Roof rack system


Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
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.
■
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 traf-
■
fic conditions.
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.
■
The fitting instructions supplied with the roof luggage rack system must be
■
observed when handling roof racks.
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.
Note
If the vehicle is not factory-equipped with a roof rack, it can be purchased from
the ŠKODA Original Accessories.
Roof load

Read and observe and
The maximum permissible roof load (including roof rack system) of 75 kg and
77
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.
