If the anti-theft wheel bolt is overly tight-
ened, this could damage the bolt and the
adapter. Note
● The set of anti-theft wheel bolts or the
adapter are available from authorised SEAT
dealers.
● Please observe the relevant local legal reg-
ulations when changing the wheel. Preparation work
Some preparation is required before chang-
ing 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 ve-
hicle . Vehicle occupants should wait in a
s af
e 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
g
earbox to position P.
– Apply the handbrake firmly.
– If t
owing a trailer, unhitch it. –
Take the vehicle tool kit ››
› page 150 and
the spare wheel ››› page 150 out of the lug-
gage compartment.
Wheel trim Removing
– Place the hook from the vehicle tool kit on
the reinforced edge of the wheel trim.
– Insert the box spanner through the hook,
supporting it on the tyre and remove the
wheel trim.
Fitting – First press the wheel trim onto the wheel at
the cut out designed for the valve. Then
press the wheel trim on both sides in the
direction of the valve so that it fits correctly
in place around all the perimeter. CAUTION
● Press down by hand, do not hit the wheel
trim! Knocking it sharply, particularly at
points where the wheel trim has not yet been
inserted, could result in damage to the wheel
trim guiding and centring elements.
● Before fitting the trim on a steel wheel at-
tached with an anti-theft wheel bolt, make
sure the bolt is in the hole in the valve area
››› page 154, Anti-theft wheel bolts*. ●
Where trim is fitted at a later date, ensure
enough air inflow is guaranteed in order to
cool the brake system. Wheel bolt caps

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

on battery). Failure to comply could result in
an explosion.
●
Never use jump leads when one of the bat-
teries is frozen. Danger of explosion! Even af-
ter the battery has thawed, battery acid could
leak and cause chemical burns. If a battery
freezes, it should be replaced.
● Keep sparks, flames and lighted cigarettes
away from batteries, danger of explosion.
Failure to comply could result in an explo-
sion.
● Observe the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the jump leads.
● Do not connect the negative cable from the
other vehicle directly to the negative terminal
of the flat battery. The gas emitted from the
battery could be ignited by sparks. Danger of
explosion.
● Do not attach the negative cable from the
other vehicle to parts of the fuel system or to
the brake line.
● The non-insulated parts of the battery
clamps must not be allowed to touch. The
jump lead attached to the positive battery
terminal must not touch metal parts of the ve-
hicle, this can cause a short circuit.
● Position the leads in such a way that they
cannot come into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
● Do not lean on the batteries. This could re-
sult in chemical burns. Note
The vehicles must not touch each other, oth-
erwise electricity could flow as soon as the
positive terminals are connected. Towing the vehicle
Introduction Vehicles with manual gearbox can be towed
using a towbar or towrope. They can also be
towed with either the front or rear wheels lif-
ted off the road.
Vehicles with automatic gearbox can be tow-
ed using a towbar or towrope. They can also
be towed with the front wheels lifted off the
road. If the vehicle is towed with the rear
wheels lifted off the road the automatic gear-
box will be damaged!
It is safer to tow a vehicle with a
towbar. A
towrope should only be used if you do not
h av
e a towbar.
Follow the instructions below when towing a
vehicle:
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
– Engage the clutch very gently when starting
to move or on vehicles with automatic gear-
box press the accelerator carefully. –
On vehicles with a manual gearbox, the
towrope must be taut before driving off.
Maximum towing speed is 50 km/h (31
mph).
Note
s for the driver of the towed vehicle
– The ignition should be switched on so that
the steering wheel lock is not engaged and
the turn signals, horn and windscreen wip-
ers and washers can be used.
– Put the gear lever in neutral or move the se-
lector lever to position N (automatic gear-
bo
x).
The brake servo and power steering only
work when the engine is running. Considera-
bly more effort is required on the brake pedal
and steering wheel when the engine is
switched off.
Ensure the towrope remains taut at all times
when towing. CAUTION
● Do not tow-start the engine. Risk of engine
damage! In vehicles with a catalytic convert-
er, fuel that has not been burned could reach
the catalytic converter and catch fire in it.
This could damage and destroy the catalytic
converter. You may use the battery from an-
other vehicle to help you start your engine
