WARNING
The incorrect use of a rear carrier system in-
st
alled on the tow hook can cause accidents
and injury.
●
Make sure that the carrier system is suita-
ble for your vehicle.
●
Read and observe the installation instruc-
tions of the rear carrier system manufacturer.
●
Never attach a rear carrier system below
the ball head of the trailer hitch. The system
could slip due to the shape of the hitch.
Note
Before setting o, SEAT r
ecommends remov-
ing, to the extent possible, all accessories
from the load attached to the carrier system.
Examples of these accessories are baskets
and panniers, child seats or batteries. This
improves the aerodynamics and centre of
gravity of the rear carrier system.

SEAT recommends that towing brackets be ret-
rofitted at a specialised workshop. For exam-
ple, it may very well be necessary to adjust
the cooling system or mount thermal protection
plates. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT deal-
ership for this.
If a towing bracket is retrofitted, the distance
specifications should always be kept in mind.

head and the road ›››Fig.200

must never
be l
ess than that indicated. This also applies
when the vehicle is fully loaded, including the
technically permissible maximum vertical load
on the coupling device.
