Towing bracket device*
Note
CUPRA recommends removing, as far as
possible, all removable parts of the bicycles
before setting off. Examples of these parts
are baskets and saddlebags, child seats and
batteries. This improves the aerodynamics
and centre of gravity of the bicycle carrier
system.
Retrofitting a towing bracket
Description

Limits and attachment points for retrofit-
ting a towing bracket.
CUPRA recommends that towing brackets be
r
etr
ofitted 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 v
ehicle is fully loaded, including
the technically permissible maximum vertical
load on the coupling device.

can vary depending on the different chassis
