Roof carrier*
Introduction
WARNING
● The load on the roof carrier must be properly secured. Risk of acci-
dent!
● Always secure the load using retaining straps in good condition.
● Distribute the load evenly.
● When transporting heavy or large objects on the roof, any change in
the normal vehicle behaviour due to a change in the centre of gravity or
an increased wind resistance must be taken into account. Risk of acci-
dent! For this reason, a suitable speed and driving style must be used.
● Avoid sudden manoeuvres and braking.
● Adjust your driving style to suit visibility, the weather and road and
traffic conditions.
● Never exceed the allowed axle loads or allowed maximum weight.
Risk of accident!
CAUTION
● Only use SEAT-authorised roof carriers.
● Where roof carriers from other systems are used or where they are not
fitted properly, any damage caused to the vehicle will not be covered by the
warranty. Therefore, carefully follow the Instruction Manual for installation
of the roof carrier.
● On vehicles fitted with a sliding sunroof, make sure it does not hit the
load on the roof when opened
● Remember that the rear lid must not hit the roof load.
● The total height of the vehicle increases according to the roof load. Com-
pare the height of the vehicle with the heights of bridges or, for example,
the size of the garage door. ●
Do not forget to remove the roof carrier before entering an automatic
carwash.
● Take into account that the load must not damage the aerial located on
the roof.
For the sake of the environment
The increased air resistance means that the vehicle uses more fuel. 
