Roof Rack System; Attachment Points; Roof Load - Skoda Superb Owner's Manual

WARNING
The transported items on the roof rack must be securely attached – 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.
■
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.
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 permissible total vehi-
■
cle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of accident!
CAUTION
Only use roof rack systems approved by ŠKODA AUTO a.s
■
When dealing with roof racks, the installation instructions supplied with the
■
roof luggage rack system must be observed.
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
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.
■
For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption.
