Advice
Note
● Remove stains from fresh ball-pen and oth-
er inks, lipstick, shoe cream and similar
stains on the fabric (leather), upholstery and
fabric trim as soon as possible.
● We recommend that you visit an authorised
SEAT dealer to clean and care for the interior
of your vehicle, due to the problems that may
arise when cleaning and caring for the interi-
or of your vehicle and to the utensils and
knowledge required. Washing the vehicle
The best protection of the vehicle from the
harmful influences of the environment in-
volves
frequent washing and waxing. The fre-
quency w
ith which the vehicle is washed de-
pends on many different factors, such as:
● Frequency of use
● Type of parking (garage, underneath trees,
etc.)
● Time of year
● Weather conditions
● Environmental conditions
The longer substances such as insects, bird
droppings, resinous tree sap, road dirt, in-
dustrial deposits, tar, soot or road salt and
other aggressive materials remain on the
paintwork, the more damage they do. High temperatures (for instance in strong sunlight)
further intensify the corrosive effect.
After the winter season, it is important to
have the underside of the vehicle
wa
shed
thoroughly.
Automatic car washes Your vehicle can be washed in an automatic
car wash.
Before going through an automatic car wash,
be sure to take the usual precautions such as
closing the windows, etc.
If the vehicle has special accessories such as
spoilers or a roof rack or two-way radio aerial,
etc., it is advisable to consult the car wash
operator beforehand.
The windscreen wiper rubbers must be de-
greased after going after the car wash and
waxing.
Washing by hand When washing the car by hand, use plenty of
water to soften the dirt first and rinse off as
well as possible.
Then clean the vehicle with a
sponge, glove
or brush
. Start on the roof and work down.
U
se only slight pressure when cleaning the
painted surfaces of the vehicle. A car sham-poo should only be used for very persistent
dirt.
Rinse the sponge or glove thoroughly and of-
ten.
Wheels, sills and underside should be
cleaned last. Use a second sponge for this.
After washing, rinse the vehicle thoroughly
and then dry with a chamois.
Washing with high-pressure cleaners When cleaning the vehicle with a high-pres-
sure cleaner, always follow the operating in-
structions for the equipment. This particular-
ly applies to the
operating pressure and the
distance of the spray from the surface of the
v ehic
le. Do not hold the spray nozzle too
close to the parking aid system sensors and
soft materials, such as rubber hoses or insu-
lating material. WARNING
Do no use a nozzle that sprays the water out
in a direct stream or one that has a “rotating
jet”! CAUTION
Do not use water hotter than +60 °C (140 °F).
Risk of damage to the vehicle! 124

Advice
Wheel bolts The wheel bolts
are m atched to the rims.
When installing different wheels, e.g. to fit
light alloy wheels or wheels with winter tyres,
it is important to use the correct wheel bolts
with the right length and correctly shaped
bolt heads. This is essential for a secure fit of
the wheels and for proper operation of the
brake system.
Changing a wheel If possible, change the wheel on a level sur-
face.
– Pull off the hub cap ›››
page 151 or the
wheel bolt covers ›››
page 151.
– First loosen the anti-theft wheel bolts and
then the other wheel bolts ›››
page 152.
– Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be
changed is no longer touching the ground
››› page 153 .
– Remo
ve the wheel bolts and place them on
a clean surface (cloth, paper, etc.).
– Take off the wheel.
– Lift the spare wheel into position and tight-
en the wheel bolts lightly.
– Lower the vehicle. –
Tighten the wheel bolts firmly in diagonal
sequence with the box spanner and then
the anti-theft wheel bolt ››› page 152.
– Replace the hub cap and/or the bolt cov-
ers. 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 a directional tread pattern
››› page 144. 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 146 .
– Put
the vehicle tools back in their storage
location.
– Check the tyre pressure of the newly fitted
s
pare wheel as soon as possible.
– Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bo
lts 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 torque checked.
● Drive carefully and at moderate speeds un-
til the tightening torque of the wheel bolts
has been checked. Loosening and tightening wheel bolts

Advice
– Fix the sticker 2
››› Fig. 128
›
›› page 155
onto the dash panel where the driver will
see it.
– Do not remove the foreign body, e.g. bolts
or nails, from the tyre.
– Unscrew the tyre valve cap.
– Using the valve extractor 1 , unscrew the
valve insert and place it on a clean surface
(cloth, paper, etc.)
Filling and inflating the tyre Filling the tyre
– Shake the tyre sealant can 10
››› Fig. 128
››› page 155 thoroughly several times.
– Att ac
h the flexible filling hose 3 onto the
can 10 . The foil sealing the can will be au-
tomatically pierced.
– Remove the cap from the flexible filling
hose 3 and insert the open end as far as it
will go into the tyre valve.
– Hold the can 10 upside down and fill the
complete contents of the can into the tyre.
– Remove the empty can from the tyre.
– Screw the valve insert back into the tyre
valve using the valve extractor 1 .Inflating the tyre
–
Screw the tyre filling hose 5
››› Fig. 128
››› page 155 firmly onto the tyre valve.
– Make sure that the bleed screw 7 is
closed.
– Start the vehicle engine and leave it run-
ning.
– Plug connector 9 into the 12-volt power
socket.
– Turn on the air compressor with switch 8 .
– Leave the air compressor running until the
tyre pressure has reached 2.0 -2.5 bar
(29-36 psi/200-250 kPa). The max. operat-
ing time for the compressor is 8 minutes
››› !
– Switch the compressor off.
– When an air pressure of 2.0-2.5 bar
(29-36 psi/200-250 kPa) cannot be
reached, unscrew the flexible tube 5 from
the tyre valve.
– Drive the vehicle approx. 10 metres for-
wards or backwards, so that the sealant
can “spread evenly” in the tyre.
– Screw the flexible hose from the air com-
pressor 5 back onto the tyre valve and re-
peat the inflation process.
– If the pressure is still lower than specified,
the tyre is too badly damaged. The tyre can- not be repaired using the tyre sealant kit
››› .
– Switch the compressor off.
– Unscrew the flexible hose 5 from the tyre
valve.
When a tyre pressure of 2.0-2.5 bar
(29-36 psi/200-250 kPa) is reached, you can
continue driving at a max. speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph).
Check the tyre pressure after 10 minutes of
driving ››› page 157 . WARNING
● The flexible tyre filling hose and the air
compressor may heat up during the filling
process. Risk of injury!
● Do not place the hot flexible tyre filling
hose or hot air compressor on top of flamma-
ble materials. Risk of fire!
● If the tyre cannot be inflated to a minimum
pressure of 2.0 bar (29 psi/200 kPa), then
the tyre is too badly damaged. The sealing
product is unable to seal the tyre . Do not
continue driving and obtain professional as-
sistance. CAUTION
Do not use the air compressor for longer than
8 minutes at a time. Risk of overheating! Be-
fore using the air compressor again, leave it
to cool down for several minutes. 156
