Storing objects
●
Once the tow hitch is pre-tensioned, do not
t
ouch the thumbwheel again. When the hitch
fits into its housing, the thumbwheel returns
to its original position.
●
If it is not possible to fit the tow hitch, go
to a properly qualified specialised workshop
and request an inspection of the tow hitch.
SEAT recommends a SEAT dealership.
●
Never use the hitch if it does not fit cor-
rectly or cannot be pre-tensioned.
●
Never use the tow hitch if, once the hitch
has been fitted, the key cannot be removed.
This means that the hitch is not locked cor-
rectly.
●
After removing the tow hitch, always store
it safely in the luggage compartment.
WARNING
If the trailer is not secured correctly, injuries
and accidents can occur
.
●
Never place the trailer’s safety or break-
away cable loosely over the tow hitch.
NOTICE
Fitting an unsuitable tow hitch could cause
damage t
o the vehicle and its approval could
be lost.
●
Use the factory supplied tow hitch or one
that has been approved for your vehicle
model and model year. SEAT recommends
the use of genuine SEAT spare parts and ac-
cessories, which can be purchased from the
brand’s dealers.
NOTICE
●
The housing on the vehicle, the thumb-
wheel, the st
ep and the locking balls of the
tow hitch must be clean and in good condi-
tion. Otherwise, it may not be possible to lock
the hitch correctly.
●
If you clean the vehicle with high pressure
or steam equipment, do not direct the jet
directly at the hitch housing, as this may
remove the grease required for lubrication
from the housing.
