Operation
●
Cross bars, the roof carrier system and
the load secured on them should not inter-
fere with the roof aerial or hamper the path
of the panoramic sun roof and the rear lid.
●
On opening the rear lid make sure that it
does not knock into the roof load.
For the sake of the environment
When cross bars and a roof carrier system
are installed, the increased air resistance
means that the vehicle uses more fuel.
Securing the crossbars and the
roof carrier system
Fig. 138
Attachment points for the roof railings
for the roof carrier system.
The crossbars are the basis of a series of
special roof carrier systems. For safety rea-
sons, special fixtures must be used to safely
transport luggage, bicycles, skis, surf boards
or boats on the roof. Suitable accessories
can be acquired at SEAT dealerships.
Always secure the crossbars and the roof
carrier system properly. Always take the as-
sembly instructions that come with the cross-
bars and the roof carrier system in question
into account.
The crossbars are assembled on the roof rail-
ings. The distance between crossbars
should be between 75 and 90
cm and the distance between the crossbars
and the brackets of the roof railings
be 15 cm.
WARNING
Incorrect attachment and use of the cross-
bars and the roof carrier system may cause
the whole system to detach from the roof
and cause an accident and injuries.
●
Always take the manufacturer assembly
instructions into account.
●
Check threaded joints and attachments
travelling and if necessary tighten them af-
ter you have travelled a short distance.
When making long trips, check the threa-
ded joints whenever you stop for a rest.
●
Do not modify or repair the crossbars or
roof carrier system.
Note
Always read the assembly instructions that
come with the crossbars and the roof carri-
er system carefully and keep them in the
vehicle.
Loading the roof carrier system
The load can only be secured if the crossbars
and the roof carrier system are properly in-
stalled
Maximum authorised cargo on the roof
The maximum authorised cargo permitted to
be transport on the roof is
75 kg
. This figure
comes from the combined weight of the roof
carrier, the cross bars and the load itself on
the roof
Always check the weight of the roof carrier
system, the cross bars and the weight of the
load to be transported and weigh them if
necessary. Never exceed the maximum au-
thorised roof load.
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
load. In this case, do not exceed the maxi-
mum weight limit for the roof carrier which is
listed in the fitting instructions.
