The roof rack*

Description
Pay attention to the following points if you wish to transport luggage or other items
on the roof of your vehicle:
•
A special roof luggage rack system was developed for the vehicle, that is why
you should only use a roof luggage rack which has been released for use by Škoda
Auto.
•
The base carrier is the basis for a complete roof luggage rack system. Separate
additional holders are required for safety reasons for transporting luggage, bikes,
surfboards, skis and boats.
•
The basic version of the roof luggage rack system and further components are
obtainable as accessories from the authorised Škoda Service Partners.
Caution
•
If you use other roof rack systems or if the roof bars are not properly fitted, then
any damage which may result to your car is not covered by the warranty agree-
ments. It is therefore essential to pay attention to the fitting instructions supplied
with the roof luggage rack system.
•
On models fitted with a power sliding/tilting roof, ensure that the opened
sliding/tilting roof does not strike any items of luggage transported on the roof.
•
Ensure that the opened boot lid does not collide with the roof load.
For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption. One should
therefore take off the roof bar system after use.

Distribute weight evenly over the roof luggage rack system. The maximum permis-

system with a lower load carrying capacity. The load transported on the roof
luggage rack system must not exceed the weight limit which is stated in the fitting
instructions.

The items which you transport on the roof bar system must be reliably
