Trailer brakes
If the trailer has its own brake system, please
take the relevant legal requirements into ac-
count. Never connect the trailer's brake system
to the vehicle's brake system.
Tow cable
Always use a cable between the vehicle and
the trailer ›››page312.
Trailer tail lights
The trailer's rear lights should comply with the
statutory safety regulations ›››page312.
Never connect the trailer's rear lights directly
to the vehicle's electric system. If you are not
sure that the trailer's electrical connection is
correct, have it checked by a specialised work-
shop. To do so, CUPRA recommends going to a
specialised CUPRA dealer or any SEAT dealer-
ship.
Exterior mirrors
If you cannot see the area behind the trailer
with the exterior mirrors of the towing vehicle,
additional mirrors will have to be installed in
accordance with the regulations of the coun-
try in question. The exterior mirrors should be
adjusted before you start driving and must pro-
vide a suicient eld of vision at the rear.
WARNING
If the towing bracket is wrongly
tted or is
not the right one, the trailer could become
detached from the vehicle and cause serious
injury.

If the rear lights of the trailer are not
correctly connected, the vehicle's electronic
system may be damaged.

If the trailer absorbs excessive electric cur-
rent, the vehicle's electronic system may be
damaged.

Never connect the trailer's electric system
directly to the electrical connections of the
tail lights or any other power sources. Only
