Changing a wheel
Wheels and tyres
WARNING
The factory-supplied jack is only designed
for changing wheels on this model. On no
account attempt to use it for lifting heavier
vehicles or other loads. Risk of injury.
●
Make sure the jack remains stable. If the
surface is slippery or soft, the jack could slip
or sink, respectively, with the consequent
risk of causing injuries.
●
Lift the vehicle using only the jack supplied
from the factory. Other jacks, even those ap-
proved for other CUPRA models could slip,
with the consequent risk of injury.
●
Place the jack only at the support points
provided on the strut and align it. Otherwise,
the jack could slip because it does not have
sufficient 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 additionally
to support the vehicle, there is a risk of acci-
dent!.
●
Never raise the vehicle if it is tilting to one
side or the engine is running.
"grips"

●
Never start the engine when the vehicle is
raised. The vehicle may come loose from the
jack due to the engine vibrations.

NOTICE
●
The vehicle must not be raised on the
crossbar. Place the jack only at the support
points provided on the strut and align it. Oth-
erwise, the vehicle may be damaged.
●
Any type of load or weight applied to the
external trim/door will (stepped on, fitting
the jack, resting heavy objects, etc.) can
cause damage to it. CUPRA accepts no re-
sponsibility for any damages caused by im-
proper use of the external trim or body.
Removing and installing a wheel
Change the wheel after loosening the wheel
bolts and raising the vehicle with the jack.
When removing/fitting the wheel, the rim may
hit and damage the brake disc. For this reason,
please take care and get a second person to
assist you.
Taking off the wheel
●
Unscrew the bolts with the wheel wrench
and place them on a clean surface.
●
Remove the wheel.
