Emergencies
● In outside temperatures below -20 °C
(-4 °F).
● In the event of cuts or perforations in the
tyre greater than 4 mm.
● If you have been driving with very low pres-
sure or a completely flat tyre.
● If the sealant bottle has passed its use by
date. WARNING
Using the tyre mobility system can be dan-
gerous, especially 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 passengers and particularly children
must keep a safe distance from the work area.
● Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn
other road users.
● Use the tyre mobility system only if you are
familiar with the necessary procedures. Oth-
erwise, you should seek professional assis-
tance.
● The tyre mobility set is intended for tempo-
rary emergency use only until you can reach
the nearest specialised workshop.
● Replace the repaired tyre with the tire mo-
bility set as soon as possible. ●
The sealant is a health hazard and must be
cleaned immediately if it comes into contact
with the skin.
● Always keep the tire mobility set out of the
reach of small children.
● Never use an equivalent jack, even if it has
been approved for your vehicle.
● Always stop the engine, apply the hand-
brake lever 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 performance 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 only 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
any legal requirements. Note
● A new bottle of sealant can be purchased at
SEAT dealerships. ●

s ››› .
● Disconnect the air compressor.
● If it is not possible to achieve an air pres-
sure of 2.0 to 2.5 bar (29-36 psi /
200-250 kPa), unscrew the tyre inflator tube
from the tyre valve.
● Move the vehicle some 10 metres forward
or backward so that the sealant is evenly dis-
tributed in the tyre interior.
● Securely screw the compressor tyre inflator
tube into the tyre valve and repeat the infla-
tion process.
● If the indicated pressure can still not be
reached, the tyre is too badly damaged. The
tyre cannot be sealed with the anti-puncture
kit. Do not continue driving. You should ob-
tain professional assistance ››› .
● Disconnect the air compressor and unscrew
the flexible inflator tube from the tyre valve.
● When the tyre pressure is between 2.5 and
2.0 bars, immediately continue driving with-
out exceeding 80 km/h (50 mph).
● After 10 minutes
, Check the pressure again

Emergencies
WARNING
When inflating the wheel, the air compressor
and the inflator tube may become hot.
● Protect hands and skin from hot parts.
● Do not place the hot flexible inflator tube or
hot air compressor on flammable material.
● Allow them to cool before storing the de-
vice.
● If it is not possible to inflate the tyre to at
least 2.0 bars (29 psi / 200 kPa), the tyre is
too badly damaged. The sealant is not in a
good condition to seal the tyre. Do not con-
tinue driving. Seek specialist assistance. CAUTION
Switch off the air compressor after a maxi-
mum of 8 operational minutes to avoid over-
heating! Before switching on the air compres-
sor again, let it cool for several minutes. Check after 10 minutes of driving

● Car
efully resume your journey until you
reach the nearest specialised workshop with-
out exceeding 80 km/h (50 mph).
● Have the damaged tyre replaced. WARNING
Driving with an unsealed tyre is dangerous
and can cause accidents and serious injury.
● Do not continue driving if the tyre pressure
is 1.3 bar (19 psi / 130 kPa) and lower.
● Seek specialist assistance. Starting assistance
Introduction If the engine fails to start because of a dis-
charged battery, the battery of another vehi-
cle can be used to start the engine. Before
starting, check the magic eye on the battery
››› page 154 .
F or s

tarting assistance, jump lead cables con-
forming to the standard DIN 72553 are re-
quired (see the cable manufacturer instruc-
tions). The cable section in vehicles with pet-
rol engine must be at least 25 mm 2
. WARNING
Incorrect use of jump leads and incorrectly
jump starting could cause the battery to ex-
plode resulting in serious injury. Please ob-
serve the following rules to minimise the risk
of a battery explosion:
● The battery providing current must have
the same voltage (12V) and approximately
the same capacity (see markings on battery)
as the flat battery.
● Never charge a frozen or recently thawed
battery. A flat battery can also freeze at tem-
peratures close to 0 °C (+32 °F).
● If a battery is frozen and/or has been frozen
then it must be replaced.
● A highly explosive mixture of gases is re-
leased when the battery is being charged. Al-
ways keep lit cigarettes, flames, sparks and
fire far from the battery. Never use a mobile
telephone when connecting and removing the
jump leads.
● Charge the battery only in well ventilated
areas given that when the battery is charged
by outside assistance, it creates a mix of
highly explosive gases.
● Jump leads should never enter into contact
with moving parts in the engine compart-
ment.
● Never switch the positive and negative
poles or connect the jump leads incorrectly.
● Note the instruction manual provided by
the manufacturer of the jump leads. » 181

Technical featuresUrban
cycleMeasurement of the urban cycle starts with
an engine cold start. City driving is then si-
mulated at between 0 and 50 km/h (0 and
31 mph).
Road
cycle
In the road cycle simulation, the car under-
goes frequent acceleration and braking in all
gears, as in normal everyday driving. The
road speed ranges from 0 to 120 km/h (0
and 75 mph).
Com-
binedThe average combined consumption is calcu-
lated with a weighting of around 37 % for the
urban cycle and 63 % for the road cycle.
CO
2
emis-
sions of
the
combi-
nationThe exhaust gases are collected during both
driving cycles to calculate carbon dioxide
emissions (urban and road). The gas compo-
sition is analysed below to evaluate the CO 2
content and other emissions. Note
● The kerb weight may vary according to the
vehicle equipment. This could raise consump-
tion and the CO 2 emissions slightly.
● In practice, consumption values could be
different to the values calculated based on
the 715/2007/EC or 80/1268/EEC regula-
tions. Wheels
Tyre pressure, snow chains, wheel
bolts Tyre pressures
The sticker with the tyre pressure values can
be found on the inside of the fuel tank flap.
The tyre pressure values given there are for
cold tyres. The slightly raised pressures of
w
arm ty

res must not be reduced. ››› Snow chains
Snow chains may be fitted only to the
front
wheels .
C on

sult the section “wheels” of this manual.
Wheel bolts
After the wheels have been changed, the
tightening torque
of the wheel bolts should
be checked as soon as possible with a torque
wrench ››› . The tightening torque for steel
and alloy wheels is 140 Nm. WARNING
● Check the tyre pressure at least once per
month. Checking the tyre pressure is very im-
portant. If the tyre pressure is too high or too
low, there is an increased danger of accidents
- particularly at high speeds. ●
If the tightening torque of the wheel bolts
is too low, they could loosen while the vehi-
cle is in motion. Risk of accident! If the tight-
ening torque is too high, the wheel bolts and
threads can be damaged. Note
We recommend that you ask your Technical
Service for information about appropriate
wheel, tyre and snow chain size. 199
