302 Wheels and tyres
Note
If the vehicle is fitted with a tyre control system, this should be "repro-
grammed" whenever a tyre is changed
Please ask at SEAT qualified workshops for information about the
permitted sizes for winter tyres.
Snow chains
When using snow chains, applicable local legislation and maximum
permitted speed limits must be observed.
In winter weather, snow chains not only help to improve grip but also improve
the braking capacity.
Snow chains must only be mounted on the front wheels, even on all-wheel
drive vehicles, and only with the tyre and rim combinations listed below:
Tyre size
205/60 R16
SEAT recommends you ask a SEAT qualified workshop for further information
on wheel, tyre and chain sizes.
Wherever possible use fine-link chains measuring less than 15 mm (37/64
inch) including the lock.
Remove wheel hub covers and trim rings before fitting snow chains
The wheel bolts should be covered with caps for safety reasons. These are
available from qualified workshops.

WARNING
The use of unsuitable or incorrectly fitted chains could lead to serious acci-
dents and damage.
Always use the appropriate snow chains.
Observe the fitting instructions provided by the snow chain manufac-
turer.
Never exceed the maximum permitted speeds when driving with snow
chains.
Caution
You must remove the snow chains to drive on roads which are free of
snow. Otherwise they will impair handling, damage the tyres and wear out
very quickly.
Wheel rims may be damaged or scratched if the chains come into direct
contact with them. SEAT recommends the use of covered snow chains.
Note
Snow chains are available in different sizes according to the vehicle type.
