Tyre monitoring indicator Fig. 245
Instrument panel: warning of loss of
ty r
e pr
essure. The tyre monitor indicator compares wheel
r
ev
o

lutions and, with this information, the
tread of each wheel using the ABS sensors. If
the rolling circumference of one or more
wheels has changed, the tyre monitoring in-
dicator will indicate this on the instrument
panel through a warning lamp and a warning
to the driver ››› Fig. 245. When only one spe-
cific tyre is affected, its position within the
vehicle will be indicated.
 Loss of pressure: Check left
tyre pressure! Wheel tread change
The wheel tre

ad changes when:
● Tyre pressure is manually changed
● Tyre pressure is insufficient
● Tyre structure is damaged
● The vehicle is unbalanced because of a
load
● The wheel

s on an axle are subject to a
heavier lo
ad (e.g. with a heavy load).
● The vehicle is fitted with snow chains
● The temporary spare wheel is fitted
● The wheel on one axle is changed
There ma
y be a delay in the reaction of the
tyre  monitoring indicator or it may not in-
dicate anything under certain circumstances
(e.g. sporty driving, snow-covered or un-
paved roads, or when driving with snow
chains).
Calibrating the tyre monitoring indica-
tor After changing the tyre pressure or replacing
one or mor
e wheel
s, the ty

re monitoring indi-cator must be recalibrated. Do the same, for
examp

le, when the front and rear wheels are
swapped.
● Switch the ignition on.
● Store the new tyre pressure in the Easy

TINGS function button

 page 33.
● In vehicles without radio : pres
s and hold
down the   button with the ignition on,
until an acoustic signal is heard.
When driving, the system self-calibrates the
tyre pressure provided by the driver and the
wheels fitted. After a long journey with varied
speeds the programmed values are collected
and monitored.
With the wheels under very heavy loads, the
tyre pressure must be increased to the total
recommended tyre pressure before the cali-
bration ››› page 319. Note
● The tyr e monit

oring indicator does not
function when there is a fault in the ESC or
ABS ››› page 189. »1)
In vehicles that are not equipped with the Easy
Connect sy

stem, the switch for adjusting tyre pres-
sure is located in the centre console next to the haz-
ard warning lights. 313

Advice
●
An erroneou s
indication may be given when
snow chains are in use because they increase
the tread of the wheel. Temporary spare wheel
Genera l

information Fig. 246
Compact temporary spare wheel:
r ai
sed floor p

anel. The temporary spare wheel has been de-
s
igned t
o be u

sed for short periods of time.
Have the tyres checked and replaced as soon
as possible at a SEAT Official Service or at a
specialised workshop.
Please note the following restrictions when
using the compact temporary spare wheel.
The compact temporary spare wheel is de-
signed specifically for this model. For this reason, do not use a temporary spare wheel
from a differ

ent type of vehicle.
Removing the temporary spare wheel – Lift and hold up the floor panel to remove
the temporar

y spare wheel.
– Turn the thumb wheel anti-clockwise
›››
Fig. 246.
– Take out the temporary spare wheel.
Chains
F

or technical reasons, snow chains must not
be used on the temporary spare wheel.
If you have a puncture on one of the front
wheels when using snow chains, fit the tem-
porary spare wheel in place of one of the rear
wheels. Fit the snow chains on the rear wheel
that you have removed and replace the punc-
tured front wheel with this wheel. WARNING
● Aft er fittin

g the temporary spare wheel,
check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
Failure to do so may cause an accident. The
tyre pressure is listed on the back of the left
front door frame ››› Fig. 242.
● Do not drive at over 80 km/h (50 mph)
when the temporar
y spare wheel is fitted on
the vehicle: risk of accident!
● Never travel more than 200 km using a tem-
porary
spare wheel. ●
Av oid he

avy acceleration, hard braking and
fast cornering: risk of accident!
● Never use more than one temporary spare
wheel at the s
ame time, risk of accident.
● No other type of tyre (normal summer or
winter ty
re) may be fitted on the compact
temporary spare wheel rim.
● If you are driving using the spare wheel,
the ACC
system could automatically switch
off during the journey. Switch off the system
when starting off. Extraction of the spare wheel in vehi-

Wheels
To remove the spare wheel, you must first re-
mo v
e the s
ubwoofer.
● Lift and secure the luggage compartment
floor as de
scribed in ››› page 168.
● Disconnect the subwoofer
››› Fig. 247 1 speaker cable.
●
Turn the securing wheel in an anti-clock-
w i
se dir

ection ››› Fig. 247 2 .
● Remove the s ub
woofer
speaker and the
spare wheel.
● When re-mounting the spare tyre, place the
subwoofer
on the base of the wheel rim with
care. When doing so, the tip of the “FRONT”
arrow on the subwoofer should point for-
ward.
● Reconnect the speaker cable and firmly ro-
tate the sec
uring wheel clockwise so that the
subwoofer system and wheel are firmly in
place.
Winter service
Winter ty
res–
Winter tyres must be fitted on al
l
four
wheels. –
Only u
se winter tyres that are approved for
your vehicle.
– Please note that the maximum permissible
speed for w

inter tyres may be lower than
for summer tyres.
– Also note that winter tyres are no longer ef-
fective when the

tread is worn down.
– After fitting the wheels you must always
check

the tyre pressures. When doing so,
take into account the correct tyre pressures
listed on the rear of the front left door
frame ››› page 308.
In winter road conditions winter tyres will
considerably improve vehicle handling. The
design of summer tyres (width, rubber com-
pound, tread pattern) gives less grip on ice
and snow. This applies particularly to vehi-
cles equipped with wide section tyres or with
high speed tyres (code letters H, V or Y on
the sidewall).
Only use winter tyres of the correct type ap-
proved for your vehicle. The sizes of these
tyres are specified in the vehicle's docu-
ments (e.g. EC Certificate of Conformity or
COC 1)
). The vehicle documentation varies de-
pending on the country of residence. See al-
so ››› page 309. Winter tyres lose a great deal of their proper-
ties when the
tr

ead is worn down to a depth
of 4 mm.
The performance of winter tyres is also se-
verely impaired by ageing, even if the tread is
still much deeper than 4 mm.
Winter tyres are subject to the following max-
imum speed limits according to speed rating
code letter: ›››
Speed rating

tion
Fuel
c

onsumption Approved consumption values are derived
from me
a

surements performed or supervised
by certified EU laboratories, according to the
legislation in force at the time (for more infor-
mation, see the Publications Office of the Eu-
ropean Union on the EUR-Lex website: © Eu-
ropean Union, http://eur-lex.europa.eu/) and
apply to the specified vehicle characteristics.
The values relating to fuel consumption and
CO 2 emissions can be found in the documen-
tation provided to the purchaser of the vehi-
cle at the time of purchase.
Fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions depend
on the equipment/features of each individual
vehicle, as well as on the driving style, road
conditions, traffic conditions, environmental
conditions, load or number of passengers. Note
In practice, and considering all the factors
mentioned here, c on

sumption values can dif-
fer from those calculated in the current Euro-
pean regulations. Weights
Kerb weight refers to the basic model with a
fuel
t

ank filled to 90% capacity and without
optional extras. The figure quoted includes
75 kg to allow for the weight of the driver.
Special versions, optional equipment fittings
or retro-fitting accessories will increase the
weight of the vehicle ››› .
WARNING
● Ple a

se note that the centre of gravity may
shift when transporting heavy objects; this
may affect vehicle handling and lead to an ac-
cident. Always adjust your speed and driving
style to suit road conditions and require-
ments.
● Never exceed the gross axle weight rating
or the gros
s vehicle weight rating. If the per-
missible axle load or the permissible total
weight is exceeded, the driving characteris-
tics of the vehicle may change, which could
lead to accidents, injuries and damage to the
vehicle. 318
