Loading the roof carrier system
The load can only be secured if the crossbars
and the roof carrier system are properly instal-
led››› .
Maximum authorised cargo on the roof
The maximum permissible roof load is 75kg.
This gure comes from the combined weight
of the roof carrier, the cross bars and the load
itself on the roof ››› .
Always check the weight of the roof carrier sys-
tem (roof box, bicycle carrier, ski rack, etc.), of
the cross bars and of the load to be transpor-
ted and weigh them if necessary. Never exceed
the maximum authorised roof load.
If you are using cross bars and a roof carrier
with a lower weight rating, you will not be able
to carry the maximum authorised roof load. In
this case, do not exceed the maximum weight
limit for the roof carrier which is listed in the
tting instructions.
Distributing a load
Distribute loads uniformly and secure them
correctly ››› .
Check attachments
Once the cross bars and roof carrier system
have been installed, check the bolted connec-
tions and attachments after a short journey
and subsequently with a certain frequency.
WARNING
●
Never exceed the maximum authorised
load on the roof and on the axles or the vehi-
cle's maximum authorised weight.
●
Never exceed the load capacity of the cross
bars and the roof carrier system, even if the
maximum authorised roof load has not been
reached.
●
Secure heavy items as far forward as possi-
ble and distribute the vehicle load uniformly.
WARNING
If the load is loose or not secured, it could
fall from the roof carrier system or cause ac-
cidents and injuries.
●
Always use belts or retaining straps that are
suitable and in a good condition.
Trailer mode
Introduction
Take into account country-specic regulations
about driving with a trailer and the use of a
towing bracket.
The vehicle has been developed primarily for
carrying people, although it can also be used
to tow a trailer if tted with the corresponding
technical equipment. This additional load has
an eect on the useful life, fuel consumption
and vehicle performance and in some cases
can reduce the service intervals.
Driving with a trailer requires more force from
the vehicle, and thus more concentration from
the driver.
In winter, winter tyres should be tted on both
the vehicle and the trailer.
Maximum vertical load technically permitted
on the coupling device
The maximum vertical load technically permit-
ted from the trailer draw bar on the towing
bracket's tow ball is 80kg.
Vehicles with the Start-Stop system
If the vehicle has a factory-tted towing
bracket or one that is retrotted by CUPRA,
the Start-Stop system operates as normal. No
special characteristics need to be taken into
account.
If the system does not recognise the trailer or
the trailer bracket has not been retrotted by
CUPRA, the Start-Stop system must be discon-
nected by pressing the corresponding button
in the lower part of the centre console before
driving with the trailer, and it should remain o
for the rest of the journey›››
