Operation
descending a slope in order to take advant-

The trailer is incorporated into the vehicle's
anti-theft alarm system:
●
When the vehicle has a factory-fitted anti-
theft alarm and a towing bracket.
●
When the trailer is electrically connected to
the vehicle via the towing bracket socket.
●
When the vehicle electrical device and the
towing bracket are operational.
●
When the vehicle is locked and the vehi-
cle's anti-theft alarm device is activated.
Once the electrical connection is interrupted
with the vehicle trailer locked, the alarm
sounds.
Always switch off the vehicle anti-theft alarm
device before connecting or disconnecting a
trailer. The vehicle anti-theft alarm device
could cause the alarm to sound ››› page 116,
Anti-theft alarm*.
Engine overheating
In the event that the coolant temperature
gauge needle moves to the right section of
the scale or to the red area, immediately re-
duce speed. If the control lamp flashes on
the general instrument panel, stop the vehi-
cle and switch off the engine. Wait several
minutes and check the coolant level in the
tank ››› page 210.
Please observe the following indications
››› page 210, Control lamp.
The coolant temperature can be reduced by
switching on the heating.
WARNING
●
Adjust
your speed to suit the road and traf-
fic conditions.
●
An electrical installation that is connected
incorrectly or by non-specialised personnel
can prevent the connection of the current to
the trailer and cause faults in the operation of
the electrical system throughout the entire
vehicle, leading to accidents and serious in-
jury.
●
All electrical work must be carried out only
by specialised services.
●
Never directly connect the trailer electrical
device to the electrical sockets of the reverse
driving lights or other sources of electrical
current.
CAUTION
●
Avoid c
orners, and sudden and sharp brak-
ing.
●
Once the trailing arm has been removed,
place the corresponding cover on the hole of
the fastening point. This prevents dirt from
entering the hole – see the trailer system as-
sembly manual.
Note
●
In the event of
frequent journeys with a
trailer, we recommend also having the vehi-
cle inspected in between the service inter-
vals.
●
When connecting and disconnecting the
trailer, the handbrake must be applied.
●
For technical reasons, trailers with LED re-
verse lights cannot be incorporated into the
vehicle anti-theft alarm system.
Towing bracket device
Intr
oduction
If the vehicle is equipped with a towing
br
ac
k
et device from the factory or is a genu-
ine SEAT accessory, it meets all national tech-
nical and legal requirements for towing.
Your vehicle is fitted with a 13-pin power
socket for the electrical connection between
the trailer and the vehicle. If the trailer is
equipped with a 7-pin connector, you can
use the corresponding adaptor, which is
available as a genuine SEAT accessory.
The towing device has a maximum vertical
load of 50 kg.
