Seat Toledo 2019 Owner's Manual page 53

Find the support point on the strut (sunken
●
area) closest to the wheel to be changed
›››
Fig. 64.
Turn the jack*, located below the strut sup-
●
port point, to raise it until the tab is below the
›››
housing provided Fig. 65 .

Align the jack* so that the tab "grips" onto
●
the housing provided on the strut and the mo-
bile base is resting on the ground
. The base plate 2 should fall vertically with

respect to the support point.
Continue turning the jack* until the wheel is
●
slightly lifted off the ground.
WARNING
Make sure that the jack* remains stable.
●
If the surface is slippery or soft, the jack*
could slip or sink, respectively, with the re-
sultant risk of injury.
Only raise the vehicle with the jack* sup-
●
plied by the manufacturer. Other jacks,
even those approved for other SEAT mod-
els could slip, with the consequent risk of
injury.
Only mount the jack* on the support
●
points designed for this purpose on the
strut, and always align the jack correctly. If
you do not, the jack* could slip as it does
not have an adequate grip on the vehicle:
risk of injury!
The height of the parked vehicle can
●
change as a result of variations in tempera-
ture and loading.
The essentials
CAUTION
The vehicle must not be raised on the
crossbar. Only place the jack* on the
points designed for this purpose on the
strut. Otherwise, the vehicle may be dam-
aged.

Removing and fitting a wheel
Change the wheel after loosening the wheel
bolts and raising the vehicle with the jack.
Taking off the wheel
Unscrew the wheel bolts using the box
●
spanner and place them on a clean surface.
Take off the wheel.
●
Putting on the spare wheel
When fitting tyres with a compulsory rotation
direction, observe the instructions in
›››
page 51.
Mount the wheel.
●
Screw on the wheel bolts in position and
●
tighten them loosely with a box spanner.
Carefully lower the vehicle using the jack*.
●
Tighten the wheel bolts in diagonal pairs
●
using the wheel brace.
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn
easily. Before fitting the spare wheel, inspect
the wheel condition and hub mounting surfa-
ces. These surfaces must be clean before fit-
ting the wheel.
Tyres with compulsory direction of
rotation
A directional tread pattern can be identified
by the arrows on the sidewall that point in the
direction of rotation. Always observe the di-
rection of rotation indicated when fitting the
wheel to guarantee optimum properties of
this type of tyres with regard to grip, noises,
wear and aquaplaning.
If it is absolutely necessary to fit the spare
tyre* against the direction of rotation, drive
with care as this means the tyre does not of-
fer optimum driving properties. This is of par-
ticular importance when the road surface is
wet.
Replace the punctured tyre as soon as possi-
ble and restore the obligatory and correct di-
rection of rotation of all tyres.
Subsequent work
Alloy wheels: replace the wheel bolt caps.
●
Plate wheels: replace the wheel hubcap
