If you use V-rated tyres the speed limits and
tyre pressure will be determined by engine
size. Please ask your technical service centre
for further information on the maximum per-

All-wheel drive*
Thanks to its all-wheel drive, your car will
have plenty of traction in winter conditions,
even with the standard tyres. Nevertheless,
SEAT still recommend that winter tyres or all-
season tyres should be fitted on all four
wheels when winter road conditions are ex-
pected, mainly because this will give a better
braking response.

For the sake of the environment
When winter is over, change back to summer
tyres when you have the time. In tempera-
tures above +7 °C (+45 °F), performance will
be improved if summer tyres are used. Fuel
consumption, wear and noises while driving
will all be reduced.
Note
● If the vehicle is fitted with a tyre control
system, this should be "reprogrammed"
whenever a tyre is changed
● Please ask at a technical service centre for
information about the permitted sizes for
winter tyres.
