Wheels

speeds when driving with snow chains.
CAUTION

R
emo
ve 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.

Tyre monitoring system*

Centre console: tyre monitoring sys-

on.
The tyre pressure loss indicator compares the
r
e
volutions 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.
●
The wheels of one axle are under more
pressure (for example, driving with a trailer or
on steep slopes).
●
The vehicle is fitted with snow chains.
●
The temporary spare wheel is fitted.
●
The wheel on one axle is changed.
Tyre pressure setting
After changing the tire pressure or changing
one or more wheels, keep the button
›››
Fig. 169 pressed, with the ignition switched
on, until an acoustic signal is heard.
If the wheels are under excessive load (for ex-
ample, driving with a trailer or heavy load),
the tyre pressure must be increased to the
recommended value for a full load (see the
sticker
›››
Fig. 166) If the tyre monitor system
button is pressed down, the new tyre pres-
sures are confirmed.
WARNING
When the tyres are inflated at different
pressur
es or at a pressure that is too low
then a tyre may be damaged resulting in a
loss of control of the vehicle and a serious
or fatal accident.
●
If the lamp lights up, reduce speed im-
mediately and avoid any sudden turning or
braking manoeuvre. Stop when possible,
and check the tyre pressure and status.
●
The tyre monitoring system can only op-
erate correctly if all of the tyres are infla-
ted to the correct pressure when cold.
●
If a tyre has not been punctured and it
does not have to be changed immediately,
drive to the nearest specialised workshop
at a moderate speed and have the tyre
checked and inflated to the correct pres-
sure.
