The essentials
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
Change the wheel after loosening the wheel
bo
lts

and raising the vehicle with the jack.
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
fr
on

t wheels.56

The essentials
Check that they are correctly seated after
driv in
g for a few yards; correct the position if
necessary, in accordance with the manufac-
turer's fitting instructions. Keep your speed
below 50 km/h (30 mph).
If there is a danger of being trapped despite
having mounted the chains, it is best to disa-
ble the driving wheels (ASR) in the ESC
›››  page 174, Switching on/off the ESC
and ASR.
Snow chains will improve braking ability as
well as traction in winter conditions.
For technical reasons snow chains may only
be used with the following wheel rim/tyre
combination.
215/60 R16Chains with links of maximum 15 mm
215/55 R17Chains with links of maximum 15 mm
215/50 R18Chains with links of maximum 15 mm
Other dimensions do not allow chains Remove any central wheel trims and the rim
rin
g bef

ore fitting snow chains.
Remove the chains when roads are free of
snow. Driving characteristics worsen, and the
wheels become damaged quickly and may
even be rendered unusable. Emergency towing of the vehi-

Screw the towline anchorage into the screw
connection ››› Fig. 74 o ››› Fig. 75 and tighten
it with the wheel brace.
Tow rope or tow bar
The tow bar offers increased safety and a
lower risk of damage.
The tow rope is recommended when there is
no tow bar. It must be elastic so that it does
not damage the vehicle.
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
● The tow rope must be taut before you drive
off.
● R

elease the clutch very carefully when start-
ing the
vehicle (manual gearbox), or acceler-
ate gently (automatic gearbox).
Driving style
Towing requires some experience, especially
when using a tow rope. Both drivers should
realise how difficult it is to tow a vehicle. In-
experienced drivers should not attempt to
tow. » 57

Operation
after four seconds (does not affect the tone
of the c
onstant warning).
In order to view the entire periphery of the ve-
hicle, the vehicle must be moved a few me-
tres forwards and backwards. Thus the miss-
ing areas are screened and the periphery of
the vehicle is calculated.
Special features of ParkPilot with Area View
In the following situations the screened area
on the side of the vehicle is automatically
hidden:
● When a vehicle door is opened.
● When the ASR is switched off.
● When there is ASR or ESC regulation.
● If the vehicle remains stationary for more
than ap
proximately 3 minutes. WARNING
● Alw

ays pay attention, also when looking
straight ahead, to traffic and the vehicle sur-
roundings. The assistance systems are not a
replacement for driver awareness. When in-
serting or removing the vehicle from a park-
ing space, or when performing similar ma-
noeuvres the driver always assumes the re-
sponsibility.
● Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times
to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions. ●
The u ltr

asound sensors have blind spots in
which obstacles and people are not regis-
tered. Pay special attention to children and
animals.
● Always keep visual control of the vehicle
surr
oundings: use the mirrors for additional
help. CAUTION
Parking Aid functions may be negatively af-
f ect

ed by different factors that may lead to
damage to the vehicle or its immediate sur-
rounds:
● Under certain circumstances, the system
does
not detect or display certain objects:
– Objects such as chains, trailer draw bars,
fences, posts and thin trees.
– Objects that are located above the sen-
sors, such as protrusions in a wall.
– Objects with certain surfaces or struc-
tures, such as wire mesh fences or pow-
der snow.
● Certain surfaces of objects and garments
do not r
eflect the ultrasound sensors' sig-
nals. The system cannot detect these objects
or people wearing such clothes correctly.
● Ultrasound sensor signals may be affected
by
external sound sources. In certain circum-
stances this may prevent them from detect-
ing people or objects.
● Please note that low obstacles detected by
the sys
tem may no longer be registered by the sensors as the car moves closer, so the
sy
s

tem will not give any further warning. In
certain circumstances, objects such as high
kerbs that could damage the bottom of the
vehicle are not detected either.
● If the first warning from the ParkPilot is ig-
nored, the
vehicle could suffer considerable
damage.
● The knocks or damage on the radiator
gril
le, bumper, wheel arch and vehicle under-
body can adjust the orientation of the sen-
sors. This can affect the parking aid function.
In this case, have the function checked by a
specialised workshop.
● A registration plate or plate holder on the
front
with larger than the space for the regis-
tration plate, or a registration plate that is
curved or warped can cause:
– false detections,
– loss of sensor visibility. Note
● In c er

tain situations, the system can give a
warning even though there is no obstacle in
the detected area, e.g:
–with rough or cobbled floors or ground
with long grass;
– with external ultrasound sources, such as
cleaning vehicles or other vehicles equip-
ped with ultrasound systems;
– in downpours, intense snow, hail or
dense exhaust gases, 240

Advice
The four-wheel drive is specially designed to
c omp
lement the superior engine power. This
combination gives the vehicle exceptional
handling and performance capabilities, both
on normal roads and in more difficult condi-
tions, such as snow and ice. Even so (or per-
haps especially for this reason), it is impor-
tant to observe certain safety points ››› .
W int

er tyres
Thanks to four-wheel drive, your vehicle will
have plenty of traction in winter conditions,
even with the standard tyres. Nevertheless,
we still recommend that winter tyres or all-
season tyres be fitted on all four wheels to
give even better braking response.
Snow chains
On roads where snow chains are mandatory,
this also applies to cars with four-wheel drive
›››  page 56.
Changing tyres
On vehicles with four-wheel drive, all four
tyres must have the same rolling circumfer-
ence. Also avoid using tyres with varying
tread depths ››› page 293.
Off-roader?
Your SEAT is not an off-road vehicle: it does
not have enough ground clearance to be
used as such. It is therefore best to avoid rough tracks and uneven terrain as much as
pos

sible. WARNING
● Ev

en with four-wheel drive, you should al-
ways adjust your speed to suit the condi-
tions. Do not let the extra safety features
tempt you into taking any risks when driving.
Risk of accident!
● The braking capability of your vehicle is
limited b
y the tyres' grip. It is therefore no
different from a car without four-wheel drive.
So do not be tempted to drive too fast on firm
or slippery roads just because the vehicle
still has good acceleration in these condi-
tions. Risk of accident!
● On wet roads bear in mind that the front
wheels
may start to “aquaplane” and lose
contact with the road if the car is driven too
fast. If this should happen, there will be no
sudden increase in engine speed to warn the
driver, as occurs with a front-wheel drive car.
For this reason you should always choose a
driving speed suitable for the road condi-
tions. Risk of accident! Power Management
Thi s

system helps to ensure reliable
starting The power management controls the distribu-
tion of
el

ectrical energy and thus helps to en- sure that there is always enough power avail-
abl

e to start the engine.
If a vehicle with a conventional electrical sys-
tem is left parked for a long time, the battery
will gradually lose its charge because certain
electrical devices, such as the electronic
gearbox lock continues to draw current even
when the ignition is off. In some cases there
may not be enough power available to start
the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent
power management system to control the
distribution of electrical energy. This signifi-
cantly improves reliability when starting the
engine, and also prolongs the useful life of
the battery.
The main functions incorporated in the power
management system are battery diagnosis,
residual current management and dynamic
power management.
Battery diagnosis
The battery diagnosis function constantly
registers the condition of the battery. Sen-
sors detect the battery voltage, battery cur-
rent and battery temperature. This enables
the system to calculate the current power lev-
el and charge condition of the battery.
Residual current management
The residual current management reduces
power consumption while the vehicle is

Wheels
Tyre monitoring indicator Fig. 227
Instrument panel: warning of loss of
ty r
e pressure. The tyre monitor indicator compares wheel
r
ev

olutions and, with this information, the
tread of each wheel using the ABS sensors. If
the rolling circumference of one or more
wheels has changed, the tyre monitoring in-
dicator will indicate this on the instrument
panel through a warning lamp and a warning
to the driver ››› Fig. 227. When only one spe-
cific tyre is affected, its position within the
vehicle will be indicated.
 Loss of pressure: Check left
tyre pressure! Wheel tread change
The wheel tr

ead changes when:
● Tyre pressure is manually changed
● Tyre pressure is insufficient
● Tyre structure is damaged
● The vehicle is unbalanced because of a
loa
d
● The wheels on an axle are subject to a
heav
ier load (e.g. with a heavy load).
● The vehicle is fitted with snow chains
● The temporary spare wheel is fitted
● The wheel on one axle is changed
There m
ay be a delay in the reaction of the
tyre  monitoring indicator or it may not in-
dicate anything under certain circumstances
(e.g. sporty driving, snow-covered or un-
paved roads, or when driving with snow
chains).
Calibrating the tyre monitoring indica-
tor After changing the tyre pressure or replacing
one or mor
e wheel

s, the tyre monitoring indi- cator must be recalibrated. Do the same, for
ex

ample, when the front and rear wheels are
swapped.
● Switch the ignition on.
● Save the new tyre pressure in the Easy Con-
nect sy
stem1)
by using the  button and the
Set up function button
››

›
 page 26.
When driving, the system self-calibrates the
tyre pressure provided by the driver and the
wheels fitted. After a long journey with varied
speeds the programmed values are collected
and monitored.
With the wheels under very heavy loads, the
tyre pressure must be increased to the total
recommended tyre pressure before the cali-
bration ››› page 303. Note
● The ty r

e monitoring indicator does not
function when there is a fault in the ESC or
ABS ››› page 173.
● An erroneous indication may be given when
sno
w chains are in use because they increase
the tread of the wheel. 1)
In vehicles that are not equipped with the Easy
C onnect
