The essentials
CAUTION
●
Remov
e the snow chains to drive on roads
without snow. Otherwise they will impair
vehicle handling, damage the tyres and wear
out very quickly.
●
Wheel rims may be damaged or scratched if
the chains come into direct contact with
them. SEAT recommends the use of covered
snow chains.
Note
Snow chains are available in different sizes
accor
ding to the vehicle type.

Screw the front towline anchorage into the
screw connection ››› Fig. 58 and tighten it
with the wheel brace.
Tow rope or tow bar
When towing, the tow bar is the safest and
vehicle friendly way. You should only use a
tow rope if you do not have a tow bar.
A tow rope should be slightly elastic to avoid
damage to both vehicles. It is advisable to
use a tow rope made of synthetic fibre or sim-
ilarly elastic material.
●
Only secure the tow rope or tow bar to the
towline anchorage or specially designed fit-
ting.
Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle
●
Keep the ignition running to prevent the
steering wheel from locking and also to allow
the use of the turn signals, horn, windscreen
wipers and washers.
●
As the power assisted steering does not
work if the engine is not running, you will
need more strength to steer than normally.
●
The brake must be depressed much harder
as the brake servo does not operate. Avoid
hitting the towing vehicle.
●
Note the instructions and information con-
tained in the Instruction Manual for the vehi-
cle to be towed.
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
●
Accelerate gently and carefully. Avoid sud-
den manoeuvres.
●
Brake well in advance than usual and brake
gently.
●
Note the instructions and information con-
tained in the Ins
truction Manual for the vehi-
cle to be towed.
