Towing bracket device*
If the system detects that the trailer is sway-
in g, it
intervenes automatically with the driv-
er steering recommendation to reduce the
swaying of the trailer.
Requirements for the stabilisation of the
towing vehicle and trailer
● The vehicle is factory-equipped with a tow-
ing br
acket or has been retro-fitted with a
compatible towing bracket.
● The ESC and ASR are active. The control
lamp
 or  is not lit up on the instrument
panel.
● The trailer is electrically connected to the
to
wing vehicle through the trailer power
socket.
● The vehicle is travelling at over 60 km/h
(appr
ox. 37 mph).
● The maximum vertical load technically per-
mis
sible is being utilised on the coupling de-
vice.
● The trailer has a rigid draw bar.
● If the trailer has brakes, it must be equip-
ped with a mec
hanical overrun brake. WARNING
The enhanced security provided by the elec-
tric s

tability control of the towing vehicle and
trailer should not lead you to take any risks
that could compromise your safety. ●
Ad apt

your speed and driving style at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions.
● Accelerate with caution when the road is
slip
pery.
● When adjusting any settings, stop acceler-
ating. WARNING
The electric stability control for the towing
v ehic

le and trailer may not correctly detect all
driving conditions.
● When the ESC is switched off, the stabilisa-
tion of the t
owing vehicle and trailer is also
switched off.
● The stability system does not always detect
light and u
nstable trailers, so it may not sta-
bilise these correctly.
● When driving on slippery surfaces with
poor grip, the tr
ailer can even interfere with
the stability system.
● Trailers with a high centre of gravity can tip
even w
ithout having previously swayed.
● If a trailer is not attached, but the trailer
pow
er socket is connected (e.g. installation
of a bicycle rack with lights), repeated auto-
matic braking may occur in extreme driving
conditions. Retrofitting a towing bracket

Operation
SEAT recommends that towing brackets be
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 pro-
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
spherical head and the road ››› Fig. 219 D must never be less than that indicated. This
al
so ap

plies when the vehicle is fully loaded,
including the technically permissible maxi-
mum vertical load on the coupling device.

If the cables are improperly or incorrectly
c onnect

the entire vehicle electronic system, as well
as to accidents and serious injuries.
● Never connect the trailer's electric system

ectrical connections of the tail lights A

u
se s

uitable connectors to connect the trail-
er.
● The towing bracket should be retrofitted
only
at a specialised workshop. WARNING
If the towing bracket is badly fitted or unsuit-
ab l

e, the trailer may separate from the vehi-
cle while driving. This could cause serious ac-
cidents and fatal injuries. Note
Only use towing brackets that have been ap-
pr o

ved by SEAT for the model in question.264

Care and maintenance
Automatic car washes
B ef
ore going through a car wash, be sure to
take the usual precautions such as closing
the windows and roof. If the vehicle has spe-
cial accessories such as spoilers or a roof
rack or two-way radio aerial, etc., it is advisa-
ble to consult the car wash tunnel operator.
It is best to use a car wash without revolving
bristles if possible.
Washing the vehicle with a high pressure
cleaner
When washing the vehicle with a high-pres-
sure cleaner, always follow the operating in-
structions for the equipment. This applies
particularly to the operating pressure and the
spraying distance. Do not hold the nozzle too
close to soft materials such as rubber hoses
or seals. The same applies to the parking aid
sensors*, which are located in the rear bump-
er.
Do not use a nozzle that sprays the water out
in a direct stream or one that has a rotating
jet for forcing off dirt.
Washing the car by hand
When washing the car by hand, use plenty of
water to soften the dirt first, and rinse off as
well as possible.
Then clean the vehicle with a soft sponge,
glove or brush using only slight pressure.
You should start on the roof and work down. Special car
soap should only be used for very
persistent dirt.
Rinse the sponge or glove thoroughly and of-
ten.
Wheels, sills and similar should be cleaned
last. Use a second sponge for this. WARNING
● The v

ehicle should only be washed with the
ignition switched off. Failure to follow this in-
struction could result in an accident.
● Do not clean the underside of chassis, the
ins
ide of wheel arches or wheel trims without
protecting your hands and arms. You may cut
yourself on sharp-edged metal parts. Other-
wise, there is a risk of sustaining cuts.
● When washing the car during the winter
sea
son: water and ice in the brake system
can reduce braking effectiveness: risk of acci-
dent! CAUTION
● Do not w

ash the vehicle in direct sunlight –
otherwise the paint can be damaged.
● Do not use sponges, abrasive household
spon
ges or similar to clean insect remains.
This could damage the surface.
● Clean off stubborn dirt (insects, etc.) from
the hea
dlights at regular intervals, for in-
stance when filling the fuel tank. The head-
lights should only be washed with water, do not wipe them with a dry cloth or sponge. It
i
s

best to use soapy water.
● Never wash tyres with a jet that sprays the
wat
er out in a direct stream. This could dam-
age the tyres even if the spray is kept at a
distance and only used for a very short time.
● Before washing the vehicle in an automatic
car w
ash, please make sure to retract the ex-
terior mirrors to prevent them from being
damaged. Electrically retractable exterior
mirrors must not be folded in or out by hand,
always use the electrical power control. CAUTION
● Bef

ore washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, please proceed as follows to lock
the wiper arms so that they are not moved to-
wards the top of the windscreen:
–the bonnet must be closed.
– switch the ignition on and off.
– press the windscreen wiper lever forward
briefly (windscreen washer function).
This will lock the wiper arms. For the sake of the environment
The car should only be washed in special
w a

sh bays. These areas are prepared to pre-
vent oily water from getting into the public
drains. In some places, washing vehicles out-
side the areas intended for this purpose is
prohibited. 267

The minimum amount to be poured in (as-
suming the tank is empty) is indicated on the
AdBlue ®
sticker located on the floor of the

The AdBlue ®
tank should never be empty.
When the distance to empty drops below
2400 km, a warning to refill the AdBlue ®
tank
will appear on the dash panel display

When the tyres are inflated at different pres-

ac
c

ident.
● If the warning lamp  lights
up, stop im-
mediately and check the tyres.
● If the tyres are inflated at different pres-
sur
es or if a tyre pressure is too low, this will
increase tyre wear, negatively affecting vehi-
cle stability and increasing braking distan-
ces.
● If tyres are inflated at different pressures or
a tyr
e pressure is too low, a tyre may be dam-
aged and burst resulting in a loss of control
of the vehicle.
● The driver is responsible for ensuring that
al

l of the vehicle tyres are correctly inflated
to the right pressure. The recommended tyre
pressure is indicated on the label
››› page 303.
● The tyre monitoring system can only oper-
ate c
orrectly if all of the tyres are inflated to
the correct pressure when cold.
● Driving with tyres at the wrong pressure
can d
amage them and result in an accident.
Ensure that the tyre pressures of all the tyres
correspond to the vehicle load.
● Before starting a journey, always inflate
tyr
es to the correct pressure.
● Tyres with insufficient pressure are subjec-
ted t
o more flexing. Due to this, the tyre
could become excessively hot, causing tread
separation and also tyre blow-out.
● With an overloaded vehicle at high speed,
the tyr
es can overheat and burst resulting in
a loss of vehicle control. ●
Ty

re pressures which are too high or too
low reduce the useful life of the tyre, affect-
ing vehicle performance.
● If a tyre has not been punctured and it does
not h
ave to be changed immediately, drive to
the nearest specialised workshop at a moder-
ate speed and have the tyre checked and in-
flated to the correct pressure. WARNING

With the wheels under very heavy loads, the
tyre pressure must be increased to the total
recommended tyre pressure before the cali-
