Important information
about wheels and tyres
General notes
When driving with new tyres, be especially
careful during the rst 600 km (300 miles).
If you have to drive over a kerb or similar ob-
stacle, drive very slowly and as near as possible
at a right angle to the obstacle.
Check from time to time if the tyres are
damaged (punctures, cuts, cracks or dents).
Remove any foreign objects embedded in the
treads.
Damaged wheels and tyres must be replaced
immediately.
Keep grease, oil and fuel o the tyres.
Replace any missing valve caps as soon as
possible.
Mark the wheels before taking them o so
that they rotate in the same direction when put
back.
When removed, the wheels or tyres should
be stored in a cool, dry and preferably dark
place.
Low prole tyres
Low prole tyres have a wider tread, a larger
wheel diameter and a lower sidewall height.
Therefore, its driving behaviour is more agile.
Low prole tyres may deteriorate more quickly
than standard tyres, for instance due to
strong knocks, potholes, manhole covers and
kerbs. Correct tyre pressure is very important
›››page347.
To avoid damage to tyres and wheels, drive
with special care when driving on roads in poor
condition.
Visually check your wheels every 3000 km.
If the tyres or rims have received a heavy im-
pact or have been damaged, have a special-
ised workshop check whether or not it is nec-
essary to change the tyre.
Low prole tyres may deteriorate more quickly
than standard tyres.
Concealed damage
Damage to tyres and rims is often not readily
visible. If you notice unusual vibration or the
car pulling to one side, this may indicate that
one of the tyres is damaged. Reduce speed im-
mediately if there is any reason to suspect that
damage may have occurred. Inspect the tyres
for damage. If no external damage is visible,
drive slowly and carefully to the nearest speci-
alised workshop and have the car inspected.
Foreign objects inserted in the tyre
Do not remove foreign bodies if they have
penetrated through the tyre wall!
If the vehicle comes with a tyre mobility sys-
tem, where necessary seal the damaged tyre as
shown in section ›››page359.
Use a specialised workshop for repair or re-
placement. To do so, CUPRA recommends go-
ing to a specialised CUPRA dealer or any SEAT
dealership.
The sealant at the lower part of the tyre tread
wraps around the foreign body and provision-
ally seals the tyre.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
An arrow on the tyre sidewall indicates the di-
rection of rotation on single drive tyres. Always
note the direction of rotation indicated when
mounting the wheel. This makes sure that op-
timal use is made of tyre properties in terms of
aquaplaning, grip, excessive noise and wear.
Subsequent tting of accessories
If you wish to change or t wheels, rims or
wheel trims, we recommend that you consult
with a specialised CUPRA Service or SEAT Oi-
cial Service centre for advice regarding current
technical recommendations.
Speed symbols
The speed rating indicates the maximum
speed permitted for the tyres.
