Location and use of the temporary
spare wheel
Fig.241 In the luggage compartment: raised
load floor.
Fig.242 In the boot: remove the subwoofer.
The temporary spare wheel is stored under the
floor panel in the luggage compartment and is
attached by a thumbnut.
The temporary spare wheel has been designed
to be used for short periods of time. Have the
tyres checked and replaced as soon as possi-
ble at a SEAT Ocial Service or at a special-
ised workshop.
The spare wheel must not be switched for a
spare wheel from another vehicle.

Chains
For technical reasons, snow chains must not be
used on the temporary spare wheel.
If you have a puncture on one of the front
wheels when using snow chains, fit the tempo-
rary spare wheel in place of one of the rear
wheels. Fit the snow chains on the rear wheel
that you have removed and replace the punc-
tured front wheel with this wheel.
