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 roof rail is the basis for a complete roof luggage rack system. Separate addi-
tional holders are required for safety reasons for transporting luggage, bikes, surf-
boards, skis and boats.
•
The basic version of the roof luggage rack system and further components are
obtainable as accessories from the specialist garages.
Caution
•
Ensure that the opened boot lid does not collide with the roof load.
•
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.
For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption.
Roof load
Distribute weight evenly over the roof luggage rack system. The maximum permissible
roof load (including roof rack system) of 75 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!
