Checking and refilling levels
202•Avoid running the vehicle on tyres that are more than 6 years old. If you 
have no alternative, you should drive slowly and with extra care at all 
times.•Never use old tyres or those with an unknown history of use.•If wheel trims are retrofitted, you must ensure that the flow of air to the 
brakes is not restricted. This could cause them to overheat.•All four wheels must be fitted with radial tyres of the same type, size 
(rolling circumference) and the same tread pattern.For the sake of the environment
Old tyres must be disposed of according to the laws in the country concerned.
Note
•For technical reasons, it is not generally possible to use the wheels from 
other vehicles. This can also apply to wheels of the same model. The use of 
wheels or tyres which have not been  approved by SEAT for use with your 
model may invalidate the vehicle’s type approval for use on public roads.•If the spare tyre is not the same as the tyres that are mounted on the 
vehicle (e.g. winter tyres) you should only use the spare tyre for a short period 
of time and drive with extra care. Refit the normal road wheel as soon as 
possible.Wheel bolts
Wheel bolts must be tightened to the correct torque.The design of wheel bolts is matched to the rims. If different wheel 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 certain circumstances, you should not use wheel bolts from a different 
vehicle, even if it is the same model 
⇒page 175.
WARNING
If the wheel bolts are not tightened correctly, the wheel could become 
loose while driving. Risk of accident.•The wheel bolts must be clean and turn easily. Never apply grease or oil 
to them.•Use only wheel bolts which belong to the wheel.•If the prescribed torque of the wheel bolts is too low, they could loosen 
whilst the vehicle is in motion. Risk of accident! If the tightening torque is 
too high, the wheel bolts and threads can be damaged.Caution
The prescribed tightening torque for wheel bolts for steel and alloy wheels is 
120 Nm.Winter tyres
Winter tyres will improve the vehicles handling on snow and 
ice.In winter conditions winter tyres will considerably improve the vehicle’s 
handling. The design of summer tyres (width, rubber compound, tread 
pattern) gives less grip on ice and snow.
Winter tyres must be inflated to a pressure  0.2 bar higher than the pressures 
specified for summer tyres (see sticker on tank flap).

If and when
210Anti-theft wheel bolts*
A special adapter is required to turn the anti-theft wheel 
bolts. This is found in the tool box.– Insert the adapter onto the wheel bolt and push it on as far as it 
will go  ⇒fig. 131 .
– Fit the box spanner as far as it will go over the adapter.
– Loosen or tighten the wheel bolt as appropriate.Code
The code number of the anti-theft wheel bolt is stamped onto the front part of 
the adaptor.
The code number should be noted and kept in a safe place, as it is only by 
using the code number that a duplicate adaptor can be obtained from an 
Authorised Service Centre.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
Tyres with directional tread pattern must be fitted so that they 
rotate in the correct direction.A directional tread pattern can be identified by arrows on the sidewall that 
point in the direction of rotation. Always note the direction of rotation indi-
cated when fitting the wheel. This is important so that these tyres can give 
maximum grip and avoid excessive noise, tread wear and aquaplaning.
If, in an emergency, you have to fit the spare wheel so it rotates in the wrong 
direction, you must drive extremely carefully. The tyre will not give optimum 
performance. This is particularly important when driving on wet roads.
To benefit from the advantages of tyres with this type of tread pattern, the 
defective tyre should be replaced as soon as possible so that all tyres again 
rotate in the correct direction.Tyre repair kit (Tyre-Mobility-System)*General information and safety notesYour vehicle is equipped with a tyre repair kit: the  Tyre  Mobilit y System.
In the event of a tyre puncture, a  sealing compound and an air compressor are 
located in the luggage compartment under the floor panel.
The Tyre Mobility System will reliably seal punctures caused by the penetra-
tion of a foreign body of up to about 4 mm in diameter.
It is not necessary to remove the foreign body from the tyre.
Instructions for the sealing compound are located on the sealing compound 
container.
