Introduction
The correct type of fuel for your vehicle is indicated on a sticker on the in-
side of the fuel tank flap, along with the tyre size and pressure. ⇒ Fig. 115
 .
The scraper ⇒  Fig. 115  to remove snow and ice from windows and mirrors
⇒  page 167, Windows and exterior mirrors is located on the inside of the
fuel tank flap.
WARNING
Observe all relevant statutory regulations on transporting spare fuel can-
isters. For safety reasons, we do not recommend carrying a spare canister
in the vehicle. The canister could be damaged in an accident and fuel
may leak. Risk of fire!
CAUTION
● Never completely empty the tank! If there is an irregular fuel supply, mis-
firing can occur that can cause damage to many of the engine parts and the
exhaust system.
● If any fuel is spilt onto the paintwork of the vehicle, it should be re-
moved immediately. Risk of damage to paintwork! Refuelling

Note
We recommend having the vehicle checked by an authorised SEAT dealer to
guarantee the correct working order of all electrical systems. 
Changing the battery
A replacement battery must have the same capacity, voltage, current rating
and size as the original. The appropriate types of battery can be acquired
from authorised SEAT dealers.
We recommend having the battery changed by an authorised SEAT dealer,
where the new battery will be correctly installed and the original disposed
of in line with regulations. 
Automatic disconnection of electrical equipment
When heavily-charging a battery, the programme selected by the electrical
system control unit prevents the battery from automatically discharging.
This may result in the following:
● Increase in idling speed so that the alternator can supply more current
to the electrical system.
● The performance of certain electrical components could be limited or
some may switch off temporarily, e.g. the heated seats, the heated rear win-
dow, the 12V power socket.
Note
Despite any measures taken by the control unit, the battery could drain. e.g.
with the engine is switched off, the key is turned in the ignition for a long
period or the side lights or parking lights are switched on. The switching off
of certain electrical components does not impair driving comfort and the
driver will often not even realise. 

200Self-help
–Lower the vehicle.
– Tighten the wheel bolts firmly in diagonal sequence with the
box spanner and then the anti-theft wheel bolt ⇒ page 200.
– Replace the hub cap and/or the bolt covers.
Note
● All bolts must be clean and turn easily.
● Never grease or oil the wheel bolts!
● Note the direction of rotation when putting on a tyre with directional
tread pattern ⇒ page 187. 
After changing a wheel
Tasks that must be carried out after changing a wheel.
– Place the wheel with the defective tyre in the spare wheel well
and secure it using a special bolt ⇒ page 190.
– Put the vehicle tools back in their storage location.
– Check the tyre pressure of the newly fitted spare wheel as soon
as possible.
– Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked as soon
as possible with a torque wrench.
– Have the flat tyre replaced or ask an Official Service about the
possibility of repair.
Note
● If you notice that the wheel bolts are rusty and difficult to turn when
changing a wheel, they must be replaced before having the tightening tor-
que checked.
● Drive carefully and at moderate speeds until the tightening torque of the
wheel bolts has been checked. 

WARNING
The wheel bolts should only be loosened slightly (about one turn) before
raising the vehicle with the jack. Risk of accident!

down the end of the box spanner carefully with your foot. Hold on to the ve-
hicle for support and take care not to slip. 
Raising the vehicle
Fig. 132 Changing a
wheel: Jacking points
Fig. 133 Fitting the jack
To place the jack, locate the jacking point under the door sill clos-
est to the wheel to be changed ⇒ Fig. 132. The jacking point is di-
rectly underneath the stamp on the door sill.
– Turn the crank handle on the jack to wind it up under the jack-
ing point until its claw is directly below the jacking point of the
door sill.
– Adjust the jack so that its claw surrounds the jacking point on
the door sill ⇒ Fig. 133 - B underneath the stamp on the door
sill.
– Make sure that the base of the jack is entirely supported on a
flat surface and that it is vertical ⇒ Fig. 133 to the point where
the claw surrounds the jacking point on the door sill.
– Continue to wind up the jack using the crank handle until the
defective wheel is clear off the ground. 
