The essentials
the jack* could slip as it does not have an
a
dequat
e grip on the vehicle: risk of injury!
● The height of the parked vehicle can
ch
ange as a result of variations in tempera-
ture and loading. CAUTION
The vehicle must not be raised on the cross-
b ar
. Only place the jack* on the points de-
signed for this purpose on the strut. Other-
wise, the vehicle may be damaged. Removing and fitting a wheel
Change the wheel after loosening the wheel
bo
lts
and raising the vehicle with the jack.
Taking off the wheel ● Unscrew the wheel bolts using the box
sp
anner and place them on a clean surface.
● Take off the wheel.
Puttin
g on the spare wheel
When fitting tyres with a compulsory rotation
direction, observe the instructions in
››› page 56.
● Mount the wheel.
● Screw on the wheel bolts in position and
tight en them loo
sely with a box spanner.
● Carefully lower the vehicle using the jack*. ●
Tight en the wheel
bolts in diagonal pairs
using the wheel brace.
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn
easily. Before fitting the spare wheel, inspect
the wheel condition and hub mounting surfa-
ces. These surfaces must be clean before fit-
ting the wheel.
Tyres with compulsory direction of ro-
tation A directional tread pattern can be identified
b
y
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. Subsequent work ●
Alloy wheels: rep
lace the wheel bolt caps.
● Plate wheels: fit the c
entral wheel rim again
››› page 54.
● Return all tools to their proper storing loca-
tion.
● If the replaced wheel does not fit in the
sp
are wheel housing, store it safely in the
luggage compartment ›››
page 149.
● Check the tyre pressure of the newly moun-
ted ty
re as soon as possible.
● In vehicles fitted with a tyre pressure indi-
c at
or, adjust the pressure and store the read-
ing in the radio/Easy Connect system*
››› page 295.
● Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts
checked as soon as possible with a tor-
que wrench (it should be 140 Nm). Mean-
while, drive carefully.
● Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as
pos
sible.
Snow chains Use Snow chains should only be used on the
fr
on
t wheels.56

What affects driving safety? As a driver, you are responsible for yourself
and
y
our passengers. When your concentra-
tion or driving safety is affected by any cir- cumstance, you endanger yourself as well as
others
on the road ››› , for this reason:
– Always pay attention to traffic and do not
g et
distracted by passengers or telephone
calls.
– Never drive when your driving ability is im-
pair
ed (e.g. by medication, alcohol, drugs).
– Observe traffic laws and speed limits.
– Always reduce your speed as appropriate
for r
oad, traffic and weather conditions.
– When travelling long distances, take
bre
aks regularly - at least every two hours.
– If possible, avoid driving when you are tired
or str
essed. WARNING
When driving safety is impaired during a trip,
the ri sk
of injury and accidents increases. Safety equipment
Never put your safety or the safety of your
p
a
ssengers in danger. In the event of an acci-
dent, the safety equipment may reduce the
risk of injury. The following list includes most
of the safety equipment in your SEAT:

Opening and closing
CAUTION
The sensor surfaces on the door handles
c ou
ld engage if hit with a water jet or high
pressure steam if there is a valid vehicle key
in the proximity. If at least one of the win-
dows is open and the sensor surface B on
one of the h
andles permanently activates, all
windows will close. If the water jet or steam
is briefly moved away from the sensor surface A (arrow) on one of the handles and then
point ed at
it again, all the windows will prob-
ably open ››› page 118. Note
● If the
vehicle battery has little or no charge,
or the vehicle key battery is almost or entire-
ly out of charge, you will probably not be able
to lock or unlock the vehicle with the Keyless
Access system. The vehicle can be unlocked
or locked manually ››› page 85.
● To control the proper locking of the vehicle,
the rel
ease function is disabled for approx. 2
seconds.
● If the message Keyless access system
faulty is
displayed on the screen of the
dash panel, abnormalities may occur in the
operation of the Keyless Access system. Con-
tact a specialised workshop. SEAT recom-
mends visiting a SEAT dealership for this.
● Depending on the function set on the info-
tainment
system for the mirrors, the exterior
mirrors will unfold and the surround lighting
will come on when unlocking the vehicle us- ing the sensor surface on the driver and pas-
sen
g
er door handles ››› page 141.
● If there is no valid key inside the vehicle or
the sys
tem fails to detect one, a warning will
display on the dash panel screen. This could
happen if any other radio frequency signal in-
terferes with the key signal (e.g. from a mo-
bile device accessory) or if the key is covered
by another object (e.g. an aluminium case).
● If the sensors are very dirty, e.g. have a lay-
er of s
alt, how the sensors on the door han-
dles operate may be affected. In this case,
clean the vehicle.
● If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic
ge
arbox, it may only be locked in the gear
stick is in position P. Anti-theft security system (Safelock)*
The following message is displayed on the in-
s
trument
panel to remind the driver that
when the vehicle is closed from the outside,
the anti-theft security system is switched on. Do not forget the Safelock.
Please see Instruction Manual . The
vehicle cannot be opened from inside. This
makes it more difficult for unauthorised per-
sons to break into the vehicle ››› in De-
s c
ription on page 112.
The anti-theft security system can be switch-
ed off each time the vehicle is locked: ●
Turn the k
ey a second time to the lock posi-
tion, in the door lock, within two seconds. If
necessary, remove the protective cover on
the driver door handle ›››
page 9 or else
● Press on the remote control key for a
sec ond time
within 2 seconds.
The flashing frequency of the diode in the
door sill immediately confirms the process.
Initially, the diode flashes in a fast sequence
for a brief period, then it stops for approxi-
mately 30 seconds and, lastly continues
flashing slowly.

Operation
Tow rope
The t o
w rope must always be securely fixed
to the towing vehicle and loose enough so
that the vehicle can handle turns smoothly.
However, make sure that the cable does not
rub on the ground while driving.
Trailer rear lights
Always check the trailer's rear lights to en-
sure they are working correctly and that they
comply with the relevant safety regulations.
Make sure that the maximum permissible
power that can be absorbed by the trailer is
not exceeded ››› page 257.
Connection to the anti-theft system
The trailer is included in the anti-theft system
if the following conditions are met: ● If the vehicle is factory-equipped with an
anti-theft
alarm and towing bracket.
● If the trailer is electrically connected to the
to
wing vehicle through the trailer power
socket.
● If the electrical systems of the vehicle and
trai
ler are in perfect condition and have no
faults or damage.
● If the vehicle is locked with the key and the
anti-theft
alarm is activated.
When the vehicle is locked, the alarm is trig-
gered if the electrical connection with the
trailer is cut off. Before hitching or unhitching a trailer, always
turn off
the anti-theft alarm. Otherwise, the
tilt sensor could cause the alarm to go off.
Trailers with LED rear lights
For technical reasons, trailers fitted with LED
rear lights cannot be connected to the anti-
theft alarm system.
When the vehicle is locked, the alarm does
not go off when the electrical connection with
the trailer is cut if it has rear lights with light-
emitting diodes.
If the Eco driving profile was selected when
hitching the trailer, this will automatically
switch to the Normal profile. If the system
cannot detect the attached trailer or if the
towing bracket has been retrofitted by an au-
to repair shop other than SEAT, you must
manually select the Normal profile before you
start driving with a trailer attached. To recon-
nect the Eco profile once the trailer has been
unhitched, switch the ignition off and back
on once. WARNING
If the cables are improperly or incorrectly
c onnect
ed, it may lead to an excessive
amount of current supplied to the trailer,
which can cause abnormalities in the entire
vehicle electronic system, as well as acci-
dents and serious injuries. ●
En s
ure that any repairs that need to be car-
ried out on the electrical system are carried
out by a specialised workshop.
● Never connect the trailer's electric system
directly
to the electrical connections of the
tail lights or any other power sources. WARNING
Contact between the pins of the trailer power
soc k
et can cause short circuits, overloading
of the electrical system or failure of the light-
ing system, and consequently can cause acci-
dents and serious injuries.
● Never connect the pins of the trailer power
sock
et to each other.
● Make sure any work on bent pins is carried
out b
y a specialised workshop. CAUTION
Do not leave the trailer connected to the vehi-
c l
e when parked; place it on its support
wheel or its supports. If the vehicle rises or
falls due, for example, to a variation of the
load or a burst tyre, increased pressure will
be placed on the towing bracket and the trail-
er, and both the vehicle and the trailer can be
damaged. Note
