2014 Seat Toledo warning

Emergencies
Snow chains Snow chains must only be used on the front
wheels.
In winter road conditions, snow chains not
only help to improve grip but also improve
the braking capacity.
For technical reasons snow chains may only
be used on tyres with the following wheel
rim/tyre combinations.Rim sizeRim offsetTyre size
5J x 14
a)35 mm175/70
6J x 15b)38 mm185/60
6J x 15b)38 mm195/55
a)
Only use snow chains with fine-pitch links and lock no greater
than 9 mm.
b) Only use snow chains with fine-pitch links and lock no greater
than 13 mm.
Remove the wheel trims before fitting snow
chains. CAUTION
Chains must be removed when roads are free
of snow. Otherwise they will impair handling,
damage the tyres and wear out very quickly. Emergencies

Introduction WARNING
● If you have a puncture in moving traffic,
switch on the hazard warning lights and
place the warning triangle at the obligatory
distance. Observe applicable local legal regu-
lations. This is for your own safety and that of
other drivers. ●
If you have a flat tyre, stop the vehicle as
far away as possible from moving traffic. Stop
on flat, solid ground.
● If you have to change the tyre on a gradi-
ent, block the wheel opposite the wheel be-
ing changed by placing a stone or similar ob-
ject under it to prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing away unexpectedly.
● If the vehicle has been fitted with tyres or
alloys that are different to those fitted in
manufacture, the instructions ››› page 146,
Replacing tyres and wheels must be followed.
● Always raise the vehicle with the doors
closed.
● Never place parts of your body, e.g. arms
and legs, underneath the vehicle when it is
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 slip-
pery and the vehicle could slip off it. There-
fore, place the jack on a firm surface or use a
large, stable base. On a slippery surface, e.g.
tile, use a non-slip base such as a rubber
mat.
● Never start the engine when the vehicle is
jacked. 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. 150

Tyre repairs TMS (Tyre Mobility System)* The Tyre Mobility System is stored in a box
under the carpet in the boot.Using the Tyre Mobility System you can relia-
bly seal tyres damaged by foreign bodies,
provided that cuts or punctures are no larger
than approx. 4 mm in diameter. Do not re-
move the foreign bodies, e.g. bolts or nails,
from the tyre!
The tyre must be repaired immediately.
The repair made using the Tyre Mobility Sys-
tem
under no circumstances replaces
perm
a-
nent

drive to the nearest official service.
The Tyre Mobility System kit shall not be
used:
● If the wheel rim has been damaged,
● when the outside temperature is below
-20 °C (-4 °F),
● on slashes or punctures larger than 4 mm,
● if the sidewall of the wheel has been dam-
aged,
● 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 WARNING
Read and observe the safety warnings ››› in
Introduction on page 150.
● A ty r

e filled with sealant does not have the
same performance properties as a conven-
tional tyre. 154

socket.
– Turn on the air compressor with switch 8 .
– Leave the air compressor running until the
tyre pressure has reached 2.0 -2.5 bar
(29-36 psi/200-250 kPa). The max. operat-
ing time for the compressor is 8 minutes
››› !
– Switch the compressor off.
– When an air pressure of 2.0-2.5 bar
(29-36 psi/200-250 kPa) cannot be
reached, unscrew the flexible tube 5 from
the tyre valve.
– Drive the vehicle approx. 10 metres for-
wards or backwards, so that the sealant
can “spread evenly” in the tyre.
– Screw the flexible hose from the air com-
pressor 5 back onto the tyre valve and re-
peat the inflation process.
– If the pressure is still lower than specified,
the tyre is too badly damaged. The tyre can- not be repaired using the tyre sealant kit
››› .
– Switch the compressor off.
– Unscrew the flexible hose 5 from the tyre
valve.
When a tyre pressure of 2.0-2.5 bar
(29-36 psi/200-250 kPa) is reached, you can
continue driving at a max. speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph).
Check the tyre pressure after 10 minutes of
driving ››› page 157 . WARNING
● The flexible tyre filling hose and the air
compressor may heat up during the filling
process. Risk of injury!
● Do not place the hot flexible tyre filling
hose or hot air compressor on top of flamma-
ble materials. Risk of fire!
● If the tyre cannot be inflated to a minimum
pressure of 2.0 bar (29 psi/200 kPa), then
the tyre is too badly damaged. The sealing
product is unable to seal the tyre . Do not
continue driving and obtain professional as-
sistance. CAUTION
Do not use the air compressor for longer than
8 minutes at a time. Risk of overheating! Be-
fore using the air compressor again, leave it
to cool down for several minutes. 156

Emergencies
Check after 10 minutes of driving Check the tyre pressure after 10 minutes of
driving!
If the tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar
(18.8 psi/130 kPa):
–  Do not drive on! The tyr e cannot be suffi-
ciently filled using the tyre repair kit.
– See professional assistance.
If the tyre pressure is greater than 1.3 bar
(18.8 psi/130 kPa): – Correct the tyre pressure again to the cor-
rect value (see inside of the fuel tank flap).
– Carefully drive to the nearest specialised
workshop at a maximum speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph).
Jump-starting Introduction If the engine fails to start because of a dis-
charged battery, the battery can be connec-
ted to the battery of another vehicle to start
the engine. Suitable jump leads are required.
Both batteries need to have nominal voltage
of 12 V. The
capacity (Ah) of the back-up bat- t
er
y should not be notably less than the
drained battery.
Jump leads
The jump leads must be heavy enough to car-
ry the starter current and must be fitted with
insulated battery clamps. Refer to the instruc-
tions given by the manufacturer.
Positive cable – usually red
Neg

ative cable
– usually black WARNING
● A flat battery can also freeze at tempera-
tures slightly below to 0 °C (32 °F). Do not at-
tempt to start the vehicle with a frozen bat-
tery. Risk of explosion!
● Please note the safety warnings referring to
working in the engine compartment
››› page 132.
● The non-in s

ulated parts of the battery
clamps must not be allowed to touch. Addi-
tionally, the jump lead attached to the posi-
tive battery terminal must not touch metal
parts of the vehicle. Risk of short circuit!
● Do not connect the negative lead to the
negative terminal of the discharged battery.
In the event of sparks when starting the en-
gine, the explosive gas given off by the bat-
tery could catch fire.
● Position the jump leads in such a way that
they cannot come into contact with any mov-
ing parts in the engine compartment. ●
Do not bend over the battery. Risk of acid
burns!
● The screw plugs on the battery cells must
be screwed in firmly.
● Keep sources of fire (flames, lit cigarettes,
etc.) away from the battery. - Risk of explo-
sion!
● Never use the jump leads on batteries in
which the electrolyte level is too low. Risk of
explosion and acid burns. Note
● The vehicles must not touch each other, as
electricity could flow as soon as the positive
terminals are connected.
● The discharged battery must be properly
connected to the vehicle electrical system.
● The jump leads should be checked in a spe-
cialist vehicle battery shop. 157

Starting
7. Start the engine of the vehicle with the boosting battery and let it run at idling
speed. 8. Start the engine of the vehicle with the flat
battery and wait 2 or 3 minutes until the
engine is “running”.
Removing the jump leads
9. Before you remove the jump leads, switch off the dipped beam headlights (if they
are switched on).
10.Turn on the heater blower and heated rear window in the vehicle with the flat battery.
This helps minimise voltage peaks which
are generated when the leads are discon-
nected.
11. When the engine is running, disconnect
the l e
ads in reverse order to the details
given above.
Connect the battery clamps so they have
good metal-to-metal contact with the battery
terminals.
If the engine fails to start, switch off the start-
er after about 10 seconds and try again after
about 1 minute. WARNING
● Please note the safety warnings referring to
working in the engine compartment

Fuses Introduction Due to the constant updating of vehicles,
fuse assignments based on equipment and
the use of the same fuse for various electrical
components, it is not possible to provide an
up-to-date summary of the fuse positions for
the electrical components at the time this
manual was printed. For detailed information
about the fuse positions, please consult a
technical service.
In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
electrical components. Likewise, an electrical
component can be protected by several
fuses.
Only replace fuses when the cause of the
problem has been solved. If a newly inserted
fuse blows after a short time, you must have
the electrical system checked by a special-
ised workshop as soon as possible.
Additional information and warnings:
● Working in the engine compartment
››› page 132 . WARNING
The high voltages in the electrical system can
give serious electrical shocks, causing burns
and even death!
● Never touch the electrical wiring of the igni-
tion system.
● Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electrical system. WARNING
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or
bridging a current circuit without fuses can
cause a fire and serious injury.
● Never use a fuse with a higher value. Only
replace fuses with a fuse of the same amper-
age (same colour and markings) and size.
● Never repair a fuse.
● Never replace a fuse by a metal strip, staple
or similar. CAUTION
● To prevent damage to the vehicle's electric
system, before replacing a fuse always turn
off the ignition, the lights and all electrical
elements and remove the key from the igni-
tion.
● If you replace a fuse with higher-rating
fuse, you could cause damage to another part
of the electrical system.
● Protect the fuse boxes when open to pre-
vent the entry of dust or humidity as they can
damage the electrical system. » 163
