2014 Seat Leon 5D air condition

Advice
the wheel condition and hub mounting surfa-
ces. These surfaces must be clean before fit-
ting the wheel. CAUTION
When removing/fitting the wheel, the rim
may hit and damage the brake disc. For this
reason, please take care and get a second
person to assist you. Tyres with compulsory direction of
rotation
A directional tread pattern can be identified
by arrows on the sidewall that point in the di-
rection of rotation. Always observe the direc-
tion of rotation indicated when mounting the
wheel. This is important so that these tyres
can give maximum grip and avoid excessive
noise, tread wear and aquaplaning.
If, exceptionally, it is necessary to mount the
spare wheel* in the opposite direction of ro-
tation, please drive carefully, as in this case
the tyre does not have optimum conditions of
use. This is particularly important when driv-
ing on wet roads.
To benefit from the advantages of tyres with
this type of tread pattern, the defective tyre
should be replaced as soon as possible so
that all tyres again rotate in the correct direc-
tion. After changing a wheel –
On alloy wheels: replace the wheel bolt
caps.
– On plate wheels: replace the wheel hubcap
››› page 217.
– Put the tools and jack back in the luggage
compartment.
– If the replaced wheel does not fit in the
spare wheel housing, store it safely in the
luggage compartment ››› page 114.
– Check the tyre pressure of the newly moun-
ted tyre as soon as possible.
– In vehicles fitted with a tyre pressure indi-
cator, adjust the pressure and store the
reading in the radio/ Easy Connect system*
››› page 212.
– The wheel bolts should be tightened to 120
Nm. Check the torque as soon as possible
with a torque wrench. Meanwhile, drive
carefully.
– Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as
possible. Tyre repair

WARNING
When inflating the wheel, the air compressor
and the inflator tube may become hot.
● Protect hands and skin from hot parts.
● Do not place the hot flexible inflator tube or
hot air compressor on flammable material.
● Allow them to cool before storing the de-
vice.
● If it is not possible to inflate the tyre to at
least 2.0 bars (29 psi / 200 kPa), the tyre is
too badly damaged. The sealant is not in a
good condition to seal the tyre. Do not con-
tinue driving. Seek specialist assistance. CAUTION
Switch off the air compressor after a maxi-
mum of 8 operational minutes to avoid over-
heating! Before switching on the air compres-
sor again, let it cool for several minutes. 7

reach the nearest specialised workshop with-
out exceeding 80 km/h (50 mph).
● Have the damaged tyre replaced. WARNING
Driving with an unsealed tyre is dangerous
and can cause accidents and serious injury.
● Do not continue driving if the tyre pressure
is 1.3 bar (19 psi / 130 kPa) and lower.
● Seek specialist assistance. 222
