Action in the event of a punc-
ture
What to do first
The SEAT Alhambra is equipped as standard
with anti-puncture technology tyres (Conti-
Seal). In the event of a puncture or air leak of
up to 5 mm, the tyre seals the hole with a pro-
tective layer inside the tread.
The inclusion of this technology means that
there is no type of spare wheel included in
the vehicle's equipment.
Park the vehicle on a horizontal surface and
●
in a safe place as far away from traffic as
possible.
Apply the handbrake.
●
Switch on the hazard warning lights.
●
Manual transmission: select the 1st gear.
●
Automatic transmission: Move the selector
●
lever to position P.
If you are towing a trailer, unhitch it from
●
your vehicle.
Keep the vehicle tool kit ready*
