Wheels
●
Wheel rims may be damaged or scratch-
ed if the chains come into direct cont
act
with them. SEAT recommends the use of
covered snow chains.
Tyre pressure loss indicator
Control lamp
It lights up
The inflation pressure of one or more wheels is much
lower than the value set by the driv
er, or the tyre has
structural damage.
In addition, a audible warning sounds and a text
message is displayed on the instrument panel
screen.
Stop the vehicle! Stop the vehicle safely as soon
as possible. Check all tyres and pressures. Replace
any damaged tyres.
Flashes
System fault
The control lamp flashes for appr
oximately 1 minute
and then lights up permanently.
If the tyre is inflated correctly, switch the ignition off
and on again. Re-calibrate the tyre pressure loss in-
dicator

page 363. If the fault continues, go to a
specialised workshop.
Several control and warning lamps light up
f
or a f
e
w seconds when the ignition is s
wit
ch-
ed on while the function is verified. They will
switch off after a few seconds.
WARNING

Tyre monitor system

.
The tyre monitor indicator compares wheel
r
e
v
olutions and, with this inf
ormation, the
tr
ead of each wheel using the ABS sensors.
If the rolling circumference of one or more
wheels has changed, the tyre monitoring indi-
cator will indicate this on the instrument pan-
el through a warning lamp and a warning to
the driver
›››
Fig. 320. When only one specific
tyre is affected, its position within the vehicle
will be indicated.
Loss of pressure: Check left
tyre pressure!
Wheel tread change
The wheel diameter changes when:
●
Tyre pressure is changed manually.
●
Tyre pressure is insufficient.
●
The tyre structure is damaged.
●
The vehicle is unbalanced because of a
load.
●
The wheels on an axle are subject to a
heavier load (e.g. with a heavy load).
●
The vehicle is fitted with snow chains.
●
The temporary spare wheel is fitted.
●
The wheel on one axle is changed.
There may be a delay in the reaction of the
tyre monitoring indicator or it may not indi-
cate anything under certain circumstances
(e.g. sporty driving, snow-covered or un-
paved roads, or when driving with snow
chains).
Calibrating the tyre monitoring indicator
After changing the tyre pressure or replacing
one or more wheels, the tyre monitoring indi-
cator must be recalibrated. Do the same, for
example, when the front and rear wheels are
swapped.
●
Switch the ignition on.
