Practical tips
used. Rolling noise, wear and energy con-
sumption will all be reduced.
Snow chains
Snow chains should only be used on the
front 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).
Snow chains will impro
ve 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
or
e fitting sno
w chains.
WARNING
The use of unsuitable or incorrectly fitted
chains could lead t
o serious accidents and
damage.
●
Always the appropriate snow chains.
●
Observe the fitting instructions pro
vided
by the snow chain manufacturer.
●
Never exceed the maximum permitted
speeds when driving with snow chains.
CAUTION
●
R
emov
e 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.

The tyre pressure loss indicator compares the
r

v
olutions 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.
