Driving
Towing bracket device
Trailer mode
Introduction
Take into account country-specific regula-
tions about driving with a trailer and the use
of a towing bracket.
The vehicle has been developed primarily for
carrying people, although it can also be used
to tow a trailer if fitted with the correspond-
ing technical equipment. This additional load
has an effect on the useful life, fuel con-
sumption and vehicle performance and in
some cases can reduce the service intervals.
Driving with a trailer requires more force
from the vehicle, and thus more concentra-
tion from the driver.
In winter, winter tyres should be fitted on
both the vehicle and the trailer.
Maximum vertical load technically permit-
ted on the coupling device
The maximum vertical load technically per-
mitted from the trailer draw bar on the tow-
ing bracket's tow ball is 80 kg.
Vehicles with the Start-Stop system
If the vehicle has a factory-fitted towing
bracket or one that is retrofitted by CUPRA,
the Start-Stop system operates as normal.
No special characteristics need to be taken
into account.
If the system does not recognise the trailer
or the trailer bracket has not been retrofitted
by CUPRA, the Start-Stop system must be
disconnected by pressing the corresponding
button in the lower part of the centre con-
sole before driving with the trailer, and it
should remain off for the rest of the jour-
ney .
Vehicles with driving profile selection
If you are going to be towing a trailer, the use
of the Eco driving profile is not recommen-
ded. You are advised to select another of the
available driving profiles before beginning to
drive with a trailer.
Trailer weight/drawbar load
Never exceed the authorised trailer weight. If
you do not load the trailer up to the maxi-
mum permitted trailer weight, you can then
climb correspondingly steeper slopes.
The maximum trailer weights listed are only
applicable for altitudes up to 1000 m above
sea level. Since higher altitude decreases en-
gine performance and the ability to climb
slopes, the tow load decreases proportional-
ly. The weight of the vehicle and trailer com-
bination must be reduced by 10% for every
1000 m of altitude. When possible, operate
the trailer with the maximum authorised
drawbar load on the ball joint of the towing
bracket, but do not exceed the specified
limit.
WARNING
Never use the trailer to transport people,
since it would put their life in danger and is
also prohibited.
WARNING
Undue use of the towing bracket may cause
injury and accidents.
Only use the towing bracket if it is in a
perfect state of repair and is properly se-
cured.
Never modify or repair the towing bracket
in any way.
In order to reduce the danger of injury in
the event of rear-end collisions and to
avoid injury to pedestrians and cyclists
when parking the vehicle, cover or remove
the tow hook when you are not using a trail-
er.
Never fit a towing bracket “with weight
distribution” or “load compensation”. The
vehicle has not been designed for this type
of towing bracket. The towing bracket
could fail and the trailer could be released
from the vehicle.
