WARNING
The items which you transport on the roof bar system must be reliably at-
■
tached - risk of accident!
Always secure the load with appropriate and undamaged lashing straps or
■
tensioning straps.
Distribute the load evenly over the roof rack system.
■
The handling properties of your vehicle change when you transport heavy or
■
bulky items on the roof bar system as a result of the displacement of the cen-
tre of gravity and the increased wind attack area - risk of accident! The style
of driving and speed must therefore be adapted to the current circumstances.
Avoid abrupt and sudden driving/braking manoeuvres.
■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic
■
conditions.
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and gross permissible
■
weight of your vehicle must not be exceeded under any circumstances - risk
of accident!

Only use roof rack systems approved by ŠKODA.
■
If other roof rack systems are used or if the roof bars are not fitted correctly,
■
any resulting damage to the vehicle is not covered by the warranty. It is therefore
essential that the supplied fitting instructions for the roof rack system are ob-
served.
On models fitted with a power sliding/tilting roof or a panoramic sliding roof,
■
ensure that the opened sliding/tilting roof or the panoramic sliding roof does not
Ð
strike any items of luggage transported on the roof.
Ensure that the boot lid does not hit the roof load when opened.
■
The height of the vehicle changes after mounting a roof luggage rack system
■
and the load that is secured to it. Compare the vehicle height with available clear-
ances, such as underpasses and garage doors.
Always remove the roof luggage rack system before entering an automated car
■
wash.
Ensure the roof aerial is not impaired by the secured load.
