Towing bracket device
Trailer rear lights
The r
ear lights of a tr
ail
er must fulfil the corre-
sponding standards
›››
page 305.
Never connect the trailer's rear lights directly
to the vehicle electric system. In case of any
doubt about the electrical connection of the
trailer, ask a specialised workshop. SEAT rec-
ommends visiting a technical service.
Wing mirrors
When the field of vision behind the trailer
cannot be seen using the standard wing mir-
rors of the towing vehicle, additional wing mir-
rors are required according to the legal re-
quirements of each country. The wing mirrors
must be fitted before driving and must pro-
vide a sufficient field of vision behind.
Trailer electricity consumption
Never exceed the specifications:
Devices Maximum power
Side lights and rear lights 50 Watts
Turn signal (each side) 54 Watts
Brake lights (total) 84 Watts
Reversing lights (total) 42 Watts
Rear fog light 42 Watts
WARNING
If the tow hitch is badly fitted or unsuitable,
the trailer may separ
ate from the vehicle
causing an accident with serious conse-
quences.
CAUTION
●
If the rear lights of the trail
er are not cor-
rectly connected, the vehicle electronics
may be damaged.
●
If the trailer absorbs excessive electric
current, the vehicle electronics may be
damaged.
●
Never connect the trailer's electric sys-
tem to the electrical connections of the
rear lights or any other power sources. On-
ly use suitable connections for providing
electric current to the trailer.
Note
●
Towing a tr
ailer places additional de-
mands on the vehicle. At SEAT, we recom-
mend additional services between the nor-
mal inspection intervals if the vehicle is
used frequently for towing a trailer.
●
In some countries, an additional fire ex-
tinguisher is required if the trailer weight is
more than 2500 kg
