wheel bolts Seat Mii 2012 User Guide

254Practical information
Check list
For your own safety and that of other passengers, the following points
should be observed in the order given ⇒ 
:
1. Select a suitable flat and firm surface for raising the vehicle.
2. Switch off the engine, engage a gear (manual gearbox) or place the selector lever in position P ⇒ page 124 and engage the handbrake
⇒ page 134.
3. Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being changed with collapsible wheel chocks or other suitable objects.
4. Loosen the wheel bolts on the wheel to be changed ⇒ page 251.
5. Look below the vehicle for the jacking point ⇒ Fig. 143 closest to the
tyre which has to be changed.
6. Raise the jack with the handle until it can be inserted below the jack- ing point.
7. Ensure that the foot of the jack is firmly on the ground and that it is placed, at a vertical angle, immediately below the lifting point on the
vehicle ⇒ Fig. 144.
8. Straighten the jack and continue raising it using the handle until the claw holds the vertical reinforcement beneath the vehicle ⇒ Fig. 144.
9. Raise the vehicle until the wheel is clear of the ground.
WARNING
If the vehicle is not correctly raised, it could fall off the jack causing seri-
ous injury. Please observe the following rules to minimise the risk of in-
jury:
● You should only use a jack approved by SEAT for your vehicle. Other
jacks, even those approved for other SEAT models, might slip out of
place.
WARNING (Continued)
● The ground should be firm and flat. If the ground is 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 (for example, on tiles), place a non-slip sur-
face (for example a floor mat) beneath the jack to avoid slipping.
● Only fit the jack at the prescribed jacking points. The claw of the jack
should grip the reinforcement nerve on the underbody ⇒ Fig. 144.
● You should never have any limbs beneath a raised vehicle which is
only supported by a jack.
● If you have to work underneath the vehicle, you must use suitable
stands additionally to support the vehicle, there is a risk of accident!.
● Never raise the vehicle if it is tilting to one side or the engine is run-
ning.
● Never start the engine when the vehicle is raised. The vehicle may
come loose from the jack due to the engine vibrations.
WARNING
Failure to follow the checklist prepared for your own safety could lead to
accidents and severe injuries.
● Always complete the operations given in the checklist and observe
the general rules of safety.

Practical information
Changing a wheel
Fig. 145 Changing the
wheel: loosen wheel
bolts with the socket at
the end of the wheel
brace
Removing the wheel
● Please observe the check list ⇒ page 251.
● Loosen the wheel bolts ⇒ page 251.
● Jacking up the vehicle ⇒ page 253.
● Using the hexagonal socket in the wheel brace ⇒ Fig. 145, unscrew the
slackened wheel bolts and place them on a clean surface.
● Take off the wheel.
How to use the spare wheel or temporary spare wheel
Check the direction of rotation of the tyre ⇒ page 218, Tyre code.
● Place the spare wheel or temporary spare wheel into position.
● Replace the wheel bolts and tighten slightly using the hexagonal socket
on the end of the wheel brace.
● To tighten the anti-theft locking wheel bolts use the corresponding
adaptor.
● Lower the vehicle with the jack. ●
Tighten all of the wheel bolts clockwise ⇒ 
. Tighten the bolts in diago-
nal pairs (not in a circle).
● Put the caps, trim or full hubcap back on ⇒ page 248.
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 ac-
cident.
● 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 correct tor-
que.
● 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 vehicle tools, if necessary and put them away in the luggage
compartment foam holder ⇒ page 246.
● Store the spare wheel, the temporary spare wheel or the changed wheel
securely in the luggage compartment.
● Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked as soon as possi-
ble with a torque wrench ⇒ page 252.
● Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as possible. 
