Emergencies
Bl
ock the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel being changed with folding wheel
chocks or other suitable objects.
Find the support point on the strut (sunken
area) closest to the wheel to be changed
››
Fig. 47.
Turn the jack crank handle, located below
the strut support point, to raise it until the
tab
››
Fig. 48 is below the housing that is
provided.
Align the jack so that the tab “grips” onto
the housing provided on the cross member
and the mobile base is resting on the ground.
The base plate 2 should fall vertically with re-
spect to the support point.
Continue turning the jack until the wheel is
slightly lifted off the ground.
WARNING
The factory-supplied jack is only designed
f
or changing wheels on this model. On no
account attempt to use it for lifting heavier
vehicles or other loads. Risk of injury.
Make sure the jack remains stable. If the
surface is slippery or soft, the jack could
slip or sink, respectively, with the conse-
quent risk of causing injuries.
Lift the vehicle using only the jack sup-
plied from the factory. Other jacks, even
those approved for other SEAT models
could slip, with the consequent risk of in-
jury.
Pl
ace the jack only at the support points
provided on the strut and align it. Other-
wise, the jack could slip because it does
not have sufficient grip on the vehicle: risk
of injury!
You should never place a body limb such
as an arm or leg under a raised vehicle that
is solely supported by the jack.
If you have to work underneath the vehi-
cle, you must use suitable stands addition-
ally to support the vehicle, there is a risk of
accident!.
Never raise the vehicle if it is tilting to one
side or the engine is running.
Never start the engine when the vehicle is
raised. The vehicle may come loose from
the jack due to the engine vibrations.
CAUTION
The vehicle must not be raised on the
cr
ossbar. Place the jack only at the support
points provided on the strut and align it.
Otherwise, the vehicle may be damaged.
