Towing bracket device

tightened using a torque wrench, and a pow-
er socket must be connected to the vehicle
electrical system. This requires specialised
knowledge and tools.

●

Figures in the illustration show the eleva-

tion value and the attachment points which
must be considered if you are retrofitting a
towing bracket.

WARNING

The towing brackets should be fitted at a spe-
cialised workshop.

●

If the towing bracket is incorrectly instal-

led, there is a serious danger of accident.

●

For your own safety, please observe the tow

bracket manufacturer's instructions.

CAUTION

●

If the power socket is incorrectly installed,

this could cause damage to the vehicle elec-
trical system.

Note

●

SEAT recommends that the towing hooks

be fitted at a specialised workshop. Consult
your SEAT dealer in case additional modifica-
tions to your vehicle are necessary.

●

Due to the specific design of the exhaust,

the fitting of a conventional towing hook is
not recommended for some sportier versions.
Please consult your Technical Service.
