Advice
–
Adjust the jack so that its claw surrounds
the jacking point on the door sill ››› Fig. 126
- B underneath the stamp on the door sill.
–
Make sure that the base of the jack is en-
tirely supported on a flat surface and that it
is vertical ››› Fig. 126
to the point where the
c
l
aw surrounds the jacking point on the
door sill.
–
Continue to wind up the jack using the
crank handle until the defective wheel is
clear off the ground.
Anti-theft wheel bolts*
Fig. 127 Anti-theft wheel bolt with adapter.
On vehicles fitted with anti-theft wheel bolts
(one bolt per wheel) these bolts can only be
loosened or tightened using a factory-sup-
plied adapter.
–
Pull off the hub cap or bolt cover.
–
Insert the adapter
B
››› Fig. 127
with its
t
oothed s
ide as far as it will go on the inte-
rior toothing of the anti-theft wheel bolt
A
so that only the outer hexagonal is protrud-
ing.
–
Fit the box spanner as far as it will go over
adapter
B
.
–
Loosen or firmly tighten the wheel bolt
››› page 152
.
–
Af
t
er removing the adapter, replace the hub
cap or the anti-theft wheel bolt cover.
–
Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts checked as soon as possible with a
torque wrench.
Note down the code number stamped on the
front of the adapter or on the front of the anti-
theft wheel bolt. You will need this number to
obtain a spare adapter from the SEAT original
accessories programme.
We recommend you always carry the wheel
bolt adapter in the vehicle. It should be stor-
ed in the vehicle tool kit.
Tyre repairs
TMS (Tyre Mobility System)*
The Tyre Mobility System is stored in a box
under the carpet in the boot.
Using the Tyre Mobility System you can relia-
bly seal tyres damaged by foreign bodies,
provided that cuts or punctures are no larger
than approx. 4 mm in diameter. Do not re-
move the foreign bodies, e.g. bolts or nails,
from the tyre!
The tyre must be repaired immediately.
The repair made using the Tyre Mobility Sys-
tem
under no circumstances replaces perm
a-
nent
tyre repair and should only be used to
drive to the nearest official service.
The Tyre Mobility System kit shall not be
used:
●
If the wheel rim has been damaged,
●
when the outside temperature is below
-20 °C (-4 °F),
●
on slashes or punctures larger than 4 mm,
●
if the sidewall of the wheel has been dam-
aged,
●
If you have been driving with very low tyre
pressure or a completely flat tyre
●
If the best-before date on the air can has
expired
WARNING
Read and observe the safety warnings ››› in
Introduction on page 150.
●
A tyr
e filled with sealant does not have the
same performance properties as a conven-
tional tyre.
