Introduction
WARNING
● During the first 500 km (300 miles), new tyres do not give maximum
grip, therefore you should drive carefully. Risk of accident!
● Never drive with damaged tyres. Risk of accident!
● Only use wheels and tyres that been authorised by SEAT or your vehi-
cle model. Failure to do so could impair road safety. Risk of accident!
● Never exceed the maximum speed permitted for your tyres. Risk of ac-
cident due to tyre damage and loss of vehicle control.
● Under-inflated tyres are submitted to greater rolling resistance. This
means that they can overheat at high speeds. This can cause tread sepa-
ration and even tyre blow-out.
● For driving safety, tyres should be replaced at least in pairs according
to the axle and not individually. The tyres with the deepest tread should
always be used on the front wheels.
● Never fit used tyres of an unknown age or prior use.
● Tyres must be immediately changed at the very latest when they have
worn down to the tread wear indicators.
● Worn tyres reduce the necessary grip at high speeds on damp surfa-
ces. This could lead to “aquaplaning” (uncontrolled vehicle movement –
“skidding” on damp surfaces).
● Damaged wheels and tyres must be replaced immediately.
WARNING (Continued)
● Do not use summer or winter tyres that are more than 6 or 4 years old
respectively.
● Wheel bolts should be clean and screw easily. However, they must
never be treated with grease or oil.
● If the tightening torque of the wheel bolts is too low, they could loos-
en while the vehicle is moving. Risk of accident! If the tightening torque
of the wheel bolts is too high, the bolts and threads could be damaged,
leading to the permanent deforming of the rim support surfaces.
● Incorrectly handled wheel bolts could lead to a wheel coming loose
while the vehicle is moving. Risk of accident!
● The local regulations in force must be taken into account when using
child seats.
CAUTION
● Where a spare wheel that is not compatible with the wheels fitted is
used, follow the instructions ⇒ page 190.
● The prescribed tightening torque for wheel bolts on steel and alloy
wheels is 120 Nm.
● Protect your tyres from coming into contact with oil, grease and fuel.
● Replace any lost valve caps immediately.

WARNING (Continued)
● Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed.
● Never place parts of your body, e.g. arms and legs, underneath the
vehicle when supported only by the jack.
● Secure the base of the jack with suitable supports so that it cannot
slip. The jack could slide if the ground below it is soft and slippery and
the vehicle could slip off it. Therefore, place the jack on a firm surface or
use a large, stable base. On a slippery surface, e.g. tiles, use a non-slip
base such as a rubber mat.
● Never start the engine when the vehicle is raised. Risk of injury.
● The jack should only be used in the correct jacking points.
CAUTION
● The prescribed tightening torque for wheel bolts on steel and alloy
wheels is 120 Nm.
● If the anti-theft wheel bolt is overly tightened, this could damage the
bolt and the adapter
Note
● The set of anti-theft wheel bolts or the adapter are available from au-
thorised SEAT dealers.
● Please observe the relevant local legal regulations when changing the
wheel. 
Preparation work
Some preparation is required before changing a wheel:
– If you have a flat tyre, stop the vehicle as far away as possible
from moving traffic. The surface must be horizontal.–
All vehicle occupants should leave the vehicle . Vehicle occu-
pants should waiting in a safe place, e.g. behind the roadside
crash barrier) while the wheel is being changed.
– Switch off the ignition and engage neutral or move the selector
lever on the automatic gearbox to position P.
– Apply the handbrake firmly.
– If towing a trailer, unhitch it.
– Take the vehicle tool kit ⇒ page 198 and the spare wheel
⇒ page 198 out of the luggage compartment. 
Changing a wheel
If possible, change the wheel on a level surface.
– Pull off the hub cap ⇒ page 191 or the wheel bolt covers
⇒ page 191.
– First loosen the anti-theft wheel bolts and then the other wheel
bolts ⇒ page 200.
– Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be changed is no longer
touching the ground ⇒ page 201.
– Remove the wheel bolts and place them on a clean surface
(cloth, paper, etc.).
– Take off the wheel.
– Lift the spare wheel into position and tighten the wheel bolts
lightly. 

200Self-help
–Lower the vehicle.
– Tighten the wheel bolts firmly in diagonal sequence with the
box spanner and then the anti-theft wheel bolt ⇒ page 200.
– Replace the hub cap and/or the bolt covers.
Note
● All bolts must be clean and turn easily.
● Never grease or oil the wheel bolts!
● Note the direction of rotation when putting on a tyre with directional
tread pattern ⇒ page 187. 
After changing a wheel
Tasks that must be carried out after changing a wheel.
– Place the wheel with the defective tyre in the spare wheel well
and secure it using a special bolt ⇒ page 190.
– Put the vehicle tools back in their storage location.
– Check the tyre pressure of the newly fitted spare wheel as soon
as possible.
– Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked as soon
as possible with a torque wrench.
– Have the flat tyre replaced or ask an Official Service about the
possibility of repair.
Note
● If you notice that the wheel bolts are rusty and difficult to turn when
changing a wheel, they must be replaced before having the tightening tor-
que checked.
● Drive carefully and at moderate speeds until the tightening torque of the
wheel bolts has been checked. 

Anti-theft wheel bolts
Fig. 134 Anti-theft
wheel bolt with adapter
Vehicles fitted with anti-theft wheel bolts (one bolt per wheel) can
only be loosened or tightened using a factory-supplied adapter.
– Pull off the hub cap or bolt cover.
– Insert the adapter B
⇒ Fig. 134 with its toothed side as far as
it will go on the interior toothing of the anti-theft wheel bolt A
so that only the outer hexagonal is protruding.
– Fit the box spanner as far as it will go over adapter B
.
– Loosen or firmly tighten the wheel bolt ⇒ page 200.
– After removing the adapter, replace the hub cap or the anti-theft
wheel bolt cover.
– Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked as soon
as possible with a torque wrench. Note down the code number stamped on the front of the adapter or on the
front of the anti-theft wheel bolt. You will need this number to obtain a
spare adapter from the SEAT Original Accessories.
We recommend you always carry the wheel bolt adapter in the vehicle. It
should be stored in the vehicle tool kit.

Tyre repair kit* Introduction
The tyre repair kit is stored in a box under the carpet in the luggage com-
partment.
The tyre repair kit will reliably seal tyres damaged by foreign bodies, provi-
ded that cuts or punctures are no larger than approx. 4 mm in diameter. Do
not remove the foreign bodies, e.g. bolts or nails, from the tyre!
The tyre must be repaired immediately.
The repair made using the tyre repair kit under no circumstances replaces
permanent tyre repair and should only be used to drive to the nearest Offi-
cial Service.
The tyre repair kit must not be used:
● If the wheel rim has been damaged
● At outside temperatures below -20 °C (-4 °F)
● On cuts or punctures larger than 4 mm
● If the sidewall of the wheel has been damaged
● If you have been driving with very low tyre pressure or a completely flat
tyre
● If the best-before date on the air can has expired 

Wheel bolts
After the wheels have been changed, the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts should be checked as soon as possible with a torque wrench ⇒ 
.
The tightening torque for steel and alloy wheels is 120 Nm.
WARNING
● Check the tyre pressure at least once per month. Checking the tyre
pressure is very important. If the tyre pressure is too high or too low,
there is an increased danger of accidents, particularly at high speeds.
● If the tightening torque of the wheel bolts is too low, they could loos-
en while the vehicle is in motion. Risk of accident! If the tightening tor-
que is too high, the wheel bolts and threads can be damaged.
Note
We recommend that you ask your Technical Service for information about
appropriate wheel, tyre and snow chain size. 
