WARNING
During a sudden driving or braking ma-
noeuvre, or in the event of an accident, ob-
jects could be flung though the interior and
cause serious or fatal injuries.
Always secure objects, even when the
net partition is properly assembled.
There should be nobody behind the as-
sembled partition when the vehicle is mov-
ing.
WARNING
The rear seat backrests should only be lif-
ted again once the net partition has been
disassembled.
CAUTION
Incorrect handling of the net partition
could cause damage.
Do not "release" the net partition when
lowering it, as the net and other vehicle
Transport and practical equipment
parts could be damaged. Roll down the net
partition by hand.
Roof carrier
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.
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.
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.
For the sake of the environment
When cross bars and a roof carrier system
are installed, the increased air resistance
means that the vehicle uses more fuel.
