● Carefully unhook the baggage net hooks
from the fastening rings
WARNING
The elastic baggage net stretches when it is
secured to the luggage compartment fasten-
ing rings. The secured baggage net is taut.
The hooks on the net can cause injury if the
net is incorrectly hooked or unhooked.
Always ensure that the hooks do not sud-
●
denly release from the fastening rings when
hooking or un-hooking.
● Always keep your face and eyes protected
at a safe distance to avoid injury should a
hook slip while hooking or unhooking.
● Always engage the hooks in the order giv-
en. If a baggage net hook springs back this
can cause injury.
Roof carrier system*
Introduction
The vehicle roof has been designed to opti-
mise aerodynamics. For this reason, conven-
tional roof carrier systems cannot be secured
to the roof water drain channel.
Given that the water drains have been incor-
porated into the roof for aerodynamic rea-
sons, only the SEAT approved basic supports
and roof carrier systems can be used.

wash.
When the vehicle height exceeds the maxi-
●
mum height (e.g. in a garage).
WARNING
The risk of an accident is increased by trans-
porting heavy or bulky loads on the roof,
which affects the car's handling by shifting
the centre of gravity and increasing suscepti-
bility to cross winds.
● Always secure loads correctly with suitable
and undamaged attachment rope or straps.
● Large, heavy, wide and flat loads negatively
affect the vehicle aerodynamics, centre of
gravity and handling.
● Avoid brusque manoeuvres and sudden
braking.
Adjust your speed and driving style to visi-
●
bility, road, traffic and weather conditions.
CAUTION
● Always remove the roof carrier system from
the roof before entering a car wash.
The height of your vehicle is changed by
●
the installation of the roof carrier and the
load secured on it. Compare the vehicle
height with the passage height, for example
in underground car parks or for garage doors.
Operation
The roof antenna, the range of the panor-
●
amic sliding sunroof and the boot hatch
should not be affected by the roof carrier sys-
tem and the load being transported.
Take extra care not to let the hatch strike
●
the roof load when opening.
For the sake of the environment
The vehicle uses more fuel when the roof car-
rier system is fitted.
