The vehicle roof has been designed to opti-
mise aerodynamics. For this reason, cross
bars or conventional roof carrier systems
cannot be secured to the roof water drains.
WARNING
●
Check that the net is secure.
During a sudden driving or braking ma-
noeuvre, or in the event of an accident, ob-
jects could be flung though the interior and
cause serious or fatal injuries.
Pulling out and securing the net partition
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.
