Changing A Wheel - Seat Mii 2013 Owner's Manual

Changing a wheel

Introduction
Some vehicle versions and models do not have a factory-fitted jack or box
spanner. In this case, we recommend consulting a Specialised workshop to
change the wheel.
You should only change the wheels yourself if the vehicle is parked in a safe
place, you are familiar with the procedure and you have all the necessary
tools! Otherwise, you should seek professional assistance.

WARNING
Changing a wheel can be dangerous, especially on the hard shoulder.
Please observe the following rules to minimise the risk of injury:
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. Park your vehicle as safe
distance from surrounding traffic to change a wheel.
● When changing a wheel, keep all passengers and particularly chil-
dren a safe distance away from the work area.
● Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn other road users.
● Ensure the ground on which you park is flat and solid. If necessary,
support the jack on a wide solid base.

WARNING (Continued)
● If you are changing a wheel yourself, you should be familiar with the
required procedure. Otherwise, you should seek professional assistance.
● Only use suitable tools that are not damaged when changing a wheel.
● Always switch off the engine, pull the handbrake lever all the way up
and engage a gear in the case of a manual gearbox in order to reduce the
danger of involuntary vehicle movement.
● Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked as soon as
possible with a reliable torque wrench.
