Wheels
For the sake of the environment
Old tyres must be disposed of according to
the laws in the country concerned.
Note
●
A SEAT Service Centre should be consul-
ted to find out whether wheels or tyres of
different sizes to those originally fitted by
SEAT can be fitted, and to find out about
the combinations allowed between the
front axle (axle 1) and the rear axle (axle 2).
●
For technical reasons, it is not generally
possible to use the wheels from other vehi-
cles. This can also apply to wheels of the
same model. The use of wheels or tyres
which have not been approved by SEAT for
use with your model may invalidate the ve-
hicle's type approval for use on public
roads.
●
If the spare tyre is not the same as the
tyres that are mounted on the vehicle (e.g.
winter tyres) you should only use the spare
tyre for a short period of time and drive with
extra care. Refit the normal road wheel as
soon as possible.
Wheel bolts
The design of wheel bolts is matched to the
rims. If different wheel rims are fitted, the cor-
rect wheel bolts with the right length and cor-
rectly shaped bolt heads must be used. This
ensures that wheels are fitted securely and
that the brake system functions correctly.
In certain circumstances, you should not use
wheel bolts from a different vehicle, even if it
is the same model
›››
page 307 .
WARNING
If the wheel bolts are not tightened cor-
rectly, the wheel could become loose while
driving. Risk of accident.
●
The wheel bolts must be clean and turn
easily. Never apply grease or oil to them.
●
Use only wheel bolts which belong to the
wheel.
●
If the prescribed torque of the wheel
bolts is too low, they could loosen whilst
the vehicle is in motion. Risk of accident! If
the tightening torque is too high, the wheel
bolts and threads can be damaged.
CAUTION
The prescribed tightening torque for wheel
bolts for steel and alloy wheels is 120 Nm.

The tyre pressure of a wheel is much lower than the
value set by the driver

.
Or: Fault in the tyre pressure gauge.
The tyre pressure loss indicator compares the
revolutions and thus the wheel diameter of
each wheel using the ESC. If the wheel diam-
eter of a wheel changes, the control indicator
of the tyres informs of this fact

. The wheel
diameter changes when:
●
Tyre pressure is insufficient.
●
The tyre structure is damaged.
●
The vehicle is unbalanced because of a
load.
