Advice
Replacing tyres and wheels All four wheels must be fitted only with tyres
of the same type, size and the same tread
pattern.
The correct tyre/wheel combinations speci-
fied for your vehicle are listed in its docu-
mentation.
Note for Italy: A SEAT Service Centre should
be c
on
sulted whether different sized wheels
or tyres to those originally fitted by SEAT may
be fitted, as well as the combinations al-
lowed between the front axle (axle 1) and
back axle (axle 2).
Understanding the tyre designations makes
it easier to choose the correct tyres. The tyre
designation is marked on the sidewall. For
example.

means, for example, that the tyre was pro-
duced in the 27th week of 2012.
Follow the instructions ››› page 146 if you
only have a temporary spare wheel.
Tyres with directional tread pattern The direction of rotation is indicated by the
arrows on the tyre sidewall
. The direction ofrotation indicated must be respected. This
guarantees optimum grip and helps avoid ex-
cessive noise, wear and aquaplaning.
In the event of a flat tyre, a spare wheel with
an undetermined tread pattern or an oppo-
site tread pattern must be used and you must
drive carefully, as in these cases the tyres no
longer offer maximum performance.

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

Advice
Wheel bolts The wheel bolts
are m atched to the rims.
When installing different wheels, e.g. to fit
light alloy wheels or wheels with winter tyres,
it is important to use the correct wheel bolts
with the right length and correctly shaped
bolt heads. This is essential for a secure fit of
the wheels and for proper operation of the
brake system.
Changing a wheel If possible, change the wheel on a level sur-
face.
– Pull off the hub cap ›››
page 151 or the
wheel bolt covers ›››
page 151.
– First loosen the anti-theft wheel bolts and
then the other wheel bolts ›››
page 152.
– Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be
changed is no longer touching the ground
››› page 153 .
– Remo

ve the wheel bolts and place them on
a clean surface (cloth, paper, etc.).
– Take off the wheel.
– Lift the spare wheel into position and tight-
en the wheel bolts lightly.
– Lower the vehicle. –
Tighten the wheel bolts firmly in diagonal
sequence with the box spanner and then
the anti-theft wheel bolt ››› page 152.
– Replace the hub cap and/or the bolt cov-
ers. 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 a directional tread pattern
››› page 144. 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 146 .
– Put

the vehicle tools back in their storage
location.
– Check the tyre pressure of the newly fitted
s

pare wheel as soon as possible.
– Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bo

lts 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 torque checked.
● Drive carefully and at moderate speeds un-
til the tightening torque of the wheel bolts
has been checked. Loosening and tightening wheel bolts

bolts. 152

Advice
●
If, due to a fault, there is no oil in the gear-
box, the car may only be towed with the
driven wheels lifted clear of the road and
transported on a special vehicle transporter
or trailer.
● If normal towing is not possible or if the ve-
hicle is to be towed for further than 50 km,
the vehicle must be transported on a special
vehicle transporter or trailer.
● The towrope should be slightly elastic to
reduce the load on both vehicles during tow-
ing. It is advisable to use a towrope made of
synthetic fibre or similar material only.
● Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle
and always take care to avoid jerking the tow-
rope. When towing on a loose surface there is
always a risk of overloading and damaging
the anchorage points.
● Attach the towrope or towbar only to the
towline anchorages or to the removable tow-
ing bracket ››› page 114, or ››› page 161. Note
● We recommend you use the towrope or tow-
bar available in the SEAT Original Accessories
programme from authorised SEAT dealers.
● Towing a vehicle requires a certain degree
of practical skill. Both drivers should be fa-
miliar with the technique required for towing.
Inexperienced drivers should not attempt to
tow away another vehicle or to have their ve-
hicle towed. ●
Note the legal regulations concerning tow-
ing, particularly those regarding the signal-
ling of the towed and towing vehicle.
● The towrope must not be twisted, as under
certain circumstances this could unscrew the
front towline anchorage. Towline anchorage

cover/fitting. Fitting and detaching the cover
– Press on the left of the cover as indicated
by the arrow ››› Fig. 131  .
– Pull on the cover to remove it from the front
bumper.
– To refit the cover after unscrewing the tow-
line anchorage, fit the cover and press
down on its right-hand side. The cover
must be securely engaged.
Fitting and detaching the towline anchorage
– Screw in the towline anchorage anti-clock-
wise by hand as far as it will go ››› Fig. 131
 .
To tighten the towline anchorage, we recom-
mend using the box spanner, the towing eye
from another vehicle or a similar object that
can be inserted through the anchorage.
– Unscrew the towline anchorage by turning
it clockwise. CAUTION
The towline anchorage must be screwed in as
far as it will go. Otherwise there is a risk of
the screw connection shearing off during
towing or tow-starting! 160

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
