Double-sided floor covering


Read and observe and
You can fit a double-sided floor covering in the luggage compartment.
One side of the double-sided floor covering is made of fabric, the other side is
washable (easy to maintain).
The washable side is used to transport wet or dirty items.
Note
For easier turning of the covering, use the loop attached.

Class N1 vehicles


Read and observe and
In class N1 vehicles that are not fitted with a protective grille, a lashing set that
complies with the EN 12195 standard (1-4) must be used for fastening the load.
Proper functioning of the electrical installation is essential for safe vehicle op-
eration. It is important to ensure that the electrical installation is not damaged
during the adjustment process or when the storage area is being loaded and
unloaded.

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, handling of the car may change as a result of the dis-
placement 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.
■
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total ve-
■
hicle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstance – risk of acci-
dent!
CAUTION
Only roof racks from the ŠKODA Original Accessories range should be used.
■
When dealing with roof rack systems, the installation instructions supplied
■
with the roof luggage rack system must be observed.
On models fitted with a power sliding/tilting roof, ensure that the extended
■
sliding/tilting roof does not hit 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
clearances, 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.
