Advice
Snow chains
When using snow chains, applicable local
legislation and maximum permitted speed
limits must be observed.
In winter weather, snow chains not only help
to improve grip but also improve the braking
capacity.
Snow chains must only be mounted on the
front wheels, even on all-wheel drive vehi-
cles, and only with the tyre and rim combina-
tions listed below:
Tyre size Wheel rim
205/60 R16 6 1/2 J x 16 ET 33
SEAT recommends you ask a technical serv-
ice for further information on wheel, tyre and
chain sizes.
Wherever possible use fine-link chains meas-
uring less than 15 mm (37/64 inch) includ-
ing the lock.
Remove wheel hub covers and trim rings be-
fore fitting snow chains
›››
. The wheel bolts
should be covered with caps for safety rea-
sons. These are available from technical serv-
ices.
WARNING
The use of unsuitable or incorrectly fitted
chains could lead to serious accidents and
damage.
●
Always the appropriate snow chains.
●
Observe the fitting instructions provided by
the snow chain manufacturer.
●
Never exceed the maximum permitted
speeds when driving with snow chains.
CAUTION
●
Remove the snow chains to drive on roads
without snow. Otherwise they will impair
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
according to the vehicle type.
