The essentials
The anti-theft wheel bolt has a diff
er
ent
cap
. This cap only fits on anti-theft locking
bolts and is not for use with standard wheel
bolts.
Important information about wheel bolts
Factory-fitted rims and wheel bolts are spe-
cially matched during construction. There-
fore, if different rims are fitted, the correct
wheel bolts with the right length and heads
must be used. This ensures that wheels are
fitted securely and that the brake system
functions correctly.
In certain circumstances, you should not even
use wheel bolts from vehicles of the same
model.
In wheels with full hubcaps, the anti-theft
locking bolt must be threaded onto positions

Fitting the jack.
●
Place the jack* (vehicle tools) on firm
gr
ound. If necessary use a l
ar
ge, strong
board or similar support. If the surface is slip-
pery (for example tiles) place the jack on a
rubber mat or similar to prevent it from slip-

Align the jack* so that tab

●
Continue turning the jack* until the wheel is
slightly lift
ed off the gr
ound.
WARNING
●
Make sure that the jack* r
emains stable.
If the surface is slippery or soft, the jack*
could slip or sink, respectively, with the re-
sultant risk of injury.
●
Only raise the vehicle with the jack* sup-
plied by the manufacturer. Other jacks,
even those approved for other SEAT mod-
els could slip, with the consequent risk of
injury.
●
Only mount the jack* on the support
points designed for this purpose on the
strut, and always align the jack correctly. If
you do not, the jack* could slip as it does
not have an adequate grip on the vehicle:
risk of injury!
