On-board toolkit

Fig. 213 Underneath the floor panel of the luggage compartment: on-board tools.

The vehicle tool kit is securely stored underneath the variable floor panel in the luggage compartment of your Seat Leon. To access the on-board tools, lift and secure the floor panel.

The complete tool kit includes the following items:

1. Adapter socket for the anti-theft wheel bolts
2. Removable towing eye anchor
3. Wheel bolt wrench
4. Crank handle for operating the vehicle jack
5. Lifting jack
6. Extraction hook for center wheel trims
7. Wire clip tool for removing wheel nut protective caps

Please note that some of the tools and accessories listed are only provided with certain specific model versions or are available as optional extras.

WARNING If the vehicle tool kit, the tire mobility set, or a spare wheel are left loose and unsecured inside the passenger cabin, they can be violently thrown around during sudden emergency braking maneuvers, sharp steering inputs, or traffic accidents, leading to severe personal injuries.

• Always ensure that the vehicle tool kit, the tire mobility set, and the spare wheel or temporary space-saving spare tire are safely fastened and secured in the luggage compartment.

WARNING Using unsuitable, worn, or damaged vehicle tools can cause slipping, mechanical failure, unexpected injuries, and accidents.

• Never attempt to perform emergency work with inappropriate, makeshift, or damaged tools.

Note The mechanical lifting jack does not generally require any routine maintenance. If required over time, moving parts and threads should be lubricated using a small amount of universal-type grease.
