Flashing red
light: There is an anomaly, e.g. dis-
connection due t
o a curr
ent
surge or overheating. Disconnection due to overheating
When the t
emper

ature exceeds a certain val-
ue, the 230 volt socket inverter is automati-
cally disconnected. The disconnection pre-
vents overheating when the power consump-
tion of the connected devices is excessive or
the ambient temperature is very high. The
230-volt power supply can be used once
again after a cooling time. First unplug the
connector of the connected device and then
plug it back in again. This prevents the elec-
trical device from being switched on again if
this is not wanted. WARNING
The electrical system is under high voltage!

Driving
Technical requirements Vehicles that are f
act ory-mounted with a
towing device meet all the technical and le-
gal requirements for driving with a trailer
››› page 313.
If the vehicle is retrofitted with a towing
bracket, only a bracket that is authorised for
the maximum authorised load of the trailer
that is to be towed may be fitted. The towing
bracket must be suitable for the vehicle and
the trailer and must be properly secured to
the vehicle's chassis. Only use a towing
bracket that has been authorised by SEAT for
this vehicle. Always check and take into ac-
count the towing bracket manufacturer's in-
structions.
Towing bracket fitted on the bumper
Never fit a towing bracket to the bumper or to
the area where the bumper is mounted. The
towing bracket should not impair the bum-
per's function. Do not make modifications or
repairs to the exhaust system or the brake
system. Make regular checks to ensure that
the towing bracket is secure.
Engine cooling system
Driving with a trailer increases the load on the
engine and cooling system. The cooling sys-
tem should have sufficient coolant and be
prepared for the additional effort involved in
driving with a trailer. Trailer brakes
If the tr
ail

er has its own brake system, please
take the relevant legal requirements into ac-
count. Never connect the trailer's brake sys-
tem to the vehicle's brake system.
Tow cable
Always use a cable between the vehicle and
the trailer ››› page 309
.
Trailer tail lights
The trailer's rear lights should comply with
the statutory safety regulations ››› page 309
.
Never connect the trailer's rear lights directly
to the vehicle's electric system. If you are not
sure that the trailer's electrical connection is
correct, have it checked by a specialised
workshop. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT
dealership for this.
Exterior mirrors
If you cannot see the area behind the trailer
with the exterior mirrors of the towing vehicle,
additional mirrors will have to be installed in
accordance with the regulations of the coun-
try in question. The exterior mirrors should be
adjusted before you start driving and must
provide a sufficient field of vision at the rear.
Trailer maximum electricity consumption
Never exceed the values indicated! Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and Central
America Brake lights (total)

If the towing bracket is wrongly fitted or is
not the right one , the tr

ailer could become
detached from the vehicle and cause seri-
ous injury. CAUTION

Limits and attachment points for ret-

r
etr

ofitted at a specialised workshop. For ex- ample, it may very well be necessary to ad-
just the cooling system or mount thermal pr

o-
tection plates. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT dealership for this.
If a towing bracket is retrofitted, the distance
specifications should always be kept in mind.
The distance between the centre of the ball
head and the road ››› Fig. 221

ed. This also applies when
the vehicle is fully loaded, including the tech-
nically permissible maximum vertical load on
