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.
■
Transporting heavy or large objects on the roof rack alters the handling
■
properties of the vehicle due to the displacement of the centre of gravity or
the increased wind exposure area – risk of accident! The style of driving and
speed must therefore be adapted to the current circumstances.
Avoid abrupt and sudden driving/braking manoeuvres.
■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic
■
conditions.
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total vehi-
■
cle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of accident!
CAUTION
Only use roof rack systems approved by ŠKODA AUTO a.s.
■
If other roof rack systems are used or if the roof bars are not fitted correctly,
■
any resulting damage to the vehicle is not covered by the warranty. It is therefore
essential that the supplied fitting instructions for the roof rack system are ob-
served.
On vehicles with a panoramic sunroof, make sure that the tilted panorama roof

■
does not strike any items which are transported.
Ensure that the boot lid does not hit the roof load when opened.
■
For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption.
