.
●
Place the jack* (vehicle tools) on firm
gr
ound. If necessary use a l
ar
ge, strong
board or similar support. If the surface is slip-
pery (for example tiles) place the jack on a
rubber mat or similar to prevent it from slip-
ping

port point, to raise it until tab

●
Align the jack* so that tab

“grips” onto
the housing pr
o
vided on the strut and the mo-
bil
e base

is resting on the ground. The
base pl

.
●
Continue turning the jack* until the wheel is
slightly lift
ed off the gr
ound.
WARNING
●
Make sure that the jack* r
emains stable.
If the surface is slippery or soft, the jack*
could slip or sink, respectively, with the re-
sultant risk of injury.
●
Only raise the vehicle with the jack* sup-
plied by the manufacturer. Other jacks,
even those approved for other SEAT mod-
els could slip, with the consequent risk of
injury.
●
Only mount the jack* on the support
points designed for this purpose on the
strut, and always align the jack correctly. If
you do not, the jack* could slip as it does
not have an adequate grip on the vehicle:
risk of injury!
●
The height of the parked vehicle can
change as a result of variations in tempera-
ture and loading.
CAUTION
The vehicle must not be raised on the
crossbar. Only pl
ace the jack* on the
points designed for this purpose on the
strut. Otherwise, the vehicle may be dam-
aged.
Removing and fitting a wheel
Change the wheel after loosening the wheel
bolts and raising the vehicl
e with the jack.
Taking off the wheel
●
Unscrew the wheel bolts using the box
spanner and place them on a clean surf
ace.
●
Take off the wheel.
Putting on the spare wheel
When fitting tyres with a compulsory rotation
direction, observe the instructions in
›››
page 57.
●
Mount the wheel.
●
Screw on the wheel bolts in position and
tighten them loosely with a box spanner.
●
Carefully lower the vehicle using the jack*.
●
Tighten the wheel bolts in diagonal pairs
using the wheel brace.
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn
easily. Before fitting the spare wheel, inspect
