● Check the tyre pressure of the newly moun-
ted tyre a

● In vehicles fitted with a tyre pressure indi-
cator , a

● Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts chec
ked as soon as possible with a tor-
que wrench (it should be 120 Nm). Mean-
while, drive carefully.
● Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as
possib
le.
Snow chains Use Snow chains should only be used on the

s.
● Check that they are correctly seated after
driving for a f
ew yards; correct the position if necessary, in accordance with the manufac-
turer's fittin

g instructions.
● Keep your speed below 50 km/h (30 mph).
● If there is a danger of being trapped de-
spite hav
ing mounted the chains, it is best to
disable the driving wheels (ASR) in the ESC
›››  page 155.
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.
175/70R14
185/60R15Chains with links not exceeding 15 mm
(including the chain closure)
215/45R16Chains with links not exceeding 9 mm
(including the chain closure)
215/40R17Chains with links not exceeding 7 mm
(including the chain closure) Remove wheel covers and any integral trim
rin
g bef
ore fittin

g 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. WARNING
Snow chains should be correctly tightened in
accor d

ance with the manufacturer's instruc- tions. This will prevent the chains coming in-
to cont
act

with the wheel housing.50

gers, always note the following points
before every trip: –
Make sur
e that the vehicle's lights and turn
signals are working properly.
– Check tyre pressure.
– Ensure that all windows provide a clear and
good view of

the surroundings.
– Ensure that all luggage is correctly secured
››› p

age 135.
– Make sure that no objects can interfere
with the pedals.
– Adju

st front seat, head restraint and mir-
rors pr
operly according to your size.
– Ensure that the passenger in the central
rear seat

always has the head restraint in
the correct position for use.
– Instruct passengers to adjust the head re-
straints ac

cording to their height.
– Protect children with appropriate child
seats and properly

applied seat belts
››› page 72.
– Assume the correct sitting position. Instruct
your pas

sengers also to assume a proper
sitting position. ››› page 57.
– Fasten your seat belt securely. Instruct your

gers also to fasten their seat belts
properly. ››› page 61. What affects driving safety? As a driver, you are responsible for yourself
and your p
a

ssengers. When your concentra-
tion or driving safety is affected by any cir-
cumstance, you endanger yourself as well as
others on the road ››› , for this reason:
– Always pay attention to traffic and do not
get di s

tracted by passengers or telephone
calls.
– Never drive when your driving ability is im-
paired (e.g. b

y medication, alcohol, drugs).
– Observe traffic laws and speed limits.
– Always reduce your speed as appropriate
for ro a

d, traffic and weather conditions.
– When travelling long distances, take
breaks

regularly - at least every two hours.
– If possible, avoid driving when you are tired
or stres

sed. WARNING
When driving safety is impaired during a trip,
the risk of injur

y and accidents increases. Safety equipment
Never put your safety or the safety of your

gers in danger. In the event of an acci-
dent, the safety equipment may reduce the

Emergencies
●
Never st ar
t the engine when the vehicle is
on the jack. Risk of accident.
● If work is to be carried out underneath the
vehicle, thi
s must be secured by suitable
means. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury. Note
The jack does not generally require any main-
t enanc e. If

required, it should be greased us-
ing universal type grease. Spare wheel (temporary spare
wheel)*
The temporary spare wheel is stored under
the floor p
anel
in the lug g

age compartment
and is attached by a thumbnut.
How to use the temporary spare wheel
If you ever have a punctured tyre or loss of
pressure, the temporary spare wheel is only
intended for temporary use until you reach a
workshop. Change it for a duty wheel as soon
as possible.
Please note the following restrictions when
using the temporary spare wheel. This tem-
porary spare wheel has been specially de-
signed for your vehicle, thus, it cannot be
changed with the temporary spare wheel
from another vehicle. No other type of tyre (normal summer or win-
ter tyre) m

ay be fitted on the compact tempo-
rary spare wheel rim.
Snow chains
For technical reasons, snow chains must not
be used on the temporary spare wheel.
If you have a puncture on one of the front
wheels when using snow chains, fit the tem-
porary spare wheel in place of one of the rear
wheels. Fit the snow chains on the rear wheel
that you have removed and replace the punc-
tured front wheel with this wheel.
Extraction of the spare wheel in vehicles
with SEAT SOUND 6 speakers (with subwoof-
er)*
● Disassemble the subwoofer's floor p
anel
(carpet) as follows:
● Pull the carpet upwards to remove it.
● Disconnect the subwoofer's s
peaker cable.
● Turn the securing wheel anti-clockwise.
● Remove the subwoofer s
peaker and the
spare wheel.
● When replacing the spare wheel, place the
subwoofer s
peaker in the direction indicated
by the arrow and with the word “FRONT” fac-
ing forward.
● Reconnect the speaker cable and firmly ro-
tate the sec urin

g wheel clockwise so that the subwoofer syst
em and wheel
are firmly in
place. WARNING
● After fittin g the t

emporary spare wheel,
check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
Failure to do so may cause an accident. The
tyre pressures are listed on the inside of the
fuel tank flap.
● Do not drive at over 80 km/h (50 mph)
when the temporary
spare wheel is fitted on
the vehicle: risk of accident!
● Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and
fast
cornering: risk of accident!
● Never use more than one temporary spare
wheel at the same time, ri
sk of accident.
● No other type of tyre (normal summer or
winter tyr
e) may be fitted on the compact
temporary spare wheel rim. Tyre repair

The Anti-puncture kit* (Tyre Mobility System)
will reliably seal punctures caused by the
penetration of a foreign body of up to about
4 mm in diameter. Do not remove foreign ob-
jects, e.g. screws or nails, from the tyre.
76

Self-help
After inserting the sealant residue in the tyre,
y ou mu
st
again check the tyre pressure about
10 minutes after starting the engine.
You should only use the tyre mobility set if
the vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are
familiar with the procedure and you have the
necessary tyre mobility set! Otherwise, you
should seek professional assistance.
Do not use the tyre sealant in the following
cases:
● If the wheel rim has been damaged.
● In outside temperatures below -20 °C
(-4 °F).
● In the event of cuts or perforations in the
tyre gre
ater than 4 mm.
● If you have been driving with very low pres-
sure or a comp
letely flat tyre.
● If the sealant bottle has passed its use by
date. WARNING
Using the tyre mobility system can be dan-
gerou s, e

specially when filling the tyre at the
roadside. Please observe the following rules
to minimise the risk of injury:
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Park it at
a safe distance from surrounding
traffic to fill the tyre.
● Ensure the ground on which you park is flat
and solid. ●
All p

assengers and particularly children
must keep a safe distance from the work area.
● Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn
other road u
sers.
● Use the tyre mobility system only if you are
familiar w
ith the necessary procedures. Oth-
erwise, you should seek professional assis-
tance.
● The tyre mobility set is intended for tempo-
rary emer
gency use only until you can reach
the nearest specialised workshop.
● Replace the repaired tyre with the tyre mo-
bility set
as soon as possible.
● The sealant is a health hazard and must be
cleaned immedi
ately if it comes into contact
with the skin.
● Always keep the tyre mobility set out of the
reach of
small children.
● Never use a jack, even if it has been ap-
proved f
or your vehicle.
● Always stop the engine, apply the hand-
brake lev
er firmly and engage gear if using a
manual gearbox, in order to reduce the risk of
vehicle involuntary movement. WARNING
A tyre filled with sealant does not have the
same perf orm

ance properties as a conven-
tional tyre.
● Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).
● Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and
fast
cornering. ●
Drive for on ly

10 minutes at a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) and then check
the tyre. For the sake of the environment
Dispose of used or expired sealant observing
an y le

gal requirements. Note
● A new bottle of se a

lant can be purchased at
SEAT dealerships.
● Take into account the separate instruction
manual of

er. Contents of the tyre mobility system*
