead to mal-
functions and cause accidents.
Radio telephones and office equip-
ment
Radio transmitters (fixed installation)
An
y r
etrofit installations of radio transmitters
in the vehicle require prior approval. CUPRA
generally authorises in-vehicle installations
of approved types of radio transmitters pro-
vided that:
●
The antenna is installed correctly.
●
The aerial is installed on the exterior of the
vehicle (and shielded cables are used to-
gether with non-reflective aerial trimming).
●
The effective transmitting power does not
exceed 10 Watts at the aerial base.
