used. Rolling noise, wear and energy con-
sumption will all be r
educed.
Snow chains
Snow chains should only be used on the
fr
ont wheels.
●
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).
Sno
w 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.
165/70 R14
Chains with links of maximum 15 mm
175/65 R14
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.
●
Observ
e 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.

Tyre pressure monitor system
Fig. 171
In the glove box: tyre pressure loss in-
dicat
or button.
The tyre pressure loss indicator compares the
r
evolutions and thus the wheel diameter of
each wheel using the ESC. If the wheel diam-
eter of a wheel changes, the control indicator
of the tyres informs of this fact . The wheel
diameter changes when:
●
Tyre pressure is insufficient.
●
The tyre structure is damaged.
●
The vehicle is unbalanced because of a
load.
