Remove any central wheel trims before fitting
snow chains.
WARNING
The use of unsuitable or incorrectly fitted
chains could lead to serious accidents and
damage.
●
Always use appropriate snow chains.
●
Observe the fitting instructions provided by
the snow chain manufacturer.
●
Never exceed the speed limits when driving
with snow chains.
●
Before fitting the chains, check that the
wheel/tyre combination on the table is the
one installed on your vehicle. The combina-
tion can also be found on the technical data-
sheet.
NOTICE
●
Remove the snow chains to drive on roads
without snow. Otherwise they will impair ve-
hicle 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.
