Attempt to change a wheel on your Seat Leon yourself only if you are fully familiar with the required mechanical procedures and safety protocols, possess all necessary tools, and can park the vehicle in a secure location.

Preliminary actions

• Park your vehicle securely on a flat, level surface as far away from moving road traffic as possible.
• Engage the electronic parking brake firmly.
• Activate the hazard warning lights to alert oncoming motorists.
• For manual transmission models: engage 1st gear.
• For automatic transmission models: select the parking lock position P.
• If you are towing a trailer, unhitch it completely from your vehicle before starting any wheel change procedure.
• Retrieve and lay out the necessary on-board tool kit alongside the replacement wheel.
• Always comply with local roadside safety regulations and laws (such as wearing a high-visibility reflective vest, placing warning triangles, or setting up safety beacons).
• Instruct all vehicle occupants to exit the cabin immediately and wait safely away from the active traffic zone, such as behind a highway guardrail.

WARNING

• Always execute these preliminary steps meticulously to protect yourself, your passengers, and other road users from harm.
• If an unexpected roadside situation forces you to change a wheel on an incline or slope, securely block the wheel on the opposite side of the car with a heavy stone, chock, or wedge to prevent the vehicle from rolling unexpectedly.
