The spare tire is located under the boot floor covering. It is secured
on the bottom with a plastic wheel
⇒fig. 132.
•To keep the spare tire always in perfect condition, it is advisable
to regularly check the tire pressure (preferably together with the
other tires, see inside the tank flap).

General notes
• New tyres do not give maximum grip straight away and should
therefore be run in at moderate speeds and a careful style of
driving for about the first 100 km. This will help to make the tyres
last longer.
• The tread depth of new tyres can vary due to construction and
design features, and depending on version and manufactures.
• Check tyres for damage from time to time (cuts, splits, cracks and
lumps) and remove any foreign bodies embedded in the treads.
• To avoid damage to tyres and wheels drive over curbs and similar
obstacles very slowly and as nearly at right angles as possible.• Keep grease, oil and fuel off the tyres.
• Replace missing dust caps assoon as possible.
• Mark wheels before taking them off so that they rotate in the
same direction when put back on again.
• When taken off, the tyres should be stored in a cool, dry and
preferably dark place.
Tyres which are not on wheels should be stored in a vertical
position.

It is imperative that the designated direction of rotation for tyre treads
(which can be determined from the arrow on the side of the tyre) be kept to.
The best tyre performance i.e. in aquaplaning, road adhesion, noise and
wear is then guaranteed.

As imbalance also increases steering, suspension and tyre wear
the wheels should be balanced again. Furthermore a wheel should
always be rebalanced when the tyre has been repaired or when a
new tyre has been fitted.

Incorrect wheel alignment not only causes excessive, usually
uneven, tyre wear but can also impair the vehicle’s safe handling.
In case of abnormal tyre wear, contact a Technical Service Centre.

At the bottom of the tread of the original tyres there are 1.6 mm
high “wear indicators” running across the tread
⇒fig. 133. There
are 6-8 of these indicators – according to make – evenly spaced
around the tyre circumference. Marks on the walls of the tyre (for
example the letters “TWI” or triangles) show the locations of the
wear indicators.N No

When tread depth is down to 1.6 mm measured in the tread groove next to
the wear indicator bar – the official permissible minimum tread depth has
been reached (in export countries this figure may differ).
K
Renewing wheels/tyres
Wheels and tyres are important design features. The wheels and
tyres approved by us should be used. They are specially matched
to the model concerned and contribute largely to the excellent
roadholding and safe driving characteristics.
To maintain the vehicle’s proper operation, SEAT highly
recommends the use of pneumatics/tyres of the same
characteristics to that originally supplied with.

Because of the problems in disposing of old tyres and the specialised tools
and knowledge required, tyres should preferably be changed at a Technical
Service Centre.
• For safety reasons the tyres should be renewed in pairs and not
singly. The tyres with the deepest tread should always be on the
front wheels.

Changing the wheels round
If the front tyres are worn more than the rear it is advisable to
change the wheels round as shown. All tyres will then have
approximately the same length of service life.With certain types of tread wear it can be an advantage to change
the wheels diagonally. For more details, contact a Technical Service
Centre.
K
Winter tyres
When fitting winter tyres note the following:
• For better driving performance, fit winter tyres on all four wheels.
• Winter tyres are no longer fully effective when the tread has worn
down to a depth of 4 mm.
The following speed limits are valid for winter tyres:
Code letter Q max. 160 km/h
Code letter T max. 190 km/h
Code letter H max. 210 km/h

•In vehicles fitted with a plastic cover*, remove the cover to access the
attachment points of the vehicle. For this proceed as follows:
Pull on the cover and remove from its housing.
Once the cover is removed, it will remain suspended by a rubber to avoid its
loss.
– 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. 139.
– Align jack and at same time wind claw up further until it contacts
the vertical rib on side member.

General notes
Before replacing a bulb you must first switch off the corresponding
consumer.Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with bare fingers since the
finger prints left on the glass or the sweat could evaporate when
the bulb becomes hot and cause a drastic decrease in life span
and/or properties. You can avoid this problem by wearing gloves
when changing a bulb.
A bulb must be replaced by a bulb with the same properties. The
designation is marked on the base of the bulb or on the glass.
We recommend you always carry a box of spare bulbs in the
vehicle. At the very least, carry the following bulbs since they are
essential for driving safety:
