Wheels and tyresTyre code (example)Meaning
TREADWEAR 220Relative service life of the tyre, with respect to specific US standard test.
TRACTION ABraking capacity of tyre on wet surface (AA, A, B or C).
TEMPERATURE ATyre temperature resistance at higher test speeds (A, B or C).
If the tyre has other markings, these are specific tyre manufacturer codes or specific national codes, e.g. for Brazil or China.
a)
The letters TIN refer to the tyre serial number.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
Tyres with directional tread pattern have
been designed to operate best when rotating
in only one direction. An arrow on the tyre
sidewall indicates the direction of rotation on
tyres with directional tread. Always observe
the direction of rotation indicated when
mounting the wheel. This guarantees opti-
mum grip and helps to avoid aquaplaning,
grip, noise and wear.
If the tyre is mounted in the opposite direc-
tion of rotation, drive with extreme caution,
as the tyre is no longer being used correctly.
This is of particular importance when the
road surface is wet. Change the tyre as soon
as possible or remount it with the correct di-
rection of rotation.

Snow chains When using snow chains, applicable local
legislation and maximum permitted speed
limits must be observed.
In winter weather, snow chains not only help
to improve grip but also improve the braking
capacity.
The fitting of chains is permitted
only on
front wheels and with the following combi-
nation

AdviceTyre sizeWheel rim
165/70 R145 J x 14 offset of 35175/65 R14
SEAT recommends you ask a technical serv-
ice for further information on wheel, tyre and
chain sizes.
Wherever possible use fine-link chains meas-
uring less than 15 mm including the lock.
Remove wheel hub covers and trim rings be-
fore fitting snow chains
››› . The wheel bolts
should be covered with caps for safety rea-
sons. These are available from technical serv-
ices.
Temporary spare wheel
For technical reasons, snow chains must not
be used on the compact temporary spare
wheel ›››
page 165.
If it is necessary to fit chains with the tempo-
rary spare wheel in use, install the wheel on
the rear axle in the event of a fault in a front
wheel. Then, fit the rear wheel that is free, in-
stead of the damaged front wheel. In this sit-
uation, observe the rotating direction of the
wheels. SEAT recommends attaching the
snow chains before fitting the wheel. WARNING
The use of unsuitable or incorrectly fitted
chains could lead to serious accidents and
damage.
● Always the appropriate snow chains.
● Observe the fitting instructions provided by
the snow chain manufacturer.
● Never exceed the maximum permitted
speeds when driving with snow chains. CAUTION
● Remove the snow chains to drive on roads
without snow. Otherwise they will impair ve-
hicle handling, damage the tyres and wear
out very quickly.
● Wheel rims may be damaged or scratched if
the chains come into direct contact with
them. SEAT recommends the use of covered
snow chains. Note
Snow chains are available in different sizes
according to the vehicle type. Emergencies

Advice
Changing a wheel Introduction Some vehicle versions and models do not
have a factory-fitted jack or box spanner. In
this case, we recommend consulting a Speci-
alised workshop to change the wheel.
You should only change the wheels yourself if
the vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are
familiar with the procedure and safety stand-
ards and you have all the necessary tools!
Otherwise, you should seek professional as-
sistance.
WARNING
Changing a wheel can be dangerous, espe-
cially on the hard shoulder. Please observe
the following rules to minimise the risk of in-
jury:
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Park at a safe distance from surrounding traf-
fic to change a wheel.
● When changing a wheel, keep all passen-
gers, and particularly children, a safe dis-
tance away from the work area.
● Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn
other road users.
● Ensure the ground on which you park is flat
and solid. If necessary, support the jack on a
wide solid base. ●
If you are changing a wheel yourself, you
should be familiar with the required proce-
dure. Otherwise, you should seek professio-
nal assistance.
● Only use suitable tools that are not dam-
aged when changing a wheel.
● Always stop the engine, apply the hand-
brake lever firmly and place the selector lever
in position P, or engage a gear for a manual
gearbox to reduce the risk of the vehicle mov-
ing accidentally.
● Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts checked as soon as possible with a reli-
able torque wrench. WARNING
If the wheel trims are not appropriate or not
fitted correctly, they could cause major acci-
dents or damage.
● Incorrectly mounted wheel trims may come
off while driving and endanger other road
users.
● Damaged trims must never be mounted on
the wheels.
● Always ensure that the brake ventilation
and cooling is not cut off or blocked. This is
also valid if hubcaps are fitted later. If there
is not enough air, you may require signifi-
cantly longer braking distances. CAUTION
Remove and remount wheel trims taking care
to avoid damage to the vehicle. Hubcaps
Fig. 124
Remove the hubcap of the steel
wheel trim In order to access the wheel bolts, first re-
move the hubcap.
Removing and fitting the hubcap
● To remove , take the vehicle tool kit wire
hook and att
ach it to the edge of the wheel
trim ››› Fig. 124
.
● Remove the trim by pulling it in the direc-
tion of the arrow.
● To replace the hubcap , press the hubcap
against the trim until it clicks into place.

Advice
If the wheel bolt is very tight, you may be
able to loosen it by pushing down on the end
of the wheel brace carefully with your foot.
Hold on to the vehicle for support and take
care not to slip.
Loosening wheel bolts
● Fit the wheel brace as far as it will go over
the wheel bolt ››› Fig. 127 .
● Ho l
d the wheel brace at the end and rotate
the bolt approximately one turn anticlockwise
››

› .
Loosening anti-theft wheel bolts
For wheels with full hubcap, the anti-theft
wheel lock must be threaded into position
››› Fig. 128 2 before mounting the hubcap.
Otherwise it will not be possible to mount the
entire hubcap.
● Take the adapter for anti-theft wheel bolts
out of the vehicle tool kit.
● Insert the adapter onto the wheel bolt
››› Fig. 128 . Push it on as far as it will go.
● Fit the wheel

brace onto the adapter as far
as possible.
● Hold the wheel brace at the end and rotate
the bolt approximately one turn anticlockwise
››

› . Important information about wheel bolts
The wheel rims and bolts have been de-
signed to be fitted to factory options. If differ-
ent rims are fitted, the correct wheel bolts
with the right length and correctly shaped
bolt heads must be used. This ensures that
wheels are fitted securely and that the brake
system functions correctly.
In some circumstances, wheel bolts from the
same model vehicle should not be used.
Wheel bolt tightening torque
The prescribed tightening torque for wheel
bolts for steel and alloy wheels is
110 Nm
.
Hav e the tight

ening torque of the wheel bolts
checked as soon as possible with a reliable
torque wrench.
If wheel bolts are rusty and it is difficult to
tighten them, the threads should be replaced
and cleaned before checking the tightening
tor

que.
Never grease or lubricate wheel bolts or the
wheel hub threads. Although they have been
tightened to the prescribed torque, they
could come loose while driving. WARNING
If the wheel bolts are not fitted correctly they
could be released while driving leading to
loss of vehicle control and serious damage. ●
Only use wheel bolts which correspond to
the wheel rims in question.
● Never use different wheel bolts.
● The bolts and threads should be clean, free
of oil and grease and easy to thread.
● To loosen and tighten the wheel bolts, al-
ways use the wheel brace supplied with the
vehicle.
● Loosen the wheel bolts only about one turn
before raising the vehicle with the jack.
● Never grease or lubricate wheel bolts or the
wheel hub threads. Although they have been
tightened to the prescribed torque, they
could come loose while driving.
● Never loosen the bolted joints of wheel
rims with bolted ring trims.
● If the wheel bolts are not tightened to the
correct torque, they may come loose while
driving, and the bolts and rims may come
out. If the tightening torque is too high, the
wheel bolts and threads can be damaged. 176
