Emergencies
–
Place the jack under the jacking point and
turn the crank until the arm of the jack is di-
rectly below the vertical rib under the door
sill.
–
Align the jack so that the arm of the jack
fits around the rib under the door sill and
the movable base plate of the jack is flat on
the ground ››› Fig. 161
.
–
R
ai
se the vehicle until the defective wheel
is just clear of the ground.
Recesses at the front and rear of the door
sills mark the jacking points ››› Fig. 160.
There is only one jacking point for each
wheel. Do not fit the jack anywhere else.
An unstable surface under the jack may
cause the vehicle to slip off the jack. There-
fore, it must be fitted on solid ground offer-
ing good support. Use a large and stable
base, if necessary. On a hard, slippery sur-
face (such as tile) use a rubber mat or similar
to prevent the jack from slipping.
WARNING
●
Take all precautions so that the base of the
jack does not slip. Failure to follow this in-
struction could result in an accident.
●
The vehicle can be damaged if the jack is
not applied at the correct jacking points.
There is also a risk of injury since the jack can
slip off suddenly if it is not properly engaged.
Removing and fitting the wheel
Change the wheel as described below after
loosening the wheel bolts and raising the ve-
hicle with the jack.
Removing a wheel
–
Unscrew the wheel bolts using the box
spanner and place them on a clean surface.
Fitting a wheel
–
Screw on the wheel bolts in position and
tighten them loosely with a box spanner.
The wheel bolts should be clean and easily
screwed. Before fitting the spare wheel, in-
spect the wheel condition and hub mounting
surfaces. These surfaces must be clean be-
fore fitting the wheel.
If tyres with a specific direction of rotation
are fitted, note the direction of rotation.
Anti-theft wheel bolts*
Fig. 162 Anti-theft wheel bolt with cap and
adapter.
A special adapter is required to turn the anti-
theft wheel bolts. This is found in the tool
box.
–
Insert the adapter onto the wheel bolt and
push it on as far as it will go ››› Fig. 162
.
–
Fit
the bo
x spanner as far as it will go over
the adapter.
–
Loosen or tighten the wheel bolt as appro-
priate.
Code
The code number of the anti-theft wheel bolt
is stamped onto the front part of the adaptor.
The code number should be noted and kept
in a safe place, as it is only by using the code
number that a duplicate adaptor can be ob-
tained from SEAT Official Services.
