Roof Carrier; Fitting The Net Partition - Seat Ateca 2020 Owner's Manual

The purpose of the net partition is to prevent
the items in the boot from moving into the
cabin, e.g. in the event of sudden braking.

Fitting the net partition

The partition net can be fitted behind the rear
seat or, depending on the features, behind
the front seats with the second row of seats
lowered.

. Make sure to move
Introduction
The vehicle roof has been designed to opti-
mise aerodynamics. For this reason, cross
bars or conventional roof carrier systems
cannot be secured to the roof water drains.
›››
Fig. 138 and
B
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.
When they are not used.
●
When the vehicle is washed in a car wash.
●
When the vehicle height exceeds the maxi-
●
mum height, for example, in some garages.
Operation
WARNING
Always secure the load properly using
●
belts or retaining straps that are suitable
and in a good condition.
Bulky, heavy, long or flat loads have a
●
negative effect on aerodynamics, the cen-
tre of gravity and driving performance.
Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.
●
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
●
times to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.
CAUTION
Remove the cross bars and the roof carri-
●
er system before entering a car wash.
Vehicle height is increased by the instal-
●
lation of cross bars or a roof carrier system
and the load secured on them. For this pur-
pose, check that your vehicle's height does
not surpass the headspace limit, for exam-
ple, for underpasses or for entering garage
doors.
Cross bars, the roof carrier system and
●
the load secured on them should not inter-
fere with the roof aerial or hamper the path
of the panoramic sun roof and the rear lid.
On opening the rear lid make sure that it
●
does not knock into the roof load.
