Aft
er hooking up the trailer and connect-
ing the socket, check that all the trailer's
rear lights are working properly.
Note
●
If ther
e is any fault in the trailer's lighting,
check the fuses on the instrument panel
›››
page 55.
●
The contact between the retainer cable
and the safety lug may give cause wear in
the lug. This wear does not stop it from op-
erating properly and is not a fault. It is ex-
cluded from the warranty.
●
When hitching and unhitching the trailer,
the vehicle's handbrake should be applied.
Installing a bicycle carrier on the
t
ow bar
The maximum permitted weight of the bicy-
cl
e carrier system, including the load, is 50
kg. The bicycle carrier system may not pro-
trude more than 700 mm behind the ball
head. Only bicycle carrier systems for a max-
imum of 2 bicycles are allowed to be instal-
led. Heavier bicycles must be carried as
close to the vehicle (tow hook) as possible.
WARNING
The incorrect use of the towing device with
a bicycl
e carrier mounted on the tow hook
can cause accidents and injury.
●
Never 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
abo
ve are exceeded, the vehicle may suf-
fer considerable damage.
●
Never exceed the values indicated!
Note
SEAT recommends removing, as far as pos-
sibl
e, all removable parts 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.
