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.
