Tyre Repairs - Seat Toledo 2019 Owner's Manual

WARNING
If you have a puncture in moving traffic,
●
switch on the hazard warning lights and
place the warning triangle at the obliga-
tory distance. Observe applicable local le-
gal regulations. This is for your own safety
and that of other drivers.
If you have a flat tyre, stop the vehicle as
●
far away as possible from moving traffic.
Stop on flat, solid ground.
If you have to change the tyre on a gradi-
●
ent, block the wheel opposite the wheel
being changed by placing a stone or simi-
lar object under it to prevent the vehicle
from rolling away unexpectedly.
If the vehicle has been fitted with tyres or
●
alloys that are different to those fitted in
›››
manufacture, the instructions
New tyres or wheels must be followed.
Always raise the vehicle with the doors
●
closed.
Never place parts of your body, e.g. arms
●
and legs, underneath the vehicle when it is
supported only by the jack.
Secure the base of the jack with suitable
●
supports so that it cannot slip. The jack
could slide if the ground below it is soft and
slippery and the vehicle could slip off it.
Therefore, place the jack on a firm surface
or use a large, stable base. On a slippery
surface, e.g. tile, use a non-slip base such
as a rubber mat.
Never start the engine when the vehicle is
●
jacked. Risk of injury.
The jack should only be used in the cor-
●
rect jacking points.
CAUTION
The prescribed tightening torque for
●
wheel bolts on steel and alloy wheels is
120 Nm.
If the anti-theft wheel bolt is overly tight-
●
ened, this could damage the bolt and the
adapter.
Note
The set of anti-theft wheel bolts or the
●
adapter are available from authorised
page 258,
SEAT dealers.
Please observe the relevant local legal
●
regulations when changing the wheel.
Wheel bolts
The wheel bolts are matched to the rims.
When installing different wheels, e.g. to fit
light alloy wheels or wheels with winter tyres,
it is important to use the correct wheel bolts
with the right length and correctly shaped
bolt heads. This is essential for a secure fit of
the wheels and for proper operation of the
brake system.
Self-help
Note
Never grease or oil the wheel bolts!
●
If the wheel bolt is very tight, it may be
●
possible to loosen it by pushing down the
end of the box spanner carefully with your
foot. Hold on to the vehicle for support and
take care not to slip.
If you notice that the wheel bolts are rus-
●
ty and difficult to turn when changing a
wheel, they must be replaced before hav-
ing the tightening torque checked.
