WARNING
The incorrect use of a rear carrier system in-
stalled on the tow hook can cause accidents
and injury.
●
Make sure that the carrier system is suita-
ble for your vehicle.
●
Read and observe the installation instruc-
tions of the rear carrier system manufacturer.
●
Never attach a rear carrier system below
the ball head of the trailer hitch. The system
could slip due to the shape of the hitch.
Note
Before setting off, SEAT recommends remov-
ing, to the extent possible, all accessories
from the load attached to the carrier system.
Examples of these accessories are baskets
and panniers, child seats or batteries. This
improves the aerodynamics and centre of
gravity of the rear carrier system.
