2005 Seat Cordoba flat tire

21 Air Bag system
Safety FirstControls and equipment Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
Function of head airbags*
When the system is triggered, the bags inflate using gas.
In this way, the entire window area is protected as well as the door
frame areas (up to mid-door range), thus protecting passengers in
the front and rear seats.
The inflated Air Bag will lose pressure relatively slowly through its
tissue due to the pressure caused by the lateral movement of the
occupant. In this way the risk of damage to the upper body due to
a crash is greatly reduced.
When the lateral Air Bag is deployed*, the head Air Bag is
automatically deployed on the side of the impact.

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 174 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 can only be fitted on the front wheels.
The use of snow chains is permitted on 155/80 R 13, 165/70 R 14
and 185/60 R 14 tires.

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.

Preparation work
– In case of a flat tyre or puncture, park the vehicle as far as
possible away from the traffic flow. If necessary, switch hazard
warning lights on and place the warning triangle in position – note
any statutory requirements.
– All vehicle occupants should leave the vehicle and move to a
safe area (e.g. behind safety barrier).
– Apply handbrake firmly, engage a gear or place the gear selector
in position “P” and chock the opposite wheel with a stone or
similar.
– When towing a trailer, the trailer must first be disengaged from
the towing vehicle before the wheel is changed.
– Take tools and spare wheel out of luggage compartment.

Carry out wheel change on as flat a surface as possible.K
