WARNING
For road safety when transporting cargo on the roof rack, observe the fol-
lowing instructions.
Always distribute the load on the roof rack evenly and secure properly us-
■
ing suitable lashing straps or tensioning straps.
When transporting heavy objects or objects which take up a large area on
■
the roof rack system, the handling of the car may change as a result of the
displacement of the centre of gravity. The style of driving and speed must
therefore be adapted to the current circumstances.
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total ve-
■
hicle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of acci-
dent!
CAUTION
Before stowing the roof rack, the key must be removed from the carrier -
■
otherwise there is a risk of key corruption.
If you want to stow the roof rack and the roll-up luggage compartment cov-
■
er at the same time, then it is necessary that the rear part of the roll-up lug-
gage compartment is covering the rear roof rack.
CAUTION
Make sure that the sliding / tilting roof or the boot lid does not collide with
■
the roof load when opened.
Ensure the roof aerial is not impaired by the load being transported.

Note
We recommend that you use a roof rack from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
