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 vehi-
cles, and only with the tyre and rim combina-
tions listed below:
Tyre size
205/60 R16
SEAT recommends you ask a technical serv-
ice for further information on wheel, tyre and
chain sizes.
Wherever possible use fine-link chains meas-
uring less than 15 mm (37/64 inch) includ-
ing the lock.
Remove wheel hub covers and trim rings be-
fore fitting snow chains
should be covered with caps for safety rea-
sons. These are available from technical serv-
ices.

chains could lead to serious accidents and
damage.
● Always the appropriate snow chains.
Observe the fitting instructions provided by
●
the snow chain manufacturer.
● Never exceed the maximum permitted
speeds when driving with snow chains.

without snow. Otherwise they will impair

handling, damage the tyres and wear out very
quickly.
