SEAT recommends that towing brackets be ret-
r
ofitted 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.

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.
WARNING
If the cables are improperly or incorrectly
connect
ed, this may lead to malfunctions in
the entire vehicle electronic system, as well
as to accidents and serious injuries.
●
Never connect the trailer's electric sys-
tem to the electrical connections of the tail
lights or any other unsuitable power sources.
Only use suitable connectors to connect the
trailer.
●
The towing bracket should be retrofitted
only at a specialised workshop.
WARNING
If the towing bracket is badly fitt
ed or unsuit-
able, the trailer may separate from the ve-
hicle while driving. This could cause serious
accidents and fatal injuries.
Note
●
According to regulation EU2021_535 it is
not permitt
ed to install a towing device that
cannot be removed or retracted.
●
Only use towing brackets that have been
approved by SEAT for the model in question.
●
In some versions, the fitting of a conven-
tional towing hook solution is not recommen-
ded. Please consult your Technical Service.
