Verification of correct placement Fig. 199
Correct placement of the ball-head-
ed b ar
. Before using the ball-headed bar, ensure it is
c
orr
ectly
fitted.
Ensure that:
● The ball-headed bar does not come out of
the clampin
g bush in a “jerky” manner.
● The red mark A

on the manual
regulator signals toward the white mark on
the ball-headed bar.
● The manual regulator is adjusted to the
ball-he
aded bar, leaving no space between
them.
● The regulator is locked and the key has
been remov
ed.
● Cover B has been placed over the manual
r e gu

lator lock. WARNING
Only use the towing bracket device when the
ba l

l-headed bar is properly fitted! Disassembly of the ball-headed bar

Towing bracket device
The ball-headed bar should be placed in the
ser v
ic
e position so that it is ready to be inser-
ted into the clamping bush ››› .
– Place the cover over the clamping bush 4›››
Fig. 194. WARNING
● Never leave the ball-headed bar unsecured
in the boot. It c

ould be damaged in the event
of sudden braking, putting the safety of pas-
sengers at risk!
● Never disassemble the ball-headed bar
with the trai
ler still hitched. CAUTION
● If y

ou do not turn the manual regulator
fully, it will return to its original position
when the ball-headed bar is removed. The
manual regulator will be stuck to the ball-
headed bar and you will not be able to put it
in the service position. Therefore, before you
assemble it again, you must place the ball-
headed bar in this position.
● After disassembly, place the cap on the
clampin
g bush’s orifice. This way you will
prevent dirt from entering the clamping bush. Note
● Bef or

e disassembling the ball-headed bar,
we recommend placing the cover on the ball
head. ●
Cle

an the ball-headed bar thoroughly be-
fore returning it to the on-board toolbox. Use and maintenance
Cover the clamping bush with the cap to pre-
vent
dir

t from entering.
Before hooking on the trailer, check the ball
head and, if necessary, lubricate it with ade-
quate lubricant.
Place the protective cover over the ball head
when storing the bar. This way, you will avoid
getting the boot dirty.
If it gets dirty, clean and dry the clamping
bush thoroughly with an appropriate prod-
uct. CAUTION
The top part of the clamping bush opening is
lubricat ed. B

e careful not to remove this lu-
brication. 193

Partial description of the vehicle
Diameter of authorised tyre in inches 1)
Type plate
The model plate is located at the bottom of
the B pillar, between the front and rear doors,
on the right-hand side.
The type plate indicates the following
weights:
● Total permitted weight of the vehicle when
loaded
● M

aximum authorised weight of the vehicle
with a trai
ler, when the vehicle operates as a
tractor
● Maximum permitted load of the front axle
● Maximum permitted load of the rear axle
Weight in ru
nning order
The weight in running order only has one ap-
proximate value. This value corresponds to
the minimum operative weight of the vehicle
without additional equipment that increases 2 3
4
5 its weight, i.e. air conditioning, spare wheel,
t
o
w

ing bracket.
The running order weight also includes 75 kg
of the weight of the driver and service fluids,
in addition to a fuel tank at 90% capacity.
From the difference between the total permit-
ted weight in running order the approximate
carrying capacity can be calculated ››› .
The c arr
y

ing capacity must include:
● occupants,
● all pieces of equipment and other weights,
● roof loads including the roof rack,
● equipment that is not included in the run-
ning order w
eight,
● when using the towing bracket, the draw-
bar loa

Calculating fuel consumption and CO 2 emis-
sions according to the ECE regulations and
the EU specifications
Calculation of fuel consumption for urban
driving begins when cold-starting the engine.
Then, normal city driving is simulated.
In calculating extra-urban driving fuel con-
sumption, braking and acceleration is done
in all gears, as in daily use of the vehicle.
Driving speed varies within a range of 0 and
120 km/h (75 mph). The consumption value in combined driving
is c

omposed of 37% of the value of urban
driving and 63% of the value of extra-urban
driving. WARNING
The maximum permitted weight values must
not be e x

ceeded – Risk of an accident and
damage to the vehicle! Note
● If y

ou wish to calculate the exact weight of
your vehicle please contact a SEAT dealer.
● Depending on the volume of equipment,
driving s
tyle, road conditions, weather condi-
tions and the condition of the vehicle, con-
sumption values can differ from the theoreti-
cal values stated here. Information on fuel consump-
tion

and apply to the specified vehicle character-
istics.
The values relating to fuel consumption and
CO 2 emissions can be found in the documen-
tation provided to the purchaser of the vehi-
cle at the time of purchase.
Fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions depend
on the equipment/features of each individual
vehicle, as well as on the driving style, road
conditions, traffic conditions, environmental
conditions, load or number of passengers. Note
In practice, and considering all the factors
mentioned here, c on

sumption values can dif-
fer from those calculated in the current Euro-
pean regulations. Weights
Kerb weight refers to the basic model with a
f
uel
t

ank filled to 90% capacity and without
optional extras. The figure quoted includes
75 kg to allow for the weight of the driver.
Special versions, optional equipment fittings
or retro-fitting accessories will increase the
weight of the vehicle ››› . WARNING
● Ple a

se note that the centre of gravity may
shift when transporting heavy objects; this
may affect vehicle handling and lead to an ac-
cident. Always adjust your speed and driving
style to suit road conditions and require-
ments.
● Never exceed the gross axle weight rating
or the gros
s vehicle weight rating. If the per-
missible axle load or the permissible total
weight is exceeded, the driving characteris-
tics of the vehicle may change, which could
lead to accidents, injuries and damage to the
vehicle. Driving with a trailer
Tr

ler weights Trailer weight
The tr
ai
l

er weights and drawbar loads ap-
proved are selected in intensive trials accord-
ing to precisely defined criteria. The ap-
proved trailer weights are valid for vehicles in
the EU for maximum speeds of 80 km/h (50
mph) (in certain circumstances up to 100
km/h (62 mph)). The figures may be different
in other countries. All data in the official vehi-
cle documentation takes precedence over
these data at all times ››› .Drawbar loads
The maximum permitt
ed dr
a

wbar load on the
ball joint of the towing bracket must not ex-
ceed 50 kg.
In the interest of road safety, we recommend
that you always tow approaching the maxi-
mum drawbar load. The response of the trail-
er on the road will be poor, if the drawbar
load is too small.
If the maximum permissible drawbar load
cannot be met (e.g. with small, empty and
light-weight single axle trailers or tandem
axle trailers with a wheelbase of less than 1
metre), a minimum of 4% of the actual trailer
weight is legally required for the drawbar
load. WARNING
● For s af

ety reasons, you should not drive at
speeds above 80 km/h (50 mph) when towing
a trailer. This also applies in countries where
higher speeds are permitted.
● Never exceed the maximum trailer weights
or the drawb
ar load. If the permissible axle
load or the permissible total weight is excee-
ded, the driving characteristics of the vehicle
may change, leading to accidents, injuries
and damage to the vehicle. 225
