damaged when seats are folded down or
put back into position. Remove any objects
in the way before folding seats down or re-

Fastening rings

Fig. 145

In the luggage compartment: fasten-

There are fastening rings

›››

Fig. 145

on the

front and rear of the boot to secure loose ob-
jects and luggage with fastening belts and
cords.

On some models, the fastening rings are lo-
cated right at the back, in the area of the lock
carrier plate.

There are other fastening rings located to the
left and right hand side of the second row
footrests.

WARNING

If unsuitable or damaged belts or retaining
straps are used, they could break in the
event of braking or an accident. Objects
could then be launched across the passen-
ger compartment and cause serious or fa-
tal injuries.

●

Always use belts or straps that are suita-

ble and in good condition.

●

Tighten the belts and straps in a cross

layout over the load placed on the boot
floor and secure them to the fastening rings
safely.

●

Never exceed the maximum tensile load

of the fastening rings when securing ob-
jects.

●

Make sure that, particularly for flat ob-

jects, the upper edge of the load is higher
than the fastening rings.

●

Depending on the features, take into ac-

count the instruction panels on the boot on
how to place the load.

●

Never secure a child seat to the fastening

rings.

Note

●

The maximum tensile load that the fas-

tening rings can support is approx. 3.5 kN.

●

Belts, straps and securing systems for the

appropriate load can be obtained from
specialised dealerships. SEAT recom-
mends visiting a SEAT dealership for this.
