| Legal conditions for modifying wheel rim and tyre combinations |
| The rim/tyre combinations used on SEAT vehicles have been matched for the specific models. |
Caution | We recommend using only these rim/tyre combinations. Otherwise this poses a hazard for the vehicle safety and traffic safety with corresponding danger of an accident. |
| Any unauthorised modifications of the rim/tyre combinations or to the vehicle invalidate the guarantee. This also applies for all damage caused by such action including damage to other vehicles resulting from such modifications. |
|
| The manufacturer receives a general model approval (TÜV certificate) for the complete vehicle as well as for certain equipment conversion possibilities. |
| The wheels and tyres may only be changed under certain circumstances. The following points must be taken into consideration: |
| t
| When the specific rim/tyre combination is listed in the TÜV certificate together with the load index → Chapter and speed symbol → Chapter this rim/tyre combination can be mounted on the vehicle without exception. |
| It is possible that all approved combinations are not listed in the TÜV certificate according to the „homologation“. |
| t
| When the specific rim/tyre combination is not listed in the TÜV certificate, request a certification of „significant retrofit“ from the manufacturer. If the specific combination is already included in the „homologation“ for the vehicle, the manufacturer issues a certificate. |
| t
| When the specific rim/tyre combination is not listed in either the TÜV certificate or the „homologation“ it is necessary to request an approval study from the manufacturer. If the manufacturer this combination, it is necessary for this new rim/tyre combination to be included in the TÜV certificate for the vehicle. |
| These points relate to legal regulations applicable in the European Union and are not necessarily complete. Outside the European Union other legal regulations may apply. |
| The rim/tyre combination recommended by SEAT and approved by the Ministry for Industry Tourism and Commerce for the SEAT vehicles (TÜV certificate) take into consideration the prerequisites which must be observed in this context. The use of Genuine wheel rims on a vehicle to which they have not been assigned is not permitted. |
| In the event of possible changes to the equipment given in the corresponding lists, the combinations satisfy the requirements of SEAT S.A. in regard to the driving characteristics and driving safety. They are the result of practical tests performed on the basis of SEAT S.A. recommendations. |
