Wheels and tyres
Never deflate a hot tyre in order to obtain the required pressure. This could
re s
ult in very low tyre pressures which may lead to sudden blow-outs.
Checking tyre pressures
Tyre pressures should only be checked when the vehicle has not been driv-
en for more than a few kilometres (miles) at low speeds in the past three
hours.
● The tyre pressures should be checked regularly, and only when the tyres
are co
ld. Always check all the tyres. Tyre pressures should be checked more
often in colder regions, and only when the vehicle has not been driven re-
cently. Always use a correctly-operating tyre gauge.
● Adjust tyre pressures to the loads carried in the vehicle.
● After checking the pressure, always replace the valve caps, and where
applic
able, observe the instructions given for adjusting the tyre control sys-
tem ⇒ page 221. WARNING
If tyre pressures are too high or too low, the tyre may deflate or burst
sud den

ly while driving. This could result in serious accident.
● If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyres could overheat, resulting in
trea
d detachment or even burst tyres.
● When driving at high speeds and/or fully loaded, the tyre could sud-
denly o
verheat, burst or be subject to tread detachment, with the resul-
tant loss of control of the vehicle.
● Tyre pressures which are too high or too low reduce the service life of
the tyre, aff
ecting the vehicle's performance.
● Tyre pressures should be checked regularly, at least once a month
and before lon
g journeys.
● Adjust the pressures of all the tyres to the vehicle load.
● Never deflate excess pressure from hot tyres. CAUTION
● Take care not to tilt the manometer when placing it on the valve. Other-
w i

se, the valve may be damaged.
● To avoid damage to the valves, always replace valve caps correctly.
Check th
at the caps are identical to the standard caps and have been cor-
rectly tightened. For the sake of the environment
Under-inflated tyres will increase the fuel consumption. Note
When checking tyre pressures, please observe the instructions for the tyre
contr o

l system ⇒ page 221. 

Please observe all instructions and warnings when using snow c hains
⇒  page 301. WARNING
Although winter tyres help to make driving safer in the winter, you
shoul d not

take unnecessary risks.
● Adjust your speed and driving style to visibility, road, traffic and
weather c
onditions.
● Never exceed the maximum permitted speed or loads specified for the
type of w
inter tyre fitted on your vehicle. For the sake of the environment
When winter is over, change back to summer tyres. In temperatures above
+7°C (+45°F), per f

ormance will be improved if summer tyres are used. Fuel
consumption, wear and noises while driving will all be reduced. Note
● If the vehicle is fitted with a tyre control system, this should be “reprog-
r ammed” whenev

er a tyre is changed ⇒ page 223.
● Please ask at SEAT qualified workshops for information about the per-
mitted siz
es for winter tyres. 
Snow chains When using snow chains, applicable local legislation and maximum permit-
ted s
peed limits

must be observed.
In winter weather, snow chains not only help to improve grip but also im-
prove the braking capacity. Snow chains must only be mounted
on the front wheel
s, even on all-wheel
drive vehicles, and only with the tyre and rim combinations listed below: Tyre size Wheel rim
205/60 R16 6 1/2 J x 16 ET 33
SEAT recommends you ask a SEAT qualified workshop for further informa-
tion on wheel, tyr
e and c

hain sizes.
Wherever possible use fine-link chains measuring less than 15 mm (37/64
inch) including the lock.
Remove wheel hub covers and trim rings before fitting snow chains ⇒  .
The wheel bo lts

should be covered with caps for safety reasons. These are
available from qualified workshops. WARNING
The use of unsuitable or incorrectly fitted chains could lead to serious ac-
cident s

and damage.
● Always the appropriate snow chains.
● Observe the fitting instructions provided by the snow chain manufac-
turer
.
● Never exceed the maximum permitted speeds when driving with snow
chain
s. CAUTION
● You must remove the snow chains to drive on roads which are free of
s no

w. Otherwise they will impair handling, damage the tyres and wear out
very quickly.
● Wheel rims may be damaged or scratched if the chains come into direct
contact
with them. SEAT recommends the use of covered snow chains. Safety First Operating instructions Practical tips Technical Data

All data provided in this manual are valid for the standard model in Spain.
The vehicle data card included in the Inspection and Maintenance Plan in
the vehicles registration documents show which engine is installed in the
vehicle.

General notes on the technical data
Data on fuel consumption
Fuel c
onsumption The consumption and emission details shown on the vehicle
data
s

ticker differ from one vehicle to another.
The fuel consumption, CO 2 emissions and actual kerb weight of the vehicle
are noted on the vehicle data sticker.
The fuel consumption and emissions figures given are based on the vehicle
weight category, which is determined according to the engine/gearbox
combination and the equipment fitted.
The consumption and emission figures are calculated in accordance with
the EC test requirements 1999/100/EC. These test requirements specify a
realistic test method based on normal everyday driving.
The following test conditions are applied: Urban cycle The urban cycle starts with an engine cold start. City driving
is
then s

imulated. Extra urban
cyc
l

e In the extra urban cycle simulation the vehicle frequently ac-
cel
er
ates and brakes in all gears, as in normal everyday driv-
ing. The road speed ranges from 0 to 120 km/h. Total con-
sumption The average total consumption is calculated with a weight-
ing of
ar

ound 37% for the urban cycle and 63% for the extra
urban cycle. CO
2 emis-
s ion

s The exhaust gases are collected during both driving cycles
to c
alc
ulate carbon dioxide emissions. The gas composition
is then analysed to evaluate the CO 2 content and other
emissions. Note
● Actual consumption may vary from quoted test values, depending on
per son

al driving style, road and traffic conditions, the weather and the vehi-
cle condition. 
Weights Kerb weight refers to the basic model with a fuel tank filled to 90% capacity
and without
option

al extras. The figure quoted includes 75 kg to allow for
the weight of the driver.
For special versions and optional equipment fittings or for the addition of
accessories, the weight of the vehicle will increase ⇒  .
WARNING
● Please note that the centre of gravity may shift when transporting
he avy

objects; this may affect the vehicle's handling and lead to an acci-
dent. Always adjust your speed and driving style to suit road conditions
and requirements.
● Never exceed the gross axle weight rating or the gross vehicle weight
rating. If
the allowed axle load or the allowed total weight is exceeded,
the driving characteristics of the vehicle may change, leading to acci-
dents, injuries and damage to the vehicle. 
