Driving
Technical requirements Vehicles that are factory-fitt
ed with a t owing
bracket meet all the technical and legal re-
quirements for driving with a trailer.
If the vehicle is retrofitted with a towing
bracket, only a bracket that is authorised for
the maximum authorised load of the trailer
that is to be towed may be fitted. The towing
bracket must be suitable for the vehicle and
the trailer and must be properly secured to
the vehicle

mends making the most of the maximum ver-

Note
SEAT recommends removing, as far as pos-
sible, all remo v
able parts of the bicycles
before setting off. These parts include, for
example, baskets and saddlebags, child
seats or batteries. This improves aerody-
namics and the centre of gravity of the rack
system. Retrofitting a towing bracket

r
etr
ofitt ed at a specialised w

. For ex-ample, it may very well be necessary to ad-
just the cooling system or mount thermal pro-
tection plat

es. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT dealership for this.
If a towing bracket is retrofitted, the distance
specifications should always be kept in mind.

Indications about the technical data
Weights Load on the roof
The maximum authorised roof load for your
v
ehicl
e is 75 kg.
Empty weight, total weight, axle loads
The empty weight of the vehicle with driver
(75 kg) was calculated according to the (EU)
1230/2012 standard. Optional equipment can
increase the empty weight, which means that
the possible useful load decreases propor-
tionally.
Trailer weight
The maximum permitted drawbar load on the
ball head of the towing device is 88 kg. WARNING
The values indicated for the maximum per-
mitted weights must not be ex ceeded.
