Wheels
WARNING
Exceeding the maximum speed permitted
f
or the winter tyres fitted on your car can
cause tyre failure, resulting in a loss of con-
trol of the vehicle – risk of accident.
For the sake of the environment
When winter is over, change back to sum-
mer t
yres at an appropriate moment. In
temperatures above +7°C (+45°F), perform-
ance will be improved if summer tyres are
used. Fuel consumption, wear and noises
while driving will all be reduced.
Note
All-weather tyres can also be used instead
of wint
er tyres. Please note that only winter
tyres with the symbol may be fitted in
some countries where winter tyres are
mandatory.
Snow chains
Snow chains must only be fitted t
o the front
wheels, even on vehicles with four-wheel
drive.
●
Check that they are correctly seated after
driving for a few yards; correct the position if
necessary, in accordance with the manufac-
turer's fitting instructions.
●
Keep your speed below 50 km/h (30 mph).
●
If there is a danger of being trapped de-
spite having mounted the chains, it is best to
disable the driving wheels (ASR) in the ESC
›››
page 287, Connecting and disconnect-
ing the ASR.
Snow chains will improve braking ability as
well as traction in winter conditions.
For technical reasons snow chains may only
be used with the following wheel rim/tyre
combination.
Tyres Wheel rim Chains
205/60 R16 6.5Jx16 ET33 Max. link 15 mm
Other dimensions do not allow chains
Remove any central wheel trims and the rim
ring bef
ore fitting snow chains.
WARNING
The use of unsuitable or incorrectly fitted
chains coul
d 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
●
R
emove the snow chains to drive on
roads without snow. Otherwise they will im-
pair vehicle handling, damage the tyres
and wear out very quickly.
●
Wheel rims may be damaged or scratch-
ed if the chains come into direct contact
with them. SEAT recommends the use of
covered snow chains.

Control lamp
Blinks or lights up
The tyre pressure of a wheel has dropped considera-
bly compar
ed to the pressure set by the driver.
Stop the vehicle! Stop the vehicle safely as soon
as possible. Avoid sudden manoeuvres and braking!
Check all tyres and pressures. Replace any dam-
aged tyres.
System fault
Consult a specialised w
orkshop if the tyre pressure is
correct and the lamp remains lit after switching the
ignition off and back on again.
Several control and warning lamps light up
f
or a few seconds when the ignition is switch-
ed on while the function is verified. They will
switch off after a few seconds.
