WARNING
•
The belt locks and the belts must be in their original position after folding
back the seat cushions and the seat backrests - they must be ready to use.
•
The seat backrests must be securely interlocked in position so that no
objects in the luggage compartment can slide forwards if there is sudden
braking - risk of injury!
•
Pay attention that the rear seat backrest is correctly interlocked. It is only
then that the three-point seat belt for the middle seat can reliably fulfil its func-
tion.

First check for yourself that the cross road is inserted into the mounts
the front position!

The roof rack*

Description
Pay attention to the following points if you wish to transport luggage or other items
on the roof of your vehicle:
•
A special roof luggage rack system was developed for the vehicle, that is why
you should only use a roof luggage rack which has been released for use by Škoda
Auto.
•
The base carrier is the basis for a complete roof luggage rack system. Separate
in
C
additional holders are required for safety reasons for transporting luggage, bikes,
surfboards, skis and boats.
•
The basic version of the roof luggage rack system and further components are
obtainable as accessories from the authorised Škoda Service Partners.
Caution
•
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, ensure that the opened
sliding/tilting 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. One should
therefore take off the roof bar system after use.
Note

A roof rail is obtainable from a specialist garage if hasn't been fitted onto an estate
car at the works, which carries out the professional fitting.
