Fitting hubcaps
● It is necessary to press the hubcap against
the wheel so that
the space for the valve fits

Hold on to the vehicle for support and take
care not to slip.

››› .Important information about wheel bolts
The wheel
rims and bo

lts have been de-
signed to be fitted to factory options. If differ-
ent rims are fitted, the correct wheel bolts
with the right length and correctly shaped
bolt heads must be used. This ensures that
wheels are fitted securely and that the brake
system functions correctly.
In some circumstances, wheel bolts from the
same model vehicle should not be used.
Wheel bolt tightening torque
The prescribed tightening torque for wheel
bolts for steel and alloy wheels is 110 Nm.
Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts
checked as soon as possible with a reliable
torque wrench.
If wheel bolts are rusty and it is difficult to
tighten them, the threads should be replaced
and cleaned before checking the tightening
torque.
Never grease or lubricate wheel bolts or the
wheel hub threads. Although they have been
tightened to the prescribed torque, they
could come loose while driving. WARNING
If the wheel bolts are not fitted correctly they
cou l

d be released while driving leading to
loss of vehicle control and serious damage. 38

The essentials
WARNING
If the vehicle is not correctly raised, it could
fa l
l off the jack causing serious injury. Please
observe the following rules to minimise the
risk of injury:
● You should only use a jack approved by
SEAT f
or your vehicle. Other jacks, even those
approved for other SEAT models, might slip
out of place.
● The ground should be firm and flat. If the
ground i
s sloped or soft then the vehicle
could slip and fall off the jack. If necessary,
support the jack on a wide solid base.
● If the ground is slippery, such as tiles,
plac
e a non-slip surface (a floor mat, for in-
stance) beneath the jack to avoid slipping.
● Only fit the jack at the prescribed jacking
points. The c
law of the jack should grip the
reinforcement nerve on the underbody
››› Fig. 56.
● You should never place a body limb such as
an arm or leg u
nder a raised vehicle that is
solely supported by the jack.
● If you have to work underneath the vehicle,
you mus
t use suitable stands additionally to
support the vehicle, there is a risk of acci-
dent!.
● Never raise the vehicle if it is tilting to one
side or the engine i
s running.
● Never start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.
The vehicle may come loose from the
jack due to the engine vibrations. Removing and fitting a wheel

Changing a wheel: loosen wheel bolts

et at the end of the wheel brace Change the wheel after loosening the wheel

lts
and r

Removing the wheel
● Slacken the wheel bolts ›››
page 38.
● Raise the vehicle ›››
page 39.
● Using the hexagonal socket in the wheel
brace ›

›› Fig. 57, unscrew the slackened
wheel bolts and place them on a clean sur-
face.
● Take off the wheel.
How to u
se the spare wheel or temporary
spare wheel
Check the direction of rotation of the tyre
›››  page 208, Tyre code. ●
Place the s
pare wheel or temporary spare
wheel into position.
● Replace the wheel bolts and tighten slight
-
ly using the hexagonal socket on the end of
the wheel brace.
● To tighten the anti-theft locking wheel bolts
use the corr
esponding adaptor.
● Lower the car with the jack.
● Tighten all of the wheel bolts clockwise
›››
. Tighten the bolts in diagonal pairs (not
in a c ir
c
le).
● Put the caps, trim or full hubcap back on
›››
page 37. WARNING
If the wheel bolts are not treated suitably or
not tight ened t

o the correct torque then this
could lead to loss of vehicle control and to a
serious accident.
● All the wheel bolts and hub threads should
be cle
an and free of oil and grease. The wheel
bolts should be easily tightened to the cor-
rect torque.
● The hexagonal socket in the wheel brace
should be u
sed for turning wheel bolts only.
Do not use it to loosen or tighten the wheel
bolts. 40

The essentials
Tyres with compulsory direction of ro-
t ation A directional tread pattern can be identified
by
the arr
ows 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.
After the wheel change ●
Clean the vehicle tools, if necessary and
p ut
them a

way in the luggage compartment
foam holder ›››
 page 70.
● Store the spare wheel, the temporary spare
wheel or the ch
anged wheel securely in the
luggage compartment. ●
Have the tightenin
g torque of the wheel
bolts checked as soon as possible with a tor-
que wrench ››› page 38.
● Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as
poss
ible.
Snow chains Use When using snow chains, applicable local
l
e
gi

slation and maximum permitted speed
limits must be observed.
In winter weather, snow chains not only help
to improve grip but also improve the braking
capacity.
The fitting of chains is permitted only on
front wheels and with the following combi-
nations of wheel trims and tyres :
Tyre sizeWheel rim
165/70 R145 J x 14 offset of 35175/65 R14 SEAT recommends you ask a technical serv-
ic
e f
or f

urther information on wheel, tyre and
chain sizes.
Wherever possible use fine-link chains meas-
uring less than 15 mm including the lock. Remove wheel hub covers and trim rings be-
fore fittin

g snow chains ››› . The wheel bolts
shou l
d be c
overed with caps for safety rea-
sons. These are available from technical serv-
ices.
Temporary spare wheel
For technical reasons, snow chains must not
be used on the compact temporary spare
wheel ›››
 page 207.
If it is necessary to fit chains with the tempo-
rary spare wheel in use, install the wheel on
the rear axle in the event of a fault in a front
wheel. Then, fit the rear wheel that is free, in-
stead of the damaged front wheel. In this sit-
uation, observe the rotating direction of the
wheels. SEAT recommends attaching the
snow chains before fitting the wheel. WARNING
The use of unsuitable or incorrectly fitted
ch ain

s could lead to serious accidents and
damage.
● Always the appropriate snow chains.
● Observe the fitting instructions provided by
the snow c
hain manufacturer.
● Never exceed the maximum permitted
speeds
when driving with snow chains. » 41
