The essentials
WARNING
If the vehicle is not correctly raised, it could
fall off the jack causing serious injury. Please
observe the following rules to minimise the
risk of injury:
You should only use a jack approved by
●
SEAT for your vehicle. Other jacks, even those
approved for other SEAT models, might slip
out of place.
●
The ground should be firm and flat. If the
ground is sloped or soft then the vehicle
could slip and fall off the jack. If necessary,
support the jack on a wide solid base.
●
If the ground is slippery, such as tiles,
place a non-slip surface (a floor mat, for in-
stance) beneath the jack to avoid slipping.
Only fit the jack at the prescribed jacking
●
points. The claw of the jack should grip the
reinforcement nerve on the underbody

You should never place a body limb such as
●
an arm or leg under a raised vehicle that is
solely supported by the jack.
●
If you have to work underneath the vehicle,
you must use suitable stands additionally to
support the vehicle, there is a risk of acci-
dent!.

Never raise the vehicle if it is tilting to one
side or the engine is running.
●
Never start the engine when the vehicle is
raised. The vehicle may come loose from the
jack due to the engine vibrations.
