Wheels and tyres
time to time according to the system
››› Fig. 174 . The useful life of all the tyres will
then be about the s
ame time.
SEAT recommends you take the vehicle to a
specialised workshop to have the tyres
changed.
Tyres that are over 6 years old
Tyres are subject to an ageing process as a
result of physical and chemical processes.
This may affect their performance. Tyres
which are stored for long periods of time
without being used, harden and become
more fragile than tyres which are in constant
use.
SEAT recommends that tyres over six years
old are replaced with new tyres. This also ap-
plies to tyres which appear to be in perfect
condition on the outside and which have a
tread depth within the values stipulated by
the Law ››› .
The date of manufacture, part of the tyre
identification number (TIN), indicates the age
of the tyre ››› page 238 .
St orin

g tyres
Mark tyres when you remove them to indicate
the direction of rotation (left, right, forwards,
backwards). This ensures you will be able to
mount them correctly when you replace
them. When removed, the wheels and/or
tyres should be stored in a cool, dry and pref- erably dark location. Do
not place tyres
mount

ed on the wheel in a vertical position.
Protect tyres not mounted on wheels from
dirt by storing them in suitable bags and
standing them on the ground on their tread. WARNING
Aggressive fluids or substances could result
in visible or invisible damage with the conse-
quent risks.
● Always ensure that tyres do not come into
contact with chemical products, oil, grease,
fuel, brake fluid or other aggressive substan-
ces. WARNING
Old tyres, even if they have never been used,
may lose air or burst unexpectedly while driv-
ing, resulting in serious accident or damage.
● If tyres are over six years old, they should
only be used in an emergency and with ex-
treme caution. For the sake of the environment
Old tyres must be disposed of by qualified
personnel according to the laws in the coun-
try concerned. Wheel rims
The design of wheel bolts is matched to the
rims. If different rims are fitted, the correct
wheel bolts with the right length and correct-
ly shaped bolt heads must be used. This en-
sures that wheels are fitted securely and that
the brake system functions correctly
››› page 246.
F or t

echnical reasons, it is not generally pos-
sible to use the wheels from other vehicles.
In some cases, this may also be true for the
same model of wheel.
The tyres and rims approved by SEAT are spe-
cially matched to the characteristics of the
vehicle and are critical to good road holding
and safe handling.
Note for Italy: A SEAT Service Centre should
be c on

sulted whether different sized wheels
or tyres to those originally fitted by SEAT may
be fitted, as well as the combinations al-
lowed between the front axle (axle 1) and
back axle (axle 2).

WARNING
If the folding chocks are assembled or used
incorrectly, an accident may occur and seri-
ous injury caused.
● Never use damaged chocks.
● Never use chocks to immobilize the vehicle
on a slope. Changing a wheel*
Introduction The tyres mounted on the vehicle are anti-
puncture. The wheels should only be
changed when switching from summer to
winter tyres or vice-versa. See
›››
page 237
The vehicle only comes with the necessary
tools for changing wheels if factory supplied
with winter tyres. If this is not the case, you
need to go to a specialised workshop to get
the wheels changed.
You should only change the wheels yourself if
the vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are
familiar with the procedure and safety stand-
ards and you have all the necessary tools!
Otherwise, you should seek professional as-
sistance. WARNING
Changing a wheel can be dangerous, espe-
cially on the hard shoulder. Please observe
the following rules to minimise the risk of in-
jury:
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Park at a safe distance from surrounding traf-
fic to change a wheel.
● When changing a wheel, keep all passen-
gers, and particularly children, a safe dis-
tance away from the work area.
● Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn
other road users.
● Ensure the ground on which you park is flat
and solid. If necessary, support the jack on a
wide solid base.
● If you are changing a wheel yourself, you
should be familiar with the required proce-
dure. Otherwise, you should seek professio-
nal assistance.
● Only use suitable tools that are not dam-
aged when changing a wheel.
● Always stop the engine, turn on the elec-
tronic parking brake and place the gear selec-
tor lever in position P, for an automatic gear-
box, or engage a gear for a manual gearbox to
reduce the risk of the vehicle moving acciden-
tally.
● Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts checked as soon as possible with a reli-
able torque wrench. WARNING
If the wheel trims are not appropriate or not
fitted correctly, they could cause major acci-
dents or damage.
● Incorrectly mounted wheel trims may come
off while driving and endanger other road
users.
● Damaged trims must never be mounted on
the wheels.
● Always ensure that the brake ventilation
and cooling is not cut off or blocked. This is
also valid if hubcaps are fitted later. If there
is not enough air, you may require signifi-
cantly longer braking distances. CAUTION
Remove and remount wheel trims taking care
to avoid damage to the vehicle. 246

Advice
If the wheel bolt is very tight, you may be
able to loosen it by pushing down on the end
of the wheel brace carefully with your foot.
Hold on to the vehicle for support and take
care not to slip.
Loosening wheel bolts
● Fit the wheel brace as far as it will go over
the wheel bolt ››› Fig. 185 .
● Ho l
d the wheel brace at the end and rotate
the bolt approximately one turn anticlockwise
››

› .
Loosening anti-theft wheel bolts
For wheels with full trim, the anti-theft wheel
lock must be threaded into position
››› Fig. 186 2 or
3 . Otherwise it will not be
possible to mount the entire hubcap.
● Take the adapter for anti-theft wheel bolts
out of the vehicle tool kit.
● Insert the adapter onto the anti-theft wheel
bolt.
● Fit the wheel brace onto the adapter as far
as possible.
● Hold the wheel brace at the end and rotate
the bolt approximately one turn anticlockwise

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
140 Nm.
Hav e the tight

ening 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
tor

que.
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.
● 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. 248

Advice
●
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. Changing a wheel

● Screw on the anti-theft locking bolt with
the adapter in position ››› Fig. 186 2 or
3 clockwise and tighten gently.
●
Replace the other wheel bolts and tighten
slightly using the hexagonal socket on the
end of the wheel

brace.
● Lower the car with the jack.
● Tighten all of the wheel bolts clockwise
››› . Tighten the bolts in diagonal pairs (not
in a circle).
● Put the caps, trim or full hubcap back on
››› page 247 . 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. After changing the wheel
●
Clean the wheel brace, if necessary, and
put it away in the boot ››› page 244.
● Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts checked as soon as possible with a tor-
que wrench ››› page 248. Note
If the vehicle is fitted with a tyre monitoring
system, this should be “reprogrammed” if
necessary whenever a tyre is changed
››› page 179. Tyre repair
TMS (Tyre Mobility System)* 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-
j

ects, e.g. screws or nails, from the tyre.
Once the sealant is in the tyre, make sure to
check the pressure after 10 minutes driving.
If the vehicle has more than one damaged
tyre, seek professional assistance. The tyre
mobility system is designed for filling one
tyre.
Only use the tyre mobility system if the vehi-
cle is properly parked, you know how to do it

Technical specifications
Towing a trailer Trailer weights Trailer weight
The trailer weights and drawbar loads ap-
proved are selected in intensive trials accord-
ing to precisely defined criteria. The ap-
proved trailer weights are valid for vehicles in
the EU
for maximum speeds of 80 km/h (50
mph) (in c ertain circumstances up to 100
km/h (62 mph)). The figures may be different
in other countries. All data in the official vehi-
cle documentation takes precedence over
these data at all times ››› .
Drawbar loads
The maximum
permitted drawbar load on the
b

all joint of the towing bracket must not ex-
ceed
100 kg.
In the interest of road safety, we recommend
that you always tow approaching the maxi-
mum drawbar load. The response of the trail-
er on the road will be poor, if the drawbar
load is too small.
If the maximum permissible drawbar load
cannot be met (e.g. with small, empty and
light-weight single axle trailers or tandem
axle trailers with a wheelbase of less than 1
metre), a minimum of 4% of the actual trailer
weight is legally required for the drawbar
load. WARNING
● For safety reasons, do not exceed the 80
km/h (50 mph) limit. This is also valid in
countries where higher speeds are permitted.
● Never exceed the maximum trailer weights
or the drawbar load. If the permissible axle
load or the permissible total weight is excee-
ded, the driving characteristics of the vehicle
may change, leading to accidents, injuries
and damage to the vehicle. Wheels
Tyre pressure, snow chains, wheel
bolts Tyre pressures
The sticker with the tyre pressure values can
be found on the inside of the fuel tank flap.
The tyre pressure values given there are for
cold
tyres. The slightly raised pressures of
w arm ty

res must not be reduced. ››› Snow chains
Snow chains may be fitted only to the
front
wheels .
C on

sult the section “wheels” of this manual. Wheel bolts
After the wheels have been changed, the
tightening torque
of the wheel bolts should
be checked as soon as possible with a torque
wrench ››› . The tightening torque for steel
and alloy wheels is 140 Nm. WARNING
● Check the tyre pressure at least once per
month. Checking the tyre pressure is very im-
portant. If the tyre pressure is too high or too
low, there is an increased danger of accidents
- particularly at high speeds.
● If the tightening torque of the wheel bolts
is too low, they could loosen while the vehi-
cle is in motion. Risk of accident! If the tight-
ening torque is too high, the wheel bolts and
threads can be damaged. Note
We recommend that you ask your Technical
Service for information about appropriate
wheel, tyre and snow chain size. 276
