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

SEAT recommends you ask a technical serv-
ice for further information on wheel, tyre and
chain sizes.
Wherever possible use fine-link chains meas-
uring less than 15 mm (37/64 inch) includ-
ing the lock.
Remove wheel hub covers and trim rings be-
fore fitting snow chains
should be covered with caps for safety rea-
sons. These are available from technical serv-
ices.
WARNING
The use of unsuitable or incorrectly fitted
chains could lead to serious accidents and
damage.
Always the appropriate snow chains.
●
● Observe the fitting instructions provided by
the snow chain manufacturer.
Never exceed the maximum permitted
●
speeds when driving with snow chains.
CAUTION
● Remove the snow chains to drive on roads
without snow. Otherwise they will impair
handling, damage the tyres and wear out very
quickly.
Wheel rims may be damaged or scratched if
●
the chains come into direct contact with
them. SEAT recommends the use of covered
snow chains.

Tow rope or tow bar
When towing, the tow bar is the safest and
vehicle friendly way. You should only use a
tow rope if you do not have a tow bar.
A tow rope should be slightly elastic to avoid
damage to both vehicles. It is advisable to
use a tow rope made of synthetic fibre or sim-
ilarly elastic material.
