Driving
Note
CUPRA recommends removing, as far as
possible, 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.
Retrofitting a towing bracket
Description

Limits and attachment points for retrofit-
ting a towing bracket.
CUPRA recommends that towing brackets be
retrofitted at a specialised workshop. For ex-
ample, it may very well be necessary to ad-
just the cooling system or mount thermal
protection plates. To do so, CUPRA recom-
mends going to a specialised CUPRA dealer
or any SEAT dealership.
If a towing bracket is retrofitted, the distance
specifications should always be kept in mind.

when the vehicle is fully loaded, including
the technically permissible maximum vertical
load on the coupling device.
