Fitting a towing bracket
Driving with a trailer involves an extra effort
f
or the
v
ehicle. Therefore, before fitting a
towing bracket, please contact a Technical
Service to check whether your cooling system
needs modification.
The legal requirements in your country
must be observed (e.g. the fitting of a sepa-
rate control lamp).
Certain vehicle components, for example
the rear bumper, must be removed and rein-
stalled. The towing bracket securing bolts
must be tightened using a torque wrench,
and a power socket must be connected to the
vehicle electrical system. This requires speci-
alised knowledge and tools.
Figures in the illustration show the eleva-
tion value and the attachment points which
must be considered if you are retrofitting a
towing bracket.
WARNING
The towing brackets should be fitted at a spe-
cia
lised workshop.
If the towing bracket is incorrectly instal-
led, there is a serious danger of accident.
For your own safety, please observe the tow
bracket manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION
If the pow
er socket is incorrectly installed,
this could cause damage to the vehicle elec-
trical system.
Note
SEAT r
ecommends that the towing hooks
be fitted at a specialised workshop. In certain
versions this may entail fitting a heat insulat-
ing plate, which is why it is recommended
that you go to a SEAT Dealer. In the event that
the plate is not installed correctly, SEAT is ex-
empt from any liability.
Due to the specific design of the exhaust,
the fitting of a conventional towing hook is
not recommended for some sportier versions.
Plea
se consult your Technical Service.
