136 Seats and storage
Note
Ensure that, when placing items of clothing on the luggage compart-
ment cover, rear visibility is not reduced.
If your vehicle has a storage compartment*, only place light objects in-
side.
Roof rack*
Please observe the following points if you intend to carry loads on the roof:
For safety reasons, only luggage racks and accessories supplied by SEAT
Official Services are recommended.
It is essential that you follow the assembly instructions included with
the bars exactly, being especially careful to position front and rear luggage
compartment cover bars on the special housings on the longitudinal bars.
You must also respect their position according to the direction of travel indi-
cated in the assembly manual. Not following these instructions may dam-
age the bodywork.
Pay special attention to the tightening torque of the attachment bolts
and check them following a short journey. If necessary, retighten the bolts
and check them at regular intervals.
Distribute the load evenly. A maximum load of 40 kg only is permitted
for each roof rack system support bar, the load must be distributed evenly
along the entire length. However, the maximum load permitted for the en-
tire roof (including the support system) of 75 kg must not be exceeded nor
should the total weight of the vehicle be exceeded. See the Technical Data
section.
When transporting heavy or large objects on the roof, any change in the
normal vehicle behaviour due to a change in the centre of gravity or an in-
creased wind resistance must be taken into account. For this reason, a suit-
able speed and driving style must be used.
For those vehicles fitted with a sliding/tilting sunroof*, ensure that it
does not interfere with the load on the roof rack system when opened.
