ar

tments in the driver and passenger
doors. WARNING
Improper use of the drink holders can cause
injury .
● Do not

place containers with hot drinks in a
drink hol
der. During sudden braking or driv-
ing manoeuvres, the hot drink could be spil-
led and lead to scalding. ●
Ens ur

e that no bottles or other object are
dropped in the driver footwell, as they could
get under the pedals and obstruct their work-
ing.
● Never place heavy containers, food or other
heavy o
bjects in the drink holder. In the
event of an accident, these heavy objects
could be “thrown around” the vehicle interior
and cause serious injuries. WARNING
Closed bottles inside the vehicle could ex-
p lode or c r

ack due to the heat or the cold.
● Never leave a closed bottle in the vehicle if
the inside t
emperature is too high or too low. CAUTION
Do not leave open drinks containers in the
drink ho l

ders when the vehicle is in motion.

ces connected to the power socket can only
be used when the engine is running.
To prevent voltage variations from causing
damage, switch off the electrical device con-
nected to the 12 Volt power socket before switching the ignition on or off and before
star

ting the engine. WARNING
Improper use of the socket or electrical devi-
ce s

could lead to a fire and cause serious in-
juries.

Transport and practical equipment
CAUTION
At very high or very low temperatures the
smar tphone might
not operate properly, or
the actual device could get damaged.
● Take your smart phone with you when you
get out
of the vehicle to protect it from very
high or very low temperatures, and from in-
tense solar radiation. CAUTION
Humidity can damage the electrical contacts
for the sm ar

tphone on the instrument panel.

Intr oduction Always transport heavy loads in the luggage
c
omp
ar

tment 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 have ef- fects on the driving behaviour and braking
ability

››› .
WARNING
When the vehicle is not in use or being
wat c

hed, always lock the doors and the rear
lid to reduce the risk of serious injury or
death.
● Do not leave children unwatched, especial-
ly when the boot i
s open. Children could
climb into the luggage compartment, close
the rear lid from inside and be unable to es-
cape themselves. This could lead to serious
injury or death.
● Never allow children to play in or around
the vehic
le.
● Never transport people in the luggage com-
partment
. WARNING
Unsecured or incorrectly secured objects can
cau se seriou

s 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
plac
e equipment and heavy objects in the
boot.
● Always secure objects to the fastening
rings
with suitable rope or straps to prevent
them from being thrown around the interior and moving to the airbag deployment area in
the event
of

sudden movements or accidents.
● While driving, always keep object compart-
ments c
losed.
● Do not place hard, heavy or sharp objects
inside the
vehicle interior, in open storage
compartments, the rear shelf or on the dash
panel.
● Remove hard, heavy and sharp objects from
clothes
and pockets inside the vehicle and
store securely. WARNING
The transport of heavy object changes vehi-
cl e h

andling and increases braking distance.
Heavy loads that have not been stored or se-
cured correctly could cause loss of control
and result in serious injury.
● Vehicle handling changes when transport-
ing heavy
objects due to a change in the cen-
tre of gravity.
● Distribute the load as uniformly and as low
down on the v
ehicle as possible.
● Store heavy objects in the luggage com-
partment
as far from the rear axle as possi-
ble. CAUTION
Hard objects on the rear shelf could chafe
again s

t the wires of the heating element in
the heated rear window and cause damage. » 123

y be fastening rings to secure the
luggage.
In order to use the fastening rings, they must
be lifted beforehand. WARNING
If unsuitable or damaged belts or retaining
str ap

s 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 str
aps 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 un
secured could move suddenly and mod-
ify the handling of the vehicle.
● Small light objects should also be fixed in
plac
e.
● A child seat should never be secured with
the fas
tening rings. Note
● The max imum t

ensile load that the fasten-
ing rings can support is 3.5 kN.

Retaining hooks Fig. 140
In the luggage compartment: retain-
in g hook
s There may be hooks in the upper left and
right
p
ar
t of the luggage compartment. WARNING
Never use these hooks to secure objects. In
ca se of

sudden braking or an accident, they
could rupture. CAUTION
The hooks can support a maximum of 2.5 kg
eac h. Roof carrier
Intr oduction The vehicle roof has been designed to opti-
mise aer
ody

namics. 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 re-
moved:
● When they are not used.
● When the vehicle is being washed in a car
wa sh.
● When the

vehicle height exceeds the maxi-
mum height, for ex
ample, in some garages. WARNING
The risk of an accident is increased by trans-
portin g he

avy 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 undam
aged attachment rope or straps.
● Large, heavy, wide and flat loads negatively
affect the
vehicle aerodynamics, centre of
gravity and handling. ●
Av oid bru

sque manoeuvres and sudden
braking.
● Adjust your speed and driving style to visi-
bility
, road, traffic and weather conditions. CAUTION
● Alw a

ys remove the roof carrier system from
the roof before entering a car wash.
● The height of your vehicle is changed by
the inst
allation 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.
● The roof antenna and the range of the rear
lid should not
be affected by the roof carrier
system or the load being transported.
● Take extra care not to let the hatch strike
the roof lo
ad when opening. For the sake of the environment
The vehicle uses more fuel when the roof car-
rier sys t

em is fitted. 127
