Trailer mode
If the v
ehicle is retrofitted with a tow bracket,
only a bracket that is authorised for the max-
imum authorised load of the trailer that is to
be towed may be fitted. The towing bracket
must be suitable for the vehicle and the trailer
and must be properly secured to the vehicle's
chassis. Only use a towing bracket that has
been authorised by SEAT for this vehicle. Al-
ways check and take into account the towing
bracket manufacturer's instructions.
Towing bracket fitted on the bumper
Never fit a towing bracket to the bumper or to
the area where the bumper is mounted. The
towing bracket should not impair the bumper's
function. Do not make modifications or repairs
to the exhaust system or the brake system.
Make regular checks to ensure that the towing
bracket is secure.
Engine cooling system
Driving with a trailer increases the load on the
engine and cooling system. The cooling system
should have sucient coolant and be prepared
for the additional eort involved in driving with
a trailer.
Trailer brakes
If the trailer has its own brake system, please
take the relevant legal requirements into ac-
count. Never connect the trailer's brake system
to the vehicle's brake system.
Tow cable
Always use a cable between the vehicle and
the trailer ›››page268.
Trailer tail lights
The trailer's rear lights should comply with the
statutory safety regulations ›››page268.
Never connect the trailer's rear lights directly
to the vehicle's electric system. If you are not
sure that the trailer's electrical connection is
correct, have it checked by a specialised work-
shop. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT dealer-
ship for this.
Exterior mirrors
If you cannot see the area behind the trailer
with the exterior mirrors of the towing vehicle,
additional mirrors will have to be installed in
accordance with the regulations of the country
in question. The exterior mirrors should be ad-
justed before you start driving and must provide
a sucient field of vision at the rear.
