Operation
CAUTION
●
Remo
ve the cross bars and the roof carri-
er system before entering a car wash.
●
Vehicle height is increased by the instal-
lation of cross bars or a roof carrier system
and the load secured on them. For this pur-
pose, check that your vehicle's height does
not surpass the headspace limit, for exam-
ple, for underpasses or for entering garage
doors.
●
Any cross bars, roof carrier systems or
loads secured to them must not interfere
with the roof aerial or block the path of the
rear lid.
●
On opening the rear lid make sure that it
does not knock into the roof load.
For the sake of the environment
When crossbars and a roof carrier system
are inst
alled, the increased air resistance
means that the vehicle uses more energy.

The crossbars are the basis of a series of
special r
oof carrier syst
ems. For safety rea-
sons, special fixtures must be used to safely
transport luggage, bicycles, skis, surf boards
or boats on the roof. Suitable accessories
can be acquired at SEAT dealerships.
Always secure the crossbars and the roof
carrier system properly. Always take the as-
sembly instructions that come with the cross-
bars and the roof carrier system in question
into account.
The holes or marks indicating the fitting
points for base supports are in the lower half
of the roof struts and can only be seen with
the door open

Check threaded joints and attachments
