Please note regulations to this effect in your country.
• All-weather tyres can also be used instead of winter tyres.
• If you have a flat tyre the remarks on using the spare wheel on
page 208 should be noted.
• Do not leave winter tyres fitted for an unnecessary long period
because when the roads are free of snow and ice the handling with
summer tyres is better.

For environmental reasons summer tyres should be fitted again as soon as
possible because normally they are quieter in running, tyre wear is reduced
and the fuel consumption is lower.
K
Snow chains
Snow chains may only be fitted on the front wheels. This also
applies to vehicles with four wheel drive*.
The use of snow chains on the tyres 195/65 R 15 is allowed.

When using snow chains wheel rim plates and rim rings must be
taken off. In this case, to protect the wheel, the bolts must then be
fitted with caps which are available from Technical Service Centres.When driving over roadswhich are free of snow you must remove
the chains. On such roadsthey are detrimental to vehicle handling,
damage the tyres and wear out quickly.
In some countries the maximum permissible speed with snow
chains is 50 km/h.

• Depressions under vehicle for jack:
– Depressions in the side member at front and rear indicate the
points at which the claw of jack must be fitted to the vertical rib of
the side member
⇒arrows,fig. 177.
– Wind jack arm up by turning the crank in the spindle until the
jack just goes under the vehicle.
– The claw of the jack must fit round the vertical rib on the side
member so that the jack cannot slip when vehicle is lifted
⇒
fig. 178.– If the ground is soft, place a large strong piece of packing under
the jack base plate.
– Align jack and at same time wind claw up further until it contacts
the vehicle.
– Lift vehicle until the wheel is just clear of the ground.
K
Removing and fitting the wheel
– Remove the wheel bolts, place them on a clean surface (hub cap,
cloth) next to the jack and take the wheel off.
– Fit spare wheel and lightly tighten all bolts. The wheel bolts must
be clean and easy to turn – do not under any circumstances use
grease or oil!
– Lower vehicle and fully tighten bolts in diagonal sequence.
– Refit the wheel trim.
– Place and secure the defective wheel in the spare wheel bracket

The Alhambra’s alloy wheels have anti-theft wheel bolts. The
special adapter required for these bolts is contained in the vehicle
tool kit.
The procedure for changing a wheel is as follows:
• First press the adapter
2as far as possible into the star shaped
depression on the anti-theft wheel bolt1⇒ fig. 179.
• Push the wheel spanner (from the vehicle tools) as far as
possible onto the adapter
2and loosen/tighten the wheel bolt as
necessary
⇒"Replacing a wheel" chapter.

• We recommend always carrying the adaptor in the space provided for it in
the tool box⇒fig. 180
• Should you lose the adapter
⇒fig. 1792, SEAT Service can supply you
with a new one with reference to the code card (also in vehicle tools).

The individual current circuits are protected by fuses.
All electric windows are protected together via an automatic fuse
which breaks the circuit when overloaded (e.g. windows frozen)
and completes the circuit again after a few seconds.
It is advisable to always carry a few spare fuses on the vehicle.

Apart from this, important electronic components can be damaged or the
functioning impaired. If for example the speed signal is disturbed this can
lead to faulty management of engine, automatic gearbox, ABS etc.
Even connecting the speed signal to radio sets with speed dependent
volume control from other manufacturers can cause such faults.
• Therefore, it is recommended that the Technical Service install
the radio. They are fully informed about the technical features of
the vehicle, have the Genuine radios
1), the necessary fitting parts
from the Genuine SEAT Accessory Programme1)and work in
accordance with the guidelines developed by the factory.
• The radios from the Genuine SEAT Accessory Programme
1)are
similar to those used in the factory and ensure trouble-free
installation. These sets are in keeping with the advanced
technology and well-planned easy-to-operate design. In Germany
there is also an Exchange Service for these radios so that even
after years of use a set requiring repair can be exchanged cheaply
for a completely reconditioned, good-as-new set by a SEAT dealer.
• Loudspeakers, fitting parts, aerials and suppression kits should
also be taken from the Genuine SEAT Accessory Programme
1).
These parts have all been specially developed for each vehicle
model.

Mobile phones and radio – telephones should be installed by a
specialised workshop.
SEAT has authorised the use of mobile telephones and two-way
radios for your vehicle with correctly installed external aerial and
maximum broadcast power of 10 Watts.
C Ca
au
ut
ti
io
on
n
When using mobile telephones or two-way, faults in the vehicle electrics
could occur under the following conditions:
– no external aerial
– external aerial incorrectly installed
– broadcast power higher than 10 Watts.
Mobile telephones or two-way radios must not, therefore, be operated
inside the vehicle without a separate external aerial or with an aerial which
has been incorrectly installed.
Furthermore, optimal range is only achieved with an external aerial.

Please take the time to review the instruction manuals provided with mobile
telephones and two-way radios!
If you wish to use mobile phones or radio telephones with a
transmission power of over 10 W, you must necessarily check with
your Technical Service Centre. They will inform you about the
technical possibilities for additional mobile and radio phone
equipment.

engine. The following points should be noted:
• Both batteries must be of the 12 Volt variety and the capacity
(Ah) of the booster battery must be approximately the same as that
of the flat battery.• The jumper cables must be heavy enough to carry the load. Note
cable manufacturer’s data.
• Only use jumper cables with insulated clips.
• There must be no contact between the vehicles, otherwise
current can flow as soon as the plus terminals are connected.
• The flat battery must be properly connected to the electrical
system.
• The engine of the boosting vehicle must be running.
• Ensure that the insulated clips have enough contact to metal.
This is particularly applicable to clips which are attached to the
engine block.
