Driving
If you detect any fault in the electrical
system or in the towing br
acket, contact a
specialised workshop and ask them to
check it.
If the ball has a diameter of less than 49
mm at any one point, do not use the towing
bracket under any circumstances.
CAUTION
If you clean the vehicle with high-pressure
or st
eam devices, do not point the jet di-
rectly towar
ds the retractable tow hook or
the trailer power socket, as this may dam-
age the joints or remove the grease neces-
sary for lubrication.
Note
At extremely low temperatures, the tow
hook may be impossible to operate. In this
case, pl
ace the vehicle in a warmer loca-
tion (for example, a garage).
Fitting a bicycle carrier on the re-

act
abl
e t
o
wbar
The maximum allowed weight of the carrier
syst
em, including the l
oad, is
75 k
g
. The carri-
er syst
em shoul
d not protrude more than 700
mm backwards from the spherical head. On-
ly carrier systems on which up to 3 bikes can
be mounted are allowed. Heavier bicycles
must be mounted as close to the vehicle as
possible (tow hook).
WARNING
The incorrect use of the tow hitch with a bi-
cycle rack mounted on the tow hook can
cause accidents and injury.
Nev
er exceed the maximum weight or the
limits indicated above.
The bicycle rack may not be mounted to
the neck of the hook below the ball be-
cause, due to the shape of the neck and
depending on the rack model, the rack
could be incorrectly mounted on the vehi-
cle.
Always read and take the manufacturer
assembly instructions into account.
CAUTION
If the maximum weight and limits indicated
above are exceeded, the vehicl
e may suf-
fer considerable damage.
Never exceed the values indicated!
Note
SEAT recommends removing, as far as pos-
sible, all removable par
ts of the bicycles
before setting off. These parts include, for
example, baskets and saddlebags, child
seats or batteries. This improves aerody-
namics and the centre of gravity of the rack
system.
