WARNING
People whose pain and temperature thresh-
old has been affected by some kind of medi-
cine, paraplegia or chronic illness (e.g. diabe-
tes) may sustain burns to the back, buttocks
and legs from using the seat heaters that
may lead to a long healing process or that
may never completely heal. Seek medical ad-
vice if you have doubts regarding your health.
● People with limited pain and temperature
thresholds must never use seat heating. WARNING
Inappropriate use of the seat functions can
cause severe injuries.
● Assume the proper sitting position before
your trip and remain in it throughout. This al-
so applies to the other occupants.
● Keep hands, fingers, feet and other limbs
away from the seat operating and adjustment
radius. CAUTION
● To avoid damaging the heating elements of
the seat heaters, please do not kneel on the
seat or apply sharp pressure to a single point
on the seat cushion or backrest.
● Liquids, sharp objects and insulating mate-
rials on the seat could damage the seat heat-
ing. ●
In the event of smells, switch off the seat
heating immediately and have the unit in-
spected by a specialised workshop. For the sake of the environment
The seat heating should remain on only when
needed. Otherwise, it is an unnecessary fuel
waste. Transport and practical
equipment
Transporting objects Introduction Always transport heavy loads in the luggage
compartment and place the seat backs in a
vertical position. Never overload the vehicle.
Both the carrying capacity as well as the dis-
tribution of the load in the vehicle affect driv-
ing behaviour and braking ability
››› .
WARNING
Unsecured or incorrectly secured objects can
cause serious injury in case of a sudden ma-
noeuvring or breaking or in case of an acci-
dent. This is especially true when objects are
struck by a detonating airbag and fired
through the vehicle interior. To reduce the
risks, please note the following:
● Secure all objects in the vehicle. Always
keep equipment and heavy objects in the lug-
gage compartment.
● Always secure objects with suitable rope or
slings so that they cannot enter the deploy-
ment areas around the frontal or side airbags
in case of sudden braking or an accident.
● Always ensure that objects inside the vehi-
cle cannot move into the deployment area of
the bags while driving. » 65Technical specifications

For the best handling when driving a loaded
vehicle, note the following:
● Secure all objects ››› page 66 .
● Ac
celerate gently and carefully.
● Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.
● Brake early.
● If necessary, read the instructions for driv-
ing with a roof carrier system ››› page 77. WARNING
A sliding load could considerably affect the
stability and safety of the vehicle resulting in
an accident with serious consequences. ●
Secure loads correctly so they do not move.
● When transporting heavy objects, use suit-
able ropes or straps.
● Lock the seat backs in vertical position. Practical equipment
Introduction Storage compartments must only be used to
store light or small objects.
WARNING
In the event of sudden braking movements or
turns, loose objects may be thrown around
the vehicle interior. This could cause serious
injuries to passengers and cause the driver to
lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not transport animals or place hard,
heavy or sharp objects inside the vehicle in:
open storage compartments, dash panel, rear
shelf, items of clothing or bags.
● While driving, always keep object compart-
ments closed. WARNING
Objects falling into the driver's footwell could
prevent use of the pedals. This could lead the
driver to lose control of the vehicle, increas-
ing the risk of a serious accident. ●
Make sure the pedals can be used at all
times, with no objects rolling underneath
them.
● The floor mat should always be secured to
the floor.
● Never place other mats or rugs on top of
the original mat supplied by the factory.
● Make sure that no objects can fall into the
driver's footwell while the vehicle is in mo-
tion. CAUTION
● Objects on the shelf could chafe against
the wires of the heating element in the heat-
ed rear window and cause damage.
● Do not keep temperature-sensitive objects,
food or medicines inside the vehicle. Heat
and cold could damage them or render them
useless.
● Light-transparent objects placed inside the
vehicle, such as lenses, magnifying glasses
or transparent suction caps on the windows,
may concentrate the sun's rays and cause
damage to the vehicle. Note
The ventilating slits between the heated rear
window and the rear shelf must not be cov-
ered so that used air can escape from the ve-
hicle. 67

WARNING
If unsuitable or damaged belts or retaining
straps are used, they may break in the event
of braking or an accident. Objects could then
be launched across the passenger compart-
ment and cause serious or fatal injuries.
● It is important to always use belts or retain-
ing straps that are suitable and in a good
condition.
● Belts and retaining straps should be se-
curely fastened to the fastening rings.
● Objects in the luggage compartment that
are unsecured could move suddenly and mod-
ify the handling of the vehicle.
● Small light objects should also be fixed in
place.
● The maximum tensile load of the fastening
ring for securing objects should never be ex-
ceeded.
● A child seat should never be secured with
the fastening rings. Note
● The maximum tensile load that the fasten-
ing rings can support is 3.5 kN.
● Belts and securing systems for the appro-
priate load can be obtained from specialised
dealerships. SEAT recommends visiting a
SEAT dealership for this. Retaining hooks
Fig. 73
In the luggage compartment: retain-
ing hooks There may be hooks in the upper left and
right part of the luggage compartment.
WARNING
Never use these hooks to secure objects. In
case of sudden braking or an accident, they
could rupture. CAUTION
The hooks can support a maximum of 2.5 kg
each. 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 water drains.
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.
When the roof carrier system should be
removed:
●
When they are not used.
● When the vehicle is being washed in a car
wash.
● When the vehicle height exceeds the maxi-
mum height, for example, in some garages. 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. » 77Technical specifications

Check attachments
After fitting the base supports and the roof
carrier system, always check the attachments
after a short trip and at regular intervals. WARNING
Exceeding the maximum authorised roof load
can result in accidents and/or vehicle dam-
age.
● Never surpass the maximum authorised
weight for the roof, the maximum authorised
weight on the axles and the total maximum
authorised weight of the vehicle.
● Never exceed the capacity of the roof carri-
er system even if this is less than the maxi-
mum authorised roof load. ●
Secure heavy items as far forward as possi-
ble and distribute the vehicle load uniformly. WARNING
Loose and incorrectly secured loads can fall
