Roof rack*

Introduction
WARNING
The load on the roof carrier must be
●
properly secured. Risk of accident!
Always secure the load using retaining
●
straps that are in good condition.
Distribute the load evenly.
●
When transporting heavy or large ob-
●
jects on the roof, any change in normal ve-
hicle behaviour due to a change in the cen-
tre of gravity or increased wind resistance
must be taken into account. Risk of acci-
dent! For this reason, speed and driving
style must be adjusted for the situation.
Avoid sudden manoeuvres and braking.
●
Adjust your driving style to suit visibility,
●
the weather and road and traffic condi-
tions.
Never exceed the allowed axle loads or
●
allowed maximum weight. Risk of accident!
CAUTION
Only use SEAT-authorised roof carriers.
●
Where roof carriers from other systems
●
are used or where they are not fitted prop-
erly, any damage caused to the vehicle will
not be covered by the warranty. Therefore,
Transport and practical equipment
carefully follow the Instruction Manual for
installation of the roof carrier.
Remember that the rear lid must not hit
●
the roof load.
The total height of the vehicle increases
●
according to the roof load. Compare the
height of the vehicle with the heights of
bridges or other underpasses, for example,
the height of the garage door.
Do not forget to remove the roof carrier
●
before entering an automatic carwash.
Take into account that the load must not
●
damage the aerial located on the roof.
For the sake of the environment
If aerodynamic resistance increases, fuel
consumption will also increase.
