of at least 25 cm from the steering wheel or dash panel. Failure to respect

the minimum distance means that the airbag will not protect you. Risk of

fatal injury. The distance between the driver and the steering wheel or

between the front passenger and the dash panel should always be as great

as possible.

Luggage compartment

Caution

Hard objects on the shelf could chafe against the wires of the heating

element in the rear window and cause damage.

Stowing luggage

All luggage must be securely stowed.

Note

Please observe the following points to ensure the vehicle handles

well at all times:

The ventilation slots in front of the rear side windows must not be covered as

this would prevent stale air being extracted from the vehicle.

–

Distribute the load as evenly as possible.

Place heavy objects as far forward in the luggage compartment

as possible.

Fastening rings*

–

Secure luggage in the luggage compartment with suitable straps

on the fastening rings.

WARNING

•

Loose luggage and other loose items in the vehicle can cause serious

injuries.

Loose objects in the luggage compartment can suddenly move and

change the way the vehicle handles.

During sudden manoeuvres or accidents, loose objects in the

passenger compartment can be flung forward, injuring vehicle occupants.

Always store objects in the luggage compartment and secure with suit-

able straps. This is especially important for heavy objects.

When you transport heavy objects, always keep in mind that a change

in the centre of gravity can also cause changes in vehicle handling.

•

Fig. 83 Fastening rings

•

Four rings are fitted in the boot ⇒ fig. 83 (see arrows) for securing objects.

Two of the rings are located on the right and left, respectively, of the rear

section of the boot. The other two are next to the loading edge of the boot.

Please observe information on safe driving ⇒ page 7, “Safe driving”.

The fastening rings are in accordance with standard DIN 75410

Please observe the following points if you intend to carry loads on the roof:

•

For safety reasons, only luggage racks and accessories supplied by offi-

cial SEAT Service should be used.

•

It is imperative to precisely follow the fitting instructions included for the

rack, taking special care when fitting the front bar in the allotments designed

for this and the rear bar between the marks on the upper part of the rear door

frame while respecting the correct direction of travel indicated in the installa-

tion manual. Not following these instructions may lead to paintwork damage

or marks on the bodywork.

•

Pay special attention to the tightening torque of the attachment bolts and

check them following a short journey. If necessary, retighten the bolts and

check them at regular intervals.

Distribute the load evenly. A maximum load of 40 kg only is permitted for

each roof carrier system support bar, the load must be distributed evenly over
