Roof carrier
NOTICE
●
Remove the cross bars and the roof carrier
system before entering a car wash.
●
Vehicle height is increased by the installa-
tion 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 example,
for underpasses or for entering garage doors.
●
Cross bars, the roof carrier system and the
load secured on them should not interfere
with the roof aerial or hamper the path of the
panoramic sun roof and 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 cross bars and a roof carrier system are
installed, the increased air resistance means
that the vehicle uses more fuel.
Securing the crossbars and the
roof carrier system
Fig.194 Attachment points for the roof
railings for the roof carrier system.
The crossbars are the basis of a series of spe-
cial roof carrier systems. For safety reasons,
special xtures must be used to safely trans-
port luggage, bicycles, skis, surf boards or
boats on the roof. The appropriate accessories
can be purchased at specialised CUPRA deal-
ers or any SEAT dealership.
Always secure the crossbars and the roof car-
rier system properly. Always take the assem-
bly instructions that come with the crossbars
and the roof carrier system in question into
account.
Installing the bars
The crossbars are assembled on the roof
railings. The distance between crossbars

should be between 70 and
90cm and the distance between the crossbars
and the brackets of the roof railings

must be
9cm.
WARNING
Incorrect attachment and use of the cross-
bars and the roof carrier system may cause
the whole system to detach from the roof
and cause an accident and injuries.
●
Always take the manufacturer assembly in-
structions into account.
●
Check threaded joints and attachments
travelling and if necessary tighten them after
you have travelled a short distance. When
making long trips, check the threaded joints
whenever you stop for a rest.
●
Do not modify or repair the crossbars or
roof carrier system.
Note
Always read the assembly instructions that
come with the crossbars and the roof carrier
system carefully and keep them in the vehi-
cle.
