Snow chains will improve braking ability as
well as traction in winter conditions.
For technical reasons snow chains may only
be used with the following wheel rim/tyre
combination.
175/70R14
185/60R15Chains with links not exceeding 15 mm

Remove the chains when roads are free of
snow. Driving characteristics worsen, and the
wheels become damaged quickly and may
even be rendered unusable. WARNING
Snow chains should be correctly tightened in
accor d

ance with the manufacturer's instruc- tions. This will prevent the chains coming in-
to cont

Emergencies
●
Never st ar
t the engine when the vehicle is
on the jack. Risk of accident.
● If work is to be carried out underneath the
vehicle, thi
s must be secured by suitable
means. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury. Note
The jack does not generally require any main-
t enanc e. If

required, it should be greased us-
ing universal type grease. Spare wheel (temporary spare
wheel)*
The temporary spare wheel is stored under
the floor p
anel
in the lug g

age compartment
and is attached by a thumbnut.
How to use the temporary spare wheel
If you ever have a punctured tyre or loss of
pressure, the temporary spare wheel is only
intended for temporary use until you reach a
workshop. Change it for a duty wheel as soon
as possible.
Please note the following restrictions when
using the temporary spare wheel. This tem-
porary spare wheel has been specially de-
signed for your vehicle, thus, it cannot be
changed with the temporary spare wheel
from another vehicle. No other type of tyre (normal summer or win-
ter tyre) m

ay be fitted on the compact tempo-
rary spare wheel rim.
Snow chains
For 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.
Extraction of the spare wheel in vehicles
with SEAT SOUND 6 speakers (with subwoof-
er)*
● Disassemble the subwoofer's floor p
anel
(carpet) as follows:
● Pull the carpet upwards to remove it.
● Disconnect the subwoofer's s
peaker cable.
● Turn the securing wheel anti-clockwise.
● Remove the subwoofer s
peaker and the
spare wheel.
● When replacing the spare wheel, place the
subwoofer s
peaker in the direction indicated
by the arrow and with the word “FRONT” fac-
ing forward.
● Reconnect the speaker cable and firmly ro-
tate the sec urin

g wheel clockwise so that the subwoofer syst
em and wheel
are firmly in
place. WARNING
● After fittin g the t

emporary spare wheel,
check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
Failure to do so may cause an accident. The
tyre pressures are listed on the inside of the
fuel tank flap.
● Do not drive at over 80 km/h (50 mph)
when the temporary
spare wheel is fitted on
the vehicle: risk of accident!
● Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and
fast
cornering: risk of accident!
● Never use more than one temporary spare
wheel at the same time, ri
sk of accident.
● No other type of tyre (normal summer or
winter tyr
e) may be fitted on the compact
temporary spare wheel rim. Tyre repair

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.
76

Self-help
After inserting the sealant residue in the tyre,
y ou mu
st
again check the tyre pressure about
10 minutes after starting the engine.
You should only use the tyre mobility set if
the vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are
familiar with the procedure and you have the
necessary tyre mobility set! Otherwise, you
should seek professional assistance.
Do not use the tyre sealant in the following
cases:
● If the wheel rim has been damaged.
● In outside temperatures below -20 °C
(-4 °F).
● In the event of cuts or perforations in the
tyre gre
ater than 4 mm.
● If you have been driving with very low pres-
sure or a comp
letely flat tyre.
● If the sealant bottle has passed its use by
date. WARNING
Using the tyre mobility system can be dan-
gerou s, e

specially 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 on which you park is flat
and solid. ●
All p

assengers and particularly children
must keep a safe distance from the work area.
● Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn
other road u
sers.
● Use the tyre mobility system only if you are
familiar w
ith the necessary procedures. Oth-
erwise, you should seek professional assis-
tance.
● The tyre mobility set is intended for tempo-
rary emer
gency use only until you can reach
the nearest specialised workshop.
● Replace the repaired tyre with the tyre mo-
bility set
as soon as possible.
● The sealant is a health hazard and must be
cleaned immedi
ately if it comes into contact
with the skin.
● Always keep the tyre mobility set out of the
reach of
small children.
● Never use a jack, even if it has been ap-
proved f
or your vehicle.
● Always stop the engine, apply the hand-
brake lev
er firmly and engage gear if using a
manual gearbox, in order to reduce the risk of
vehicle involuntary movement. WARNING
A tyre filled with sealant does not have the
same perf orm

ance properties as a conven-
tional tyre.
● Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).
● Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and
fast
cornering. ●
Drive for on ly

10 minutes at a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) and then check
the tyre. For the sake of the environment
Dispose of used or expired sealant observing
an y le

gal requirements. Note
● A new bottle of se a

lant can be purchased at
SEAT dealerships.

Operation
Note
● The tyre pr e
ssure must be adjusted accord-
ing to the load. When necessary check the
tyre pressures on the label located on the in-
side fuel tank flap ››› page 213.
● Air circulation in the vehicle helps reduce
fogging of
the windows. Used air escapes
through ventilation slits in the side trim of
the luggage compartment. Ensure that the
ventilation slots are never covered.
● Straps for securing the load to the fasten-
ing rings* ar
e commercially available from ac-
cessory shops. Fastening rings*

– Pull up the fastening rings to attach the
straps.
Ex

ample: An object weighing 4.5 kg is lying
unsecured in the vehicle. During a frontal col-
lision at a speed of 50 km/h (31 mph), this
object generates a force corresponding to 20
times its weight. That means that the effec-
tive weight of the object increases to approxi-
mately 90 kg. You can imagine the severity of
the injuries which might be sustained if this
“object” strikes an occupant as it flies
through the interior of the vehicle. This in-
creased risk of injury will be further increased
if a loose object is struck by an inflating air-
bag. WARNING
● If piece s

of baggage or other objects are se-
cured to the fastening rings with inappropri-
ate or damaged retaining cords, injuries
could result in the event of braking manoeu-
vres or accidents.
● Never secure a child seat on the fastening
rings. Stretched luggage net*

Operation
At speeds of up to approximately 80 km/h
(50 mph), it i
s ab
le to balance out differences
in the speed of the driven wheels of approxi-
mately 100 rpm/min caused by a partially
slippery road surface. It does this by braking
the wheel which has lost traction and distrib-
uting more driving force to the other driven
wheel via the differential.
To prevent the disc brake of the braking
wheel from overheating, the EDL cuts out au-
tomatically if subjected to excessive loads.
The vehicle will continue to function normally
without EDL. For this reason, the driver is not
informed that the EDL has been switched off.
The EDL will switch on again automatically
when the brake has cooled down.
Control lamp
A malfunction in the EDL is indicated by the
ABS control lamp  ››› page 158. Take the
vehicle to a specialised workshop as soon as
possible. WARNING
● When accel er

ating on a slippery surface,
for example on ice and snow, press the accel-
erator carefully. Despite EDL, the driven
wheels may start to spin. This could impair
the vehicle's stability.
● Always adapt your driving style to suit road
conditions and the tr
affic situation. Do not let
the extra safety afforded by EDL tempt you in- to taking any risks when driving, this can
cause ac
c

idents. CAUTION
Modifications to the vehicle (e.g. to the en-
gine, the br ake sys

tem, running gear or any
components affecting the wheels and tyres)
could affect the efficiency of the EDL
››› page 190. Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)*
The function (Hydraulic Brake Assist HBA) is
on
ly
inc luded in

vehicles with ESC.
In an emergency, most drivers brake in time,
but not with maximum force. This results in
unnecessarily long braking distances.
This is when the brake assist system comes
into action. When pressing the brake pedal
rapidly, the assistant interprets it as an emer-
gency. It very quickly builds up the full brake
pressure so that the ABS can be activated
more quickly and efficiently, thus reducing
braking distance.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake ped-
al, since the brake assist system switches off
automatically as soon as you release the
brake. Automatic hazard warning lights activation
The brake lights fl

ash automatically to indi-
cate that the vehicle is braking suddenly or in
an emergency situation. If the emergency
braking continues until the vehicle comes to
a standstill, the hazard warning lights will
then come on and the brake lights will re-
main on permanently from that moment. The
warning lights will automatically switch off
when the vehicle begins to move again or
when the "warning" light button is pressed. WARNING
● The risk of ac

cident is higher if you drive
too fast, if you do not keep your distance from
the vehicle in front, and when the road sur-
face is slippery or wet. The increased acci-
dent risk cannot be reduced by the brake as-
sist system.
● The brake assist system cannot defy the
laws
of physics. Slippery and wet roads are
dangerous even with the brake assist system!
Therefore, it is essential that you adjust your
speed to suit the road and traffic conditions.
Do not let the extra safety features tempt you
into taking any risks when driving. Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The anti-lock brake (ABS) system prevents
the wheel
s
fr om loc

king during braking and
is an important part of the vehicle's active
safety system.
