WARNING
The incorrect use of a rear carrier system in-
stalled on the tow hook can cause accidents
and injury.
●
Make sure that the carrier system is suita-
ble for your vehicle.
●
Read and observe the installation instruc-
tions of the rear carrier system manufac-
turer.
●
Never attach a rear carrier system below
the ball head of the trailer hitch. The system
could slip due to the shape of the hitch.
Note
Before setting o, CUPRA recommends re-
moving, to the extent possible, all accesso-
ries from the load attached to the carrier
system. Examples of these accessories are
baskets and panniers, child seats or batteries.
This improves the aerodynamics and centre
of gravity of the rear carrier system.

CUPRA recommends that towing brackets be
retrotted at a specialised workshop. For ex-
ample, it may very well be necessary to adjust
the cooling system or mount thermal protec-
tion plates. To do so, CUPRA recommends go-
ing to a specialised CUPRA dealer or any SEAT
dealership.
If a towing bracket is retrotted, the distance
specications should always be kept in mind.
The distance between the centre of the ball
head and the road ›››Fig.199

must never
be less than that indicated. This also applies
when the vehicle is fully loaded, including the
technically permissible maximum vertical load
on the coupling device.
