Important information about wheel bolts
The wheel rims and bolts 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
could be released while driving leading to
loss of vehicle control and serious damage.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The essentials

●

Only use wheel bolts which correspond to

the wheel rims in question.

●

Never use different wheel bolts.

●

The bolts and threads should be clean, free

of oil and grease and easy to thread.

●

To loosen and tighten the wheel bolts, al-

ways use the wheel brace supplied with the
vehicle.

●

Loosen the wheel bolts only about one turn

before raising the vehicle with the jack.

●

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.

●

Never loosen the bolted joints of wheel

rims with bolted ring trims.

●

If the wheel bolts are not tightened to the

correct torque, they may come loose while
driving, and the bolts and rims may come
out. If the tightening torque is too high, the
wheel bolts and threads can be damaged.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The essentials

WARNING

If the vehicle is not correctly raised, it could
fall 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 for 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 is 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,

place 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 claw 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 under a raised vehicle that is
solely supported by the jack.

●

If you have to work underneath the vehicle,

you must 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 is running.

●

Never start the engine when the vehicle is

raised. The vehicle may come loose from the
jack due to the engine vibrations.

page 37

WARNING

If the wheel bolts are not treated suitably or
not tightened to 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 clean 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 used for turning wheel bolts only.
Do not use it to loosen or tighten the wheel
bolts.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The essentials

Tyres with compulsory direction of ro-
tation

A directional tread pattern can be identified
by 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.

After the wheel change

●

Clean the vehicle tools, if necessary and

put them away in the luggage compartment
foam holder

›››



●

Store the spare wheel, the temporary spare

wheel or the changed wheel securely in the
luggage compartment.

●

Have the tightening 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

possible.

Snow chains

Use

When using snow chains, applicable local
legislation 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 size

Wheel rim

165/70 R14

5 J x 14 offset of 35

175/65 R14

SEAT recommends you ask a technical serv-
ice for further 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 fitting snow chains

›››

. The wheel bolts

should be covered 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 206

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
chains could lead to serious accidents and
damage.

●

Always the appropriate snow chains.

●

Observe the fitting instructions provided by

the snow chain manufacturer.

●

Never exceed the maximum permitted

speeds when driving with snow chains.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The essentials

CAUTION

●

Remove the snow chains to drive on roads

without snow. Otherwise they will impair
vehicle handling, damage the tyres and wear
out very quickly.

●

Wheel rims may be damaged or scratched if

the chains come into direct contact with
them. SEAT recommends the use of covered
snow chains.

Note

Snow chains are available in different sizes
according to the vehicle type.

Emergency towing of the vehi-
cle

Towing

›››



in Instructions for tow-starting on

Screw the front towline anchorage into the
screw connection

›››

Fig. 58

and tighten it

with the wheel brace.

Tow rope or tow bar
When towing, the tow bar is the safest and
vehicle friendly way. You should only use a
tow rope if you do not have a tow bar.

A tow rope should be slightly elastic to avoid
damage to both vehicles. It is advisable to
use a tow rope made of synthetic fibre or sim-
ilarly elastic material.

●

Only secure the tow rope or tow bar to the

towline anchorage or specially designed fit-
ting.

Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle

●

Keep the ignition running to prevent the

steering wheel from locking and also to allow
the use of the turn signals, horn, windscreen
wipers and washers.

●

As the power assisted steering does not

work if the engine is not running, you will
need more strength to steer than normally.

●

The brake must be depressed much harder

as the brake servo does not operate. Avoid
hitting the towing vehicle.

●

Note the instructions and information con-

tained in the Instruction Manual for the vehi-
cle to be towed.

Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle

●

Accelerate gently and carefully. Avoid sud-

den manoeuvres.

●

Brake well in advance than usual and brake

gently.

●

Note the instructions and information con-

tained in the Instruction Manual for the vehi-
cle to be towed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The essentials

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.

Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle
and take care to avoid jerking the tow rope.
When towing on an unpaved road, there is al-
ways a risk of overloading and damaging the
anchorage points.

Switch on the ignition so that the turn sig-
nals, windscreen wipers and windscreen
washer can work. Ensure that the steering
wheel is unlocked and moves freely.

Place the gear lever in neutral on vehicles
with a manual gearbox. With an automatic
gearbox, place the lever in

To brake, press the brake pedal firmly. The
brake servo does not work when the engine
is switched off.

The power steering only works when the igni-
tion is switched on and the vehicle is moving,
provided that the battery is sufficiently charg-
ed. Otherwise, it will need more force.

Ensure that the tow rope remains taut at all
times.

Tow-starting

In general, the vehicle should not be started
by towing. Jump-starting is much more pref-
erable

›››

page 43

For technical reasons, the following vehicles
can

not be tow started:

●

Vehicles with an automatic gearbox.

●

If the vehicle battery is flat, it is possible

that the engine control unit does not operate
correctly.

However, if your vehicle must absolutely be
tow-started (manual gearbox):

●

Put it into second or third gear.

●

Keep the clutch pressed down.

●

Switch on the ignition and the hazard warn-

ing lights.

●

Release the clutch when both vehicles are

moving.

●

As soon as the engine starts, press the

clutch and move the gear lever into neutral.
This helps to prevent a collision with the tow-
ing vehicle.

How to jump start

Jump leads

If the engine fails to start because of a dis-
charged battery, the battery of another vehi-
cle can be used to start the engine. Before
starting, check the magic eye on the battery

›››



page 196

For starting assistance, jump lead cables con-
forming to the standard DIN 72553 are re-
quired (see the cable manufacturer instruc-
tions). The cable section in vehicles with pet-
rol engine must be at least 25 mm

WARNING

Incorrect use of jump leads and incorrectly
jump starting could cause the battery to ex-
plode resulting in serious injury. Please ob-
serve the following rules to minimise the risk
of a battery explosion:

●

The battery providing current must have

the same voltage (12V) and approximately
the same capacity (see markings on battery)
as the flat battery.

●

Never charge a frozen or recently thawed

battery. A flat battery can also freeze at tem-
peratures close to 0 °C (+32 °F).

●

If a battery is frozen and/or has been frozen

then it must be replaced.

●

A highly explosive mixture of gases is re-

leased when the battery is being charged. Al-
ways keep lit cigarettes, flames, sparks and

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The essentials

fire far from the battery. Never use a mobile
telephone when connecting and removing the
jump leads.

●

Charge the battery only in well ventilated

areas given that when the battery is charged
by outside assistance, it creates a mix of
highly explosive gases.

●

Jump leads should never enter into contact

with moving parts in the engine compart-
ment.

●

Never switch the positive and negative

poles or connect the jump leads incorrectly.

●

Note the instruction manual provided by

the manufacturer of the jump leads.

CAUTION

To avoid considerable damage to the vehicle
electrical system, note the following careful-
ly:

●

If the jump leads are incorrectly connected,

this could result in a short circuit.

●

The vehicles must not touch each other,

otherwise electricity could flow as soon as
the positive terminals are connected.

The essentials

8. Start the engine of the vehicle with the flat

battery and wait for 2 or 3 minutes until
the engine is running.

Removing the jump leads
9. Before you remove the jump leads, switch

off the dipped beam headlights (if they
are switched on).

10.Turn on the heater blower and heated rear

window in the vehicle with the flat battery.
This helps minimise voltage peaks which
are generated when the leads are discon-
nected.

11.When the engine is running, disconnect

the leads in reverse order to the details
given above.

Make sure the battery clamps have sufficient
metal-to-metal contact with the battery termi-
nals.

If the engine fails to start, switch off the start-
er after about 10 seconds and try again after
about 1 minute.

WARNING

●

Please note the safety warnings referring to

working in the engine compartment

›››



page 186

●

The battery providing assistance must have

the same voltage as the flat battery (12V) and
approximately the same capacity (see imprint

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.
