distance. Observe applicable local legal regu-
lations.
This is for your own safety and that of
other drivers.
●
If you have a flat tyre, stop the vehicle as
far away as possible from moving traffic. Stop
on flat, solid ground.
●
If you have to change the tyre on a gradi-
ent, block the wheel opposite the wheel be-
ing changed by placing a stone or similar ob-
ject under it to prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing away unexpectedly.
●
If the vehicle has been fitted with tyres or
alloys that are different to those fitted in
manufacture, the instructions ››› page 219,
New tyres or wheels must be followed.
●
Always raise the vehicle with the doors
closed.
●
Never place parts of your body, e.g. arms
and legs, underneath the vehicle when it is
supported only by the jack.
●
Secure the base of the jack with suitable
supports so that it cannot slip. The jack could
slide if the ground below it is soft and slip-
pery and the vehicle could slip off it. There-
fore, place the jack on a firm surface or use a
large, stable base. On a slippery surface, e.g.
tile, use a non-slip base such as a rubber
mat.
●
Never start the engine when the vehicle is
jacked. Risk of injury.
●
The jack should only be used in the correct
jacking points.
CAUTION
●
The pres
cribed tightening torque for wheel
bolts on steel and alloy wheels is 120 Nm.
●
If the anti-theft wheel bolt is overly tight-
ened, this could damage the bolt and the
adapter.
Note
●
The set of anti-thef
t wheel bolts or the
adapter are available from authorised SEAT
dealers.
●
Please observe the relevant local legal reg-
ulations when changing the wheel.
Wheel bolts
The wheel
bolts ar
e m
atched to the rims.
When installing different wheels, e.g. to fit
light alloy wheels or wheels with winter tyres,
it is important to use the correct wheel bolts
with the right length and correctly shaped
bolt heads. This is essential for a secure fit of
the wheels and for proper operation of the
brake system.
Note
●
Never gre
ase or oil the wheel bolts!
●
If the wheel bolt is very tight, it may be
possible to loosen it by pushing down the
end of the box spanner carefully with your
foot. Hold on to the vehicle for support and
take c
are not to slip.
●
If you notice that the wheel bolts are rusty
and difficult to turn when changing a wheel,
they must be replaced before having the
tightening torque checked.

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 perma-
nent tyre repair and should only be used to
drive to the nearest official service.
