CUPRA recommends that towing brackets be
retrotted 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 retrotted, the distance
specications should always be kept in mind.

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.
WARNING
If the cables are improperly or incorrectly
connected, this may lead to malfunctions in
the entire vehicle electronic system, as well
as to accidents and serious injuries.
●
Never connect the trailer's electric sys-
tem to the electrical connections of the tail
lights or any other unsuitable power sources.
Only use suitable connectors to connect the
trailer.
●
The towing bracket should be retrotted
only at a specialised workshop.
WARNING
If the towing bracket is badly tted or unsuit-
able, the trailer may separate from the vehi-
cle while driving. This could cause serious ac-
cidents and fatal injuries.
Note
●
According to regulation EU2021_535 it is
not permitted to install a towing device that
cannot be removed or retracted.
●
Only use towing brackets that have been
approved by CUPRA for the model in ques-
tion.
●
In some versions, the tting of a conven-
tional towing hook solution is not recom-
mended. Please consult your Technical Serv-
ice.
