Roof rack system

General information
WARNING
● The items which you transport on the roof bar system must be reliably at-
tached - risk of accident!
● Always secure the luggage with appropriate undamaged lashing straps or
tensioning straps.
● Distribute the goods evenly over the roof luggage 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
centre of gravity and the increased wind attack area - risk of accident! You
must adapt your style of driving and the speed of the vehicle to the specific
circumstances.
● Avoid abrupt and sudden driving/braking manoeuvres.
● Adjust your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions.
CAUTION
● Only use roof rack systems approved by ŠKODA.
● 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
agreements. It is therefore essential to pay attention to the fitting instructions
supplied with the roof luggage rack system.
● On vehicles with a panoramic sliding roof, make sure that the tilted panoramic
sliding roof not strike any items which are transported.
● Ensure that the opened boot lid does not collide with the roof load when
opened.
Using the system Safety
● The height of the vehicle changes after mounting a roof rack system and the
goods secured to it. Compare the vehicle height with available clearance, e.g. of
underpasses and garage doors.
● Always remove the roof rack system before entering an automated car wash.
● Make sure the roof aerial is not impaired by the secured goods.

The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption.
