about wheels and tyres
General notes
When driving with new tyres, be especially
careful during the first 600 km (300 miles).
If you have to drive over a kerb or similar ob-
stacle, drive very slowly and as near as possi-
ble 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 profile tyres
Low profile tyres have a wider tread, a larger
wheel diameter and a lower sidewall height.
Therefore, its driving behaviour is more agile.
Low profile 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 neces-
sary to change the tyre.
Low profile 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360.
Use a specialised workshop for repair or re-
placement. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT
dealership for this.
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 opti-
mal use is made of tyre properties in terms of
aquaplaning, grip, excessive noise and wear.
Subsequent fitting of accessories
If you wish to change or fit wheels, rims or
wheel trims, we recommend that you consult
with a SEAT Ocial Service for advice regard-
ing current techniques.
Speed symbols
The speed rating indicates the maximum speed
permitted for the tyres.
