Roof carrier
WARNING
●
Always secure the load properly using
belts or r
etaining straps that are suitable and
in a good condition.
●
Bulky, heavy, long or flat loads have a neg-
ative eect on aerodynamics, the centre of
gravity and driving performance.
●
Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.
●
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and
trac conditions.
NOTICE
●
Remove the cross bars and the roof carrier
syst
em before entering a car wash.
●
Vehicle height is increased by the installa-
tion of cross bars or a roof carrier system
and the load secured on them. For this pur-
pose, check that your vehicle's height does
not surpass the headspace limit, for exam-
ple, for underpasses or for entering garage
doors.
●
Cross bars, the roof carrier system and the
load secured on them should not interfere
with the roof aerial or hamper the path of the
panoramic sun roof and the rear lid.
●
On opening the rear lid make sure that it
does not knock into the roof load.
For the sake of the environment
When cross bars and a roof carrier system
ar
e installed, the increased air resistance
means that the vehicle uses more fuel.

the roof. Suitable accessories can be acquired
at SEAT dealerships.
Always secure the crossbars and the roof car-
rier system properly. Always take the assembly
instructions that come with the crossbars and
the roof carrier system in question into account.
