Roof rack


Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
fixing points for base support
Roof load
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.
■
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total ve-
■
hicle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of acci-
dent!
CAUTION
Only roof racks from the ŠKODA Original Accessories range should be used.
■
When dealing with roof racks, the installation instructions supplied with the
■
roof luggage rack system must be observed.
On vehicles with a panoramic sunroof, make sure that the tilted panorama
■
roof does not strike any items which are transported.
Ensure that the luggage compartment 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.

Read and observe and
The maximum permissible roof load (including roof rack system) of 50 kg and
the maximum permissible total weight of the vehicle should not be exceeded.
The full permissible roof load cannot be used if a roof rack system with a lower
load carrying capacity is used. In this case, the roof rack system must only be
loaded up to the maximum weight limit specified in the fitting instructions.
