Towing bracket device*
Before hitching or unhitching a trailer, always
t
urn off
the anti-thef
t alarm. Otherwise, the
tilt sensor could cause the alarm to go off.
Trailers with LED rear lights
For technical reasons, trailers fitted with LED
rear lights cannot be connected to the anti-
theft alarm system.
When the vehicle is locked, the alarm does
not go off when the electrical connection with
the trailer is cut if it has rear lights with light-
emitting diodes.
If the Eco driving profile was selected when
hitching the trailer, this will automatically
switch to the Normal profile. If the system
cannot detect the attached trailer or if the
towing bracket has been retrofitted by an au-
to repair shop other than SEAT, you must
manually select the Normal profile before you
start driving with a trailer attached. To recon-
nect the Eco profile once the trailer has been
unhitched, switch the ignition off and back
on once.
WARNING
If the cables are improperly or incorrectly
connected, it
may lead to an excessive
amount of current supplied to the trailer,
which can cause abnormalities in the entire
vehicle electronic system, as well as acci-
dents and serious injuries.
●
Ensur
e that any repairs that need to be car-
ried out on the electrical system are carried
out by a specialised workshop.
●
Never connect the trailer's electric system
directly to the electrical connections of the
tail lights or any other power sources.
WARNING
Contact between the pins of the trailer power
soc
ket
can cause short circuits, overloading
of the electrical system or failure of the light-
ing system, and consequently can cause acci-
dents and serious injuries.
●
Never connect the pins of the trailer power
socket to each other.
●
Make sure any work on bent pins is carried
out by a specialised workshop.
CAUTION
Do not leave the trailer connected to the vehi-
cle when p
arked; place it on its support
wheel or its supports. If the vehicle rises or
falls due, for example, to a variation of the
load or a burst tyre, increased pressure will
be placed on the towing bracket and the trail-
er, and both the vehicle and the trailer can be
damaged.
Note
●
In case of
malfunctioning of the electrical
systems of the vehicle or trailer, as well as of
the anti-theft system, have these checked out
by a s
pecialised workshop.
●
If the trailer accessories consume energy
through the power socket to the trailer and
the engine is turned off, the battery will dis-
charge.
●
If the vehicle battery is running low, the
electrical connection with the trailer will be
automatically cut.

The information on the maximum trailer

bracket are experimental values only. The
correct figures for your specific model, which
may be lower than these figures, are given in
the vehicle documentation. The information
in the vehicle documentation takes prece-
