Never apply grease or oil to wheel bolts or

Make sure the jack remains stable. If the

of causing injuries.

Never loosen the screwed joints of wheel

you must use suitable stands additionally to

Taking oꢀ the wheel

●

Unscrew the bolts with the wheel wrench and

place them on a clean surface.

Before checking tightening torque, have any

rusty wheel bolts that are dicult to screw re-

placed and clean the wheel hub threads.

Never raise the vehicle if it is tilting to one

side or the engine is running.

wheel into position.

crossbar. Place the jack only at the support

points provided on the strut and align it. Oth-

erwise, the vehicle may be damaged.

●

Screw in the wheel bolts and tighten them a

little with the wheel wrench.

Tyres with directional tread pattern have been

designed to operate best when rotating in only

one direction. An arrow on the tyre sidewall in-

dicates the direction of rotation on tyres with

directional tread. Always observe the indicated

direction of rotation in order to guarantee opti-

mum grip and help avoid aquaplaning, exces-

sive noise and wear.

external trim/door will (stepped on, ﬁtting

the jack, resting heavy objects, etc.) can

cause damage to it. SEAT accepts no re-

sponsibility for any damages caused by im-

proper use of the external trim or body.

●

Carefully lower the vehicle using the jack.

Use the wheel spanner to tighten all of the

wheel nuts clockwise. Tighten the bolts in diag-

onal pairs (not in a circle).

●

Put the caps, trim or full hubcap back on.

If the tyre is mounted in the opposite direction

of rotation, drive with extreme caution, as the

tyre is no longer being used correctly. This is

of particular importance when the road surface

is wet. Change the tyre as soon as possible or

remount it with the correct direction of rotation.

The wheel bolts should be clean and turn

easily. Before ﬁtting the spare wheel, inspect

the wheel condition and hub mounting surfa-

ces. These surfaces must be clean before ﬁtting

the wheel.

Change the wheel after loosening the wheel
