The roof rack*DescriptionPay attention to the following points if yo u 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 a.s.
•
The base carrier is the basis for a comple te roof luggage rack system. Separate
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 specialist garages.Caution
•
If you use other roof rack sy stems or if the roof bars are not properly fitted, then
any damage which may result to your ca r 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.

– The plastic caps ⇒fig. 85 can be removed by inserting a thin screw-
driver into the recess of the caps and carefully lever out the caps to
avoid paint damage.
– The feet are inserted into the openings of the roof bars.
Note•
Pay attention to the information regarding assembly and disassembly in the
attached instructions.
•
If you have any questions, plea se contact a specialist garage.
•
The figure is not valid for an estate car.
Roof loadDistribute weight evenly over the roof luggage rack system. The maximum permis-
sible roof load (including roof rack system) of 75 kg and the maximum permissible
total weight of the vehicl e 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 permis-
sible axle loads and the permissible gros s weight of your vehicle - risk of
accident!
•
Please note that the handling prop erties of your vehicle change when
you transport heavy or bulky items on the roof bar system as a result of the
displacement of the centre of gravity and the increased wind attack area -
risk of accident! You must absolutely adapt your style of driving and the
speed of the vehicle to the specific circumstances.
