The Roof Rack - Skoda Superb Owner's Manual

The roof rack

Description
Caution

Only use roof racks 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 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 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 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.
Note
If a roof rack has not been factory-fitted onto a vehicle, you can purchase on from
Škoda original accessories.
Attachment points
Perform the assembly and the disassembly according to the attached instructions.

Driving Tips
Note

If you have any questions, please contact a specialist garage.

The figure is not valid for an estate car.
Roof load
Distribute the weight evenly over the roof luggage rack system. The maximum
permissible roof load (including roof rack system) of 100 kg and the maximum
permissible total weight of the vehicle should not be exceeded.
You cannot make full use of the permissible roof load if you use a roof luggage rack
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.
WARNING

The items which you transport on the roof bar system must be reliably
attached - risk of accident!

You must on no account exceed the permissible roof load, the permissible
axle loads and the permissible gross weight of your vehicle - risk of accident!

Please note that the handling properties of your vehicle change when you
transport heavy or bulky items on the roof bar system as a result of the displace-
ment of the centre of gravity and the increased wind attack area - risk of acci-
dent! You must absolutely adapt your style of driving and the speed of the
vehicle to the specific circumstances.
