The essentials
The jack may be applied only at the jacking
points sho
wn (m
arks on chassis) ››› Fig. 69.
The mark indicates the jacking points below
the vehicle. The jacking points are on the ribs
behind the front edges ››› Fig. 70. Always the
relevant jacking point for the wheel to be
changed ››› .
R ai
se the
vehicle using only the designated
jacking points.
For your own safety and that of other passen-
gers, the following points should be ob-
served in the order given:
Select a suitable flat and firm surface for
raising the vehicle.
Switch off the engine, engage a gear
(manual gearbox) or place the selector
lever in position P ›››
page 192 and
turn on the electronic parking brake
››› page 187.
Block the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel being changed with folding wheel
chocks* or other suitable objects.
When towing a trailer: unhook the trailer
from the towing vehicle and park it cor-
rectly.
Loosen the wheel bolts on the wheel to
be changed ››› page 46.
Look below the vehicle for the jacking
point ››› Fig. 69 closest to the tyre which
has to be changed.

6. Raise the jack with the handle until it
can be inser
ted below the jacking point.
Ensure that the foot of the jack is firmly
on the ground and that it is placed im-
mediately below the lifting point on the
vehicle ››› Fig. 70.
Straighten the jack and continue raising
it using the handle until the claw holds
the vertical reinforcement beneath the
vehicle ››› Fig. 70.
Raise the vehicle until the wheel is clear
of the ground. 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. 70. 7.

●
You shou l
d 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 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 the wheel

The essentials
Only secure the tow rope or tow bar to the
t o
wline anc
horage or specially designed fit-
ting.
Vehicles with a factory fitted towing device ,
can only be used for towing with a tow bar,
specially designed to fit on a tow hitch ball
››› page 234.
Towing vehicles with an automatic gearbox
Note the following for a towed vehicle: ● Make sure the gear selector lever is in the N
position.
● Do not
drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph).
● Do not tow further than 50 km (30 miles).
● If a breakdown truck is used, the vehicle
must
be towed with the front wheels raised.
Note the following instructions for towing
four all-wheel drive vehicles.
Instructions for towing all-wheel drive vehi-
cles
All-wheel drive vehicles can be towed using a
toolbar or tow rope. If the vehicle is towed
with the front or rear axle raised, the engine
must be turned off to avoid transmission
damage.
For vehicles with a double clutched DSG ®
(di-
rect shift gearbox) the instructions for towing
vehicles with an automatic gearbox apply
››› page 51. Situations in which a vehicle should not be
tow
ed
In the following cases, the vehicle should not
be towed but transported on a trailer or spe-
cial vehicle:
● If the vehicle gearbox does not contain lu-
bricant due t
o a fault.
● If the vehicle battery is flat and, as a result,
the electronic
steering lock and electronic
parking brake cannot be disengaged if ap-
plied.
● If the vehicle to be towed has an automatic
gearbo
x and the distance to be covered is
greater than 50 km (30 miles).
››› in Introduction on page 87
››› page 87 Tow-starting
In general, the vehicle should not be started
b
y
t
owing. Jump-starting is much more pref-
erable ›››
page 51.
For technical reasons, the following vehicles
can not be tow started:
● Vehicles with an automatic gearbox. ●
Vehicl
es with the Keyless Access locking
and ignition system, since the electronic
steering lock may not unlock.
● Vehicles with an electronic parking brake,
given that
it is possible that the brake will
not be disengaged.
● If the vehicle battery is flat, it is possible
that the en
gine control units do 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.
● Rel
ease the clutch when both vehicles are
movin
g.
● As soon as the engine starts, press the
clutc
h and move the gear lever into neutral.
This helps to prevent a collision with the tow-
ing vehicle.
How to jump start
Jump lea
ds If the engine fails to start because of a dis-
c
h
ar
ged battery, the battery of another vehi-
cle can be used to start the engine. Before » 51

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.
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
and the necessary safety measures, and if
you have the right kit! Otherwise, you should
seek professional assistance.
The tyre sealant should not be used in the
following cases:
● If the wheel is damaged.
● The outside temperature is lower than
-20°C (-4°F).
● If the t
ear or puncture on the tyre is over 4
mm wide. ●
If y
ou have driven with very low pressure or
a flat tyre.
● If the expiry date on the bottle of tyre seal-
ant ha
s passed. WARNING
Using the tyre mobility system can be dan-
ger ou
s, especially 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 is flat and firm.
● All occupants, and especially children,
should a
lways be at a safe distance outside
the work area.
● Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn
other roa
d users.
● Use the tyre mobility system only if you are
famili
ar with the necessary procedures. Oth-
erwise, you should seek professional assis-
tance.
● Only use the tyre mobility system in the
event of
an emergency to get to the nearest
workshop.
● Replace the repaired tyre with the tyre mo-
bility
set as soon as possible.
● The sealant is hazardous for your health
and if it t
ouches your skin, it must be imme-
diately washed off. ●
Keep c hi
ldren away from the tyre mobility
system.
● Never use a jack even if it is approved for
the vehic
le.
● To reduce the risk of the vehicle possibly
movin
g on its own, always turn off the en-
gine, set the electronic parking brake and put
the selector lever in position P or put into
gear if the gearbox is a manual. WARNING
A tyre filled with sealant does not have the
s ame per f
ormance properties as a conven-
tional tyre.
● Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).
● Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and
fas
t cornering.
● Drive for only 10 minutes at a maximum
speed of 80
km/h (50 mph) and then check
the tyre. For the sake of the environment
Once used or expired, dispose of the sealant
acc or
ding to legal provisions. Note
● Sea l
ant bottles can be purchased from
SEAT dealers.
● Observe the usage instructions provided by
the snow c
hain manufacturer. 85

Emergencies
Always remain aware to avoid collision
with the t
o
wing vehicle.
– More strength is required at the steering
wheel as the power steering does not op-
erate when the engine is switched off.
● As the driver of the towing vehicle:
– Acc
elerate gently and carefully.
– Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.
– Brake well in advance than usual and
brake gently. CAUTION
● Car ef
ully fit and remove the towline anchor-
age and its cover to avoid damage to the ve-
hicle (e.g. paintwork).
● When towing, fuel could enter the catalytic
conv
erter and cause damage! Note
● The v ehic
le can only be towed if the elec-
tronic parking brake and steering lock are de-
activated. If the vehicle has no power supply
or there is an electric system fault, the en-
gine must be started using jump leads to de-
activate the electronic parking brake and
electronic steering lock.
● Vehicles with the Keyless Access locking
and ignition syst
em should only be towed
with the ignition connected since, otherwise,
the electronic steering lock will not unlock. Fitting the front towline anchorage

able tool to firmly tighten the tow-
line anchorage in its location.
● After towing, remove the towline anchorage
by t
urning it clockwise and put the cover
back in place. CAUTION
● The to wline anc
horage must always be
completely and firmly tightened. Otherwise,
it could be released while towing and tow-
starting.
● Vehicles with a factory fitted towing brack-
et, can only
be used for towing with a tow
bar, specially designed to fit on a tow hitch
ball. Otherwise, the tow hitch ball and the ve-
hicle may be damaged. Otherwise, a tow rope
should be used. Towing advice
Towing requires some expertise and experi-
ence, e
s
pecially when using a tow rope. Both
drivers should be familiar with the technique
required for towing. For this reason, inexper-
ienced drivers should abstain.
While driving, avoid excessive traction forces
and jerking. When towing on an unpaved
road, there is always a risk of overloading
and damaging the anchorage points.
If the vehicle is towed, with the hazard warn-
ing lights on and the ignition switched on,
the turn signal may be used to indicate
changes of direction. Simply operate the turn
signal lever as usual. Meanwhile, the hazard
warning lights will go off. When the turn sig-
nal lever is returned to the rest position, the
hazard warning lights will be turned on auto-
matically.
Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle
● Leave the ignition on to avoid locking the
st eerin
g wheel, to release the electronic
parking brake and to activate the turn sig-
nals, the horn as well as the window wipers
and window 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 mu
st be depressed must harder
as the brake servo does not operate. Avoid
hitting the towing vehicle.
● Note the instructions and information con-
tained in the Ins
truction Manual for the vehi-
cle to be towed.
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
● Accelerate gently and carefully. Avoid sud-
den manoeuvr
es.
● Brake well in advance than usual and brake
gently.
