Trailer mode
When the vehicle is locked, the alarm is trig-
ger
ed if the electrical connection with the
trailer is cut o.
Before hitching or unhitching a trailer, always
turn o the anti-theft alarm. Otherwise, the tilt
sensor could cause the alarm to go o.
Trailers with LED tail lights
For technical reasons, trailers fitted with LED
rear lights cannot be connected to the anti-
theft alarm system.
When the vehicle is locked, the alarm does not
go o when the electrical connection with the
trailer is cut if it has rear lights with light-emit-
ting diodes.
If the Eco driving profile was selected when
hitching the trailer, this will automatically switch
to theNormal profile. If the system cannot de-
tect the attached trailer or if the towing bracket
has been retrofitted by an auto repair shop
other than SEAT, you must manually select the
Normal profile before you start driving with a
trailer attached. To reconnect the Eco profile
once the trailer has been unhitched, switch the
ignition o and back on once.
WARNING
If the cables are improperly or incorrectly
connect
ed, it may lead to an excessive
amount of current supplied to the trailer,
which can cause abnormalities in the entire
vehicle electronic system, as well as acci-
dents and serious injuries.
Ensure that any repairs that need to be
carried out on the electrical system are car-
ried out by a specialised workshop.
Never connect the trailer's electric system
directly to the electrical connections of the
tail lights or any other power sources.
WARNING
Contact between the pins of the trailer
po
wer socket can cause short circuits, over-
loading of the electrical system or failure of
the lighting system, and consequently can
cause accidents and serious injuries.
Never connect the pins of the trailer power
socket to each other.
Make sure any work on bent pins is carried
out by a specialised workshop.
NOTICE
Do not leave the trailer connected to the ve-
hicl
e when parked; place it on its support
wheel or its supports. If the vehicle rises or
falls due, for example, to a variation of the
load or a burst tyre, increased pressure will
be placed on the towing bracket and the
trailer, and both the vehicle and the trailer
can be damaged.
Note
In case of anomalies in the electrical sys-
t
ems of the vehicle or trailer, as well as in the
anti-theft alarm system, have them inspec-
ted by a specialised workshop.
If the trailer accessories consume energy
through the power socket to the trailer and
the engine is turned o, the battery will dis-
charge.
If the vehicle battery is running low, the
electrical connection with the trailer will be
automatically cut.
