Emergencies
●
Find the support point on the strut (sunk
en
area) closest to the wheel to be changed

Fig. 37.
●
Turn the jack crank handle, located below
the strut support point, to raise it until the
tab

Fig. 38 is below the housing provi-
ded.
●
Align the jack so that tab

“grips” onto
the housing pr
ovided on the strut and the mo-
bile base

is resting on the ground. The
base pl

should fall vertically with re-
spect t
o the support point

.
●
Continue turning the jack until the wheel is
slightly lift
ed 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.
●
Place 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 l
eg 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.
Removing and installing a wheel
Change the wheel after loosening the wheel
nuts and r
aising the vehicle with the jack.
When removing/fitting the wheel, the rim may
hit and damage the brake disc. For this rea-
son, please take care and get a second per-
son to assist you.
Taking off the wheel
●
Unscrew the wheel nuts using the box
spanner and place them on a clean surface.
●
Take off the wheel.
Putting on the spare wheel
Check the direction of rotation of the tyre
›››
page 47.
●
Place the spare wheel or temporary spare
wheel into position.
●
Screw on the wheel nuts in position and
tighten them loosely with a box spanner.
●
To tighten the anti-theft locking wheel nuts
use the corresponding adaptor.
●
Carefully lower the vehicle using the jack.
●
Use the wheel spanner to tighten all of the
wheel nuts clockwise. Tighten the bolts in di-
agonal pairs (not in a circle).
●
Put the caps, trim or full hubcap back on.
The wheel nuts should be clean and turn
easily. Before fitting the spare wheel, inspect
the wheel condition and hub mounting surfa-
ces. These surfaces must be clean before fit-
ting the wheel.
Tightening torque of the wheel nuts
The recommended tightening torque for
wheel nuts for steel and alloy wheels is
120 Nm. After changing a wheel, have the
