2020 Seat Ateca ECU

Transporting children safely
have fully developed muscle and bone struc-
t ur
es. This means that chil dr
en ar
e subject to
a greater risk of injury.
To reduce the risk of injuries, children must al-
ways use special child restraint systems
when travelling in the vehicle.
We recommend the use of child safety prod-
ucts from the SEAT Original Accessories Pro-
gramme, which includes systems for all ages
made by “Peke” (not for all countries) (see
www.seat.com).
These systems have been especially de-
signed and approved, complying with the
ECE-R44. regulation.
SEAT recommends securing the child seats
shown on the website as described below:

Transporting children safely
Fit a child seat with the ISOFIX / i-Size and Top Tether* system Fig. 28
Rear seat: ISOFIX/i-Size securing rings. Fig. 29
Rear seats: fitting a child seat with the
ISOFIX system. Child seats can be secured quickly, easily
and saf
ely on the r
ear side seats with the
“ISOFIX” and T op T
ether* syst
em.
Two “ISOFIX” retaining rings are fitted on each
rear side seat. In some vehicles, the rings are secured to the seat frame and, in others, they
are secured to the rear fl
oor. The “ISOFIX”
rings are located between the rear seat
backrest and the seat cushioning

Safety
Fig. 31
Back of the rear seats: Top Tether se-
curing rings. Child seats with the Top Tether system come
with a str
ap f
or securing the seat t o the v
ehi-
cl
e anchor point, located at the back of the
rear seat backrest and provide greater re-
straint.
The objective of this strap is to reduce for-
ward movements of the child seat in a crash,
to reduce the risk of injuries to the head from
hitting the inside of the vehicle. Using the Top Tether in rear-facing moun-
ted seats
Currently, there are v

ery few rear-facing child
safety seats that have Top Tether. Please
carefully read and follow the seat manufac-
turer instructions to learn the proper way to
install the Top Tether strap.

Do not leave anyone (especially children)
in the vehicle if it is lock ed fr

om the outside
and the “Safe” security system* is activa-
ted, as the doors and windows cannot then
be opened from the inside. Locked doors
could delay assistance in an emergency. Anti-theft alarm system*
Description The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to
br
eak int
o the v ehicl
e or st

eal it. The system
will initiate acoustic and optical warning sig-
nals when your vehicle is tried to be forced.
The anti-theft alarm is automatically turned
on when the vehicle is locked with the key.
The system is immediately activated and the
turn signal light located on the driver door will
flash along with the turn signals, indicating
that the alarm and the locking security sys-
tem (double lock) have been turned on.
If any of the doors or the bonnet are open,
they will not be included in the protection
zones of the vehicle when the alarm is con-
nected. If the door or the bonnet are subse- quently closed, they will be automatically in-
cluded in the protection areas of the vehicl

e
and the turn signals will flash accordingly
when the doors close.

Transport and practical equipment
Roof carrier* Intr oduction The vehicle roof has been designed to opti-
mise aerodynamics. For this reason, cr
oss
bars or conv
entional roof carrier systems
cannot be secured to the roof water drains.
As the roof water drains are integrated in the
roof to reduce air resistance, only SEAT-ap-
proved cross bars and roof carrier systems
can be used.
Cases in which cross bars and the roof
carrier system should be disassembled.

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
