●

Insert the box spanner (vehicle tools) onto

the wheel bolt as far as it will go. An adapter

is required to unscrew or tighten the anti-theft

wheel bolts››› page 56.

WARNING

Make sure that the jack* remains stable.

If the surface is slippery or soft, the jack*

could slip or sink, respectively, with the re-

sultant risk of injury.

●

Turn the wheel bolt approximately one turn

to the left››› Fig. 77 (arrow). To apply the re-

quired torque, hold the wheel brace at the

end. If it is not possible to loosen a wheel bolt,

carefully apply pressure with one foot on the

end of the box spanner. Hold on to the vehicle

for support and take care not to slip.

●

Only raise the vehicle with the jack* sup-

plied by the manufacturer. Other jacks,

even those approved for other SEAT mod-

els could slip, with the consequent risk of

injury.

you do not, the jack* could slip as it does

not have an adequate grip on the vehicle:

risk of injury!

●

Place the jack* (vehicle tools) on firm

ground. If necessary use a large, strong

board or similar support. If the surface is slip-

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 fit-

Tyres with compulsory direction of

 ^{page 170.}

●

Check the tyre pressure of the newly moun-

ted tyre as soon as possible.

A directional tread pattern can be identified

by the arrows on the sidewall that point in the

direction of rotation. Always observe the di-

rection of rotation indicated when fitting the

wheel to guarantee optimum properties of

this type of tyres with regard to grip, noises,

wear and aquaplaning.

Removing and fitting a wheel

●

In vehicles fitted with a tyre pressure indica-

tor, adjust the pressure and store the reading

in the radio/Easy Connect system*

Change the wheel after loosening the wheel

bolts and raising the vehicle with the jack.

bolts checked as soon as possible with a tor-

que wrench (it should be 140 Nm). Meanwhile,

drive carefully.

●

Unscrew the wheel bolts using the box

spanner and place them on a clean surface.

Take off the wheel.

If it is absolutely necessary to fit the spare

tyre* against the direction of rotation, drive

with care as this means the tyre does not of-

fer optimum driving properties. This is of par-

ticular importance when the road surface is

wet.

●

Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as

possible.

Putting on the spare wheel

When fitting tyres with a compulsory rotation

direction, observe the instructions in

››› page 58.

To return to directional tread tires, replace the

punctured tyre as soon as possible and re-

store the obligatory direction of rotation of all

tyres.

Snow chains

●

Mount the wheel.

Screw on the wheel bolts in position and

tighten them loosely with a box spanner.

Use

●

Snow chains should only be used on the front

wheels.

●

Carefully lower the vehicle using the jack*.

The essentials

Check that they are correctly seated after

driving for a few yards; correct the position if

necessary, in accordance with the manufac-

turer's fitting instructions. Keep your speed

below 50 km/h (30 mph).

Towline anchorages

Emergency towing of the ve-

hicle

Attach the bar or rope to the towline ancho-

rages.

The towline anchorages are located under

the floor panel in the luggage compartment,

next to the vehicle tools›››

Screw the towline anchorage into the screw

connection››› Fig. 80 or››› Fig. 81 and tight-

en it with the wheel brace.

Towing

If there is a danger of being trapped despite

having mounted the chains, it is best to disa-

ble the driving wheels (ASR) in the ESC

 ^{page 86.}

›››

 ^{page 252, Switching on/off the ESC}

and ASR.

Snow chains will improve braking ability as

well as traction in winter conditions.

Tow rope or tow bar

The tow bar offers increased safety and a

lower risk of damage.

For technical reasons snow chains may only

be used with the following wheel rim/tyre

combination.

The tow rope is recommended when there is

no tow bar. It must be elastic so that it does

not damage the vehicle.

Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle

The tow rope must be taut before you drive

off.

Other dimensions do not allow chains

starting the vehicle (manual gearbox), or ac-

celerate gently (automatic gearbox).

Remove the chains when roads are free of

snow. Driving characteristics worsen, and the

wheels become damaged quickly and may

even be rendered unusable.

Driving style

Towing requires some experience, especially

when using a tow rope. Both drivers should

realise how difficult it is to tow a vehicle. Inex-

perienced drivers should not attempt to tow.
