The wheel nuts should only be loosened
●
slightly (about one turn) before raising the
vehicle with the jack. Risk of accident!
Never apply grease or oil to wheel nuts or
●
to the wheel hub threads. Even if the bolts
have been tightened to the prescribed tor-
que, they could come loose while driving.
Never loosen the screwed joints of wheel
●
rims with bolted ring trims.
If wheel nuts are tightened below the
●
prescribed torque, the bolts and rims could
come loose while driving. If tightening tor-
que is too high, the wheel nuts or threads
can be damaged.

the vehicle.
Place the jack* (vehicle tools) on firm
●
ground. If necessary use a large, strong
board or similar support. If the surface is slip-
pery (for example tiles) place the jack on a
rubber mat or similar to prevent it from slip-

Find the support point on the strut (sunken

area) closest to the wheel to be changed

Turn the jack* crank handle, located below
●
the strut support point, to raise it until the

Continue turning the jack* until the wheel is
●
slightly lifted off the ground.
WARNING
The factory-supplied jack* is only de-
signed for changing wheels on this model.
On no account attempt to use it for lifting
heavier vehicles or other loads. Risk of in-
jury.
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!
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 vehi-
●
cle, you must use suitable stands addition-
ally to support the vehicle, there is a risk of
"grips" onto
accident!.
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.
