Emergency Towing Of The Vehicle - Seat TOLEDO Owner's Manual

In winter road conditions, snow chains not
only help to improve grip but also improve
the braking capacity.
For technical reasons snow chains may only
be used on tyres with the following wheel
rim/tyre combinations.
Rim size Rim offset
a)
5J x 14 35 mm
6J x 15 b) 38 mm
b)
6J x 15 38 mm
a)
Only use snow chains with fine-pitch links and lock no greater
than 9 mm.
b)
Only use snow chains with fine-pitch links and lock no greater
than 13 mm.
Remove the wheel trims before fitting snow
chains.
CAUTION
Chains must be removed when roads are free
of snow. Otherwise they will impair handling,
damage the tyres and wear out very quickly.
