event of a puncture, and the vehicle should
be driven with care. Refit the normal road
wheel as soon as possible.
Manufacturing date
The manufacturing date is also indicated on
the tyre sidewall (or on the inside face of the
wheel):
DOT ... 2218 ...
it means, for example, that the tyre was man-
ufactured in the 22nd week of 2018.
WARNING
Use only combinations of tyres and rims,
●
as well as suitable wheel nuts, approved by
SEAT. Otherwise the vehicle may be dam-
aged, causing an accident.
For technical reasons it is not possible to
●
use wheels of other vehicles; in some cases
not even wheels from the same vehicle
model should be used.
Always ensure that the tyres you have
●
chosen have adequate clearance. When
selecting replacement tyres, do not rely
entirely on the nominal tyre size marked on
the tyre, since the nominal tyre size can dif-
fer significantly depending on the manu-
facturer. Lack of clearance can damage
the tyres or the vehicle and, as a result, en-
danger road safety. Risk of accident!
Only use tyres that are over 6 years old in
●
an emergency, and drive with due care.

Practical tips
The fitting of tyres with run-flat proper-
●
ties is not permitted on your vehicle! Pro-
hibited use can cause accidents or can
damage your vehicle.
If decorative hubcaps are subsequently
●
fitted, make sure that they allow enough air
in to cool the braking system. Risk of acci-
dent!
For the sake of the environment
Old tyres must be disposed of according to
the laws in the country concerned.
Note
A SEAT Service Centre should be consul-
●
ted to find out whether wheels or tyres of
different sizes to those originally fitted by
SEAT can be fitted, and to find out about
the combinations allowed between the
front axle (axle 1) and the rear axle (axle 2).
Never mount used tyres if you are not
●
sure of their "previous history".
Tyre life

Correct inflation pressures and sensible driv-
ing habits will increase the useful life of your
tyres.
Check tyre pressure at least once a month,
●
and also prior to any long trip.
The tyre pressure should only be checked
●
when the tyres are cold. Do not reduce the
pressure of warm tyres.
Adjust tyre pressure to the load being car-
