WARNING
Incorrectly securing the battery or using the
wrong b
attery can cause short-circuits, fire
and serious injuries.
Always use only maintenance free batteries
that do not run flat alone and whose proper-
ties, specifications and size correspond to
the standard battery. The specifications are
indicated on the battery case.
WARNING
A highly explosive mixture of gases is re-
lea
sed when the battery is under charge.
The batteries should be charged in a well-
ventilated room only.
Never charge a frozen or recently thawed
battery. A flat battery can also freeze at tem-
peratures close to 0°C (+32°F).
Always replace a battery which has frozen.
Battery cables not correctly connected may
cause a short circuit. Reconnect first the posi-
tive cable and then the negative cable.
CAUTION
Never dis
connect the battery if the ignition
is switched on or if the engine is running.
This could damage the electrical system or
electronic components.
Never plug accessories that supply current,
such as solar panels or a battery charger, to
the 12-volt power sockets or the cigarette
lighter. This could damage the vehicle's elec-
trical
system.
For the sake of the environment
Di
spo
se of the battery in an environment-
friendly manner. Batteries contain toxic sub-
stances such as sulphuric acid and lead.
Battery acid can contaminate the environ-
ment. If it has leaked use adequate care col-
lecting it (gloves and protective glasses), and
dispose of it correctly.

Introduction
The SEAT Alhambra is equipped as standard
with anti-pu
ncture technology tyres (Conti-
Seal). In the event of a puncture or air leak of
up to 5 mm, the tyre seals the hole with a
protective layer inside the tread.
The inclusion of this technology means that
there is no type of spare wheel included in
the vehicle's equipment.
SEAT recommend that all work on tyres and
wheels is carried out by a specialised work-
shop. These workshops have the necessary
special tools and replacement parts, trained
personnel and facilities for disposing of the
old tyres while respecting the environment.
SEAT recommends taking your car in for tech-
nical service.
WARNING
The vehicle cannot be totally controlled or
braked if
the tyres (new or used) are worn or
damaged.
Incorrect use of wheels and tyres could
make driving more dangerous and result in
serious accidents and damage.
