Emergencies
Changing a wheel
Introduction
The SEAT Alhambra is equipped as standard
with anti-puncture technology tyres (Conti-
Seal). In the event of a puncture or air leak of
up to 5 mm, the tyre seals the hole with a pro-
tective layer inside the tread.
The inclusion of this technology means that
there is no type of spare wheel included in
the vehicle's equipment.
Not all Alhambra models have the TMS (Tyre
Mobility System).
If a tyre needs to be changed the tools nec-
essary are available at spare parts dealers:
●
Jack,
●
box spanner for wheel nuts,
●
tool to remove wheel bolt caps
The tyres mounted on the vehicle are anti-
puncture. The wheels should only be
changed when switching from summer to
winter tyres or vice-versa.
The vehicle only comes with the necessary
tools for changing wheels if factory supplied
with winter tyres. If this is not the case, you
need to go to a specialised workshop to get
the wheels changed.
What to do first
●
Park the vehicle on a horizontal surface and
in a safe place as far away from traffic as
possible.

roadside crash barrier).
WARNING

tect yourself and other road users.

If you change the wheel on a slope, block
the wheel on the opposite side of the car
with a stone or similar to prevent the vehi-
cle from moving.
