2016 Seat Ateca jack points

The essentials
Note
Make a note of the code number of the anti-
thef t
wheel bolt and keep it in a safe place,
but not in your vehicle. If you need a new
adapter, you can obtain it from the SEAT Offi-
cial Service, indicating the code number. Loosening the wheel bolts

Wheel: loosen the wheel bolts. ●
Insert the box spanner (vehicle tools) onto
the wheel bo

lt as far as it will go. An adapter
is required to unscrew or tighten the anti-
theft wheel bolts ›››
page 54.
● Turn the wheel bolt approximately one turn
to the l
eft ›››
Fig. 71 (arrow). To apply the re-
quired torque, hold the wheel brace at the
end. If it is not possible to loosen a wheel
bolt, carefully apply pressure with one foot
on the end of the box spanner. Hold on to the
vehicle for support and take care not to slip. WARNING
Slightly loosen the wheel bolts (one turn) be-
f or

e raising the vehicle with the jack*. If not,
an accident may occur. Lifting the vehicle

e. ●
Plac

e the jack* (vehicle tools) on firm
ground. If necessary use a large, strong
board or similar support. If the surface is slip-
pery (for example tiles) place the jack on a
rubber mat or similar to prevent it from slip-
ping ››› .
● Find the support point on the strut (sunken
ar e

a) closest to the wheel to be changed
››› Fig. 72.
● Turn the jack* crank handle, located below
the strut
support point, to raise it until the
tab 1
› ››
Fig. 73
is below the housing provi-
ded.
● Align the jack* so that tab 1 “grips” onto
the hou s

ing provided on the strut and the
mobile base 2 is resting on the ground. The
b a

se plate 2 should fall vertically with re-
s pect
to the support point 1 .
● Continue turning the jack* until the wheel
i s

slightly lifted off the ground. WARNING
● Mak

e sure that the jack* remains stable. If
the surface is slippery or soft, the jack* could
slip or sink, respectively, with the resultant
risk of injury.
● Only raise the vehicle with the jack* sup-
plied b
y the manufacturer. Other vehicles
could slip, with the consequent risk of injury.
● Only mount the jack* on the support points
des
igned for this purpose on the strut, and
always align the jack correctly. If you do not, » 55

the jack* could slip as it does not have an
a
dequat
e grip on the vehicle: risk of injury!
● The height of the parked vehicle can
ch
ange as a result of variations in tempera-
ture and loading. CAUTION
The vehicle must not be raised on the cross-
b ar

. Only place the jack* on the points de-
signed for this purpose on the strut. Other-
wise, the vehicle may be damaged. Removing and fitting a wheel

Taking off the wheel ● Unscrew the wheel bolts using the box
sp
anner and place them on a clean surface.
● Take off the wheel.
Puttin
g on the spare wheel
When fitting tyres with a compulsory rotation
direction, observe the instructions in
››› page 56.
● Mount the wheel.
● Screw on the wheel bolts in position and
tight en them loo

sely with a box spanner.
● Carefully lower the vehicle using the jack*. ●
Tight en the wheel

bolts in diagonal pairs
using the wheel brace.
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn
easily. Before fitting the spare wheel, inspect
the wheel condition and hub mounting surfa-
ces. These surfaces must be clean before fit-
ting the wheel.
Tyres with compulsory direction of ro-
tation A directional tread pattern can be identified
b
y

the arrows on the sidewall that point in
the direction of rotation. Always observe the
direction of rotation indicated when fitting
the wheel to guarantee optimum properties
of this type of tyres with regard to grip,
noises, wear and aquaplaning.
If it is absolutely necessary to fit the spare
tyre* against the direction of rotation, drive
with care as this means the tyre does not of-
fer optimum driving properties. This is of par-
ticular importance when the road surface is
wet.
To return to directional tread tires, replace
the punctured tyre as soon as possible and
restore the obligatory direction of rotation of
all tyres. Subsequent work ●
Alloy wheels: rep
lace the wheel bolt caps.
● Plate wheels: fit the c
entral wheel rim again
››› page 54.
● Return all tools to their proper storing loca-
tion.
● If the replaced wheel does not fit in the
sp
are wheel housing, store it safely in the
luggage compartment ›››
 page 149.
● Check the tyre pressure of the newly moun-
ted ty
re as soon as possible.
● In vehicles fitted with a tyre pressure indi-
c at

or, adjust the pressure and store the read-
ing in the radio/Easy Connect system*
›››  page 295.
● Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts
checked as soon as possible with a tor-
que wrench (it should be 140 Nm). Mean-
while, drive carefully.
● Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as
pos
sible.
Snow chains Use Snow chains should only be used on the
