fore fitting snow chains . The wheel bolts
should be covered with caps for safety rea-
sons. These are available from technical
services.
WARNING
The use of unsuitable or incorrectly fitted
chains could lead to serious accidents and
damage.

●
Observe the fitting instructions provided

by the snow chain manufacturer.
Never exceed the maximum permitted

CAUTION
Remove the snow chains to drive on

roads without snow. Otherwise they will im-
pair handling, damage the tyres and wear
out very quickly.
Wheel rims may be damaged or scratch-

with them. SEAT recommends the use of
covered snow chains.
