Operation
SEAT 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 pro-
tection plates. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT dealership for this.
If a towing bracket is retrofitted, the distance
specifications should always be kept in
mind. The distance between the centre of the
spherical head and the road ››› Fig. 219

must never be less than that indicated. This
al
so ap
plies when the vehicle is fully loaded,
including the technically permissible maxi-
mum vertical load on the coupling device.

WARNING

ab

cle while driving. This could cause serious ac-
cidents and fatal injuries.
Note
Only use towing brackets that have been ap-
pro
ved by SEAT for the model in question.
