●

During sudden manoeuvres or accidents,

loose objects can be thrown forward, injuring

vehicle occupants or even third parties. This

increased risk of injury will be further in-

creased if a loose object is struck by an inflat-

ing airbag. If this happens, objects may

shoot outward like a missile. Risk of fatal in-

jury.

Fig. 117 Position heavy items as far forward

as possible.

All luggage and other loose objects must be

safely secured in the luggage compartment.

Unsecured objects which shift back and forth

could affect safety or driving characteristics

of the vehicle by shifting the centre of gravity.

●

Always keep all objects in the luggage com-

partment and use appropriate grips to secure

them, particularly in the case of heavy ob-

jects.

–

Distribute the load evenly in the luggage

compartment.

●

Never exceed the allowed axle weights or

allowed maximum weight. If said weights are

exceeded, the driving characteristics of the

vehicle may change, leading to accidents, in-

juries and damage to the vehicle.

Place heavy objects as far forward as possi-

ble in the luggage compartment

“object” strikes an occupant as it flies

through the interior of the vehicle. This in-

creased risk of injury will be further increased

if a loose object is struck by an inflating air-

bag.

Fastening rings*

●

Never leave your vehicle unattended, espe-

cially when the rear lid is open. Children

could climb into the luggage compartment,

closing the door behind them; they will be

trapped and run the risk of death.

●

Never allow children to play in or around

the vehicle. Close and lock all the doors and

rear lid when you leave the vehicle. Before

you lock the vehicle, make sure that there are

no adults or children in the vehicle.

WARNING

●

If pieces of baggage or other objects are se-

cured to the fastening rings with inappropri-

ate or damaged retaining cords, injuries

could result in the event of braking manoeu-

vres or accidents.

●

Please observe the notes on the ››› page 29.

CAUTION

●

Never secure a child seat on the fastening

rings.

Example: An object weighing 4.5 kg is lying

unsecured in the vehicle. During a frontal col-

lision at a speed of 50 km/h (31 mph), this

object generates a force corresponding to 20

times its weight. That means that the effec-

being especially careful to position front and

rear luggage compartment cover bars on the

special housings in the longitudinal bars.

You must also respect their position accord-

ing to the direction of travel indicated in the

assembly manual. Not following these in-

structions may damage the bodywork.

ed and it may be bent or damaged.

●

If the luggage compartment is overloaded,

remove the tray.

●

The load in the storage compartment

should not exceed 3 kg.

●

Pay special attention to the tightening tor-

que of the attachment bolts and check them

following a short journey. If necessary, re-

tighten the bolts and check them at regular

intervals.

Note

●

Ensure that, when placing items of clothing

on the luggage compartment cover, rear visi-

bility is not reduced.

●

Distribute the load evenly. A maximum load

of 40 kg is permitted for each roof rack sys-

tem support bar, the load must be distrib-

uted evenly along the entire length. However,

the maximum load permitted for the entire

roof (including the support system) of 75 kg

must not be exceeded nor the total weight

recommended for the entire vehicle. See the

“Technical Data” section.

special fixtures must be used to safely trans-

port luggage, bicycles, skis, surf boards or

boats on the roof. Suitable accessories can

be acquired at SEAT dealerships.
