Transport and practical equipment
WARNING
If unsuitable or damaged belts or retaining
strap
s are used, they may break in the event
of braking or an accident. Objects could then
be launched across the passenger compart-
ment and cause serious or fatal injuries.
It is important to always use belts or retain-
ing straps that are suitable and in a good
condition.
Belts and retaining straps should be se-
curely fastened to the fastening rings.
Objects in the luggage compartment that
are unsecured could move suddenly and mod-
ify the handling of the vehicle.
Small light objects should also be fixed in
place.
A child seat should never be secured with
the fastening rings.
Note
The maximum t
ensile load that the fasten-
ing rings can support is 3.5 kN.
Belts and securing systems for the appro-
priate load can be obtained from specialised
dealerships. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT dealership for this.
Retaining hooks
Fig. 140 In the luggage compartment: retain-
in
g hook
s
There may be hooks in the upper left and
right
p
ar
t of the luggage compartment.
WARNING
Never use these hooks to secure objects. In
case of
sudden braking or an accident, they
could rupture.
CAUTION
The hooks can support a maximum of 2.5 kg
each.
Roof carrier
Intr
oduction
The vehicle roof has been designed to opti-
mise aerody
namics. For this reason, conven-
tional roof carrier systems cannot be secured
to the water drains.
Given that the water drains have been incor-
porated into the roof for aerodynamic rea-
sons, only the SEAT approved basic supports
and roof carrier systems can be used.
When the roof carrier system should be re-
moved:
When they are not used.
When the vehicle is being washed in a car
wash.
When the
vehicle height exceeds the maxi-
mum height, for example, in some garages.
WARNING
The risk of an accident is increased by trans-
porting he
avy or bulky loads on the roof,
which affects the car's handling by shifting
the centre of gravity and increasing suscepti-
bility to cross winds.
Always secure loads correctly with suitable
and undamaged attachment rope or straps.
Large, heavy, wide and flat loads negatively
affect the vehicle aerodynamics, centre of
gravity and handling.
