and the load secured on them. For this pur-

pose, check that your vehicle's height does

not surpass the headspace limit, for exam-

ple, for underpasses or for entering garage

doors.

As the roof water drains are integrated in the

roof to reduce air resistance, only SEAT-ap-

proved cross bars and roof carrier systems

can be used.

Cross bars, the roof carrier system and

the load secured on them should not inter-

●

Always secure the load properly using

Always secure the crossbars and the roof

When making long trips, check the threa-

If you are using cross bars and a roof carrier

with a lower weight rating, you will not be

able to carry the maximum authorised roof

listed in the fitting instructions.

WARNING

If the load is loose or not secured, it could

fall from the roof carrier system or cause

accidents and injuries.

Do not modify or repair the crossbars or

Always use belts or retaining straps that

WARNING

●

The use of electrical appliances with the

engine switched off will cause a battery

discharge.

The power socket works only when the igni-

tion is on. Improper use may cause serious

injury or even fire. Children should there-

fore not be left in the vehicle unattended if

the button is also left behind. Otherwise

there is a possibility that they may be in-

jured.

●

Should the connected appliance over-

heat, immediately switch it off and discon-

nect it from the socket.

There is an anomaly, e.g. dis-

connection due to a current

surge or overheating.

●

Before switching the ignition on or off, un-

plug the appliances from the USB ports to

protect them from any damage caused by

fluctuations in voltage.

Disconnection due to overheating

When the temperature 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.

CAUTION

Always use the correct type of plugs to

avoid damaging the sockets.

●

Some appliances may not work properly

when connected to the 230 volt sockets

due to a lack of power (watts).

CAUTION

●

230 volt power socket:

–

Do not leave devices or connectors

that are too heavy (e.g. a transformer)

hanging directly from the power sock-

et.

–

Do not connect neon lamps.

WARNING

–

Only connect devices to the socket if

the device and socket voltage match.

The electrical system is under high voltage!

–

The built-in overload disconnect func-

tion prevents any electrical devices

that require a high start-up current

●

Do not spill liquids onto the socket.

●

Do not plug adapters or extension cords

into the 230 volt power socket. Otherwise,
