The roof luggage rack system
Description
Pay attention to the following points if you wish to transport luggage or 
other items on the roof of your vehicle:
•Your car has streamlined rain channels integrated into the roof. For 
this reason, it is not possible to use conventional roof racks. We therefore  recommend that you only use base roof bars from the Škoda Genuine 
Accessories.
•These base roof bars are the supporting elements for a complete roof 
bar system. Separate additional components are required for safety 
reasons for transporting luggage, bikes, surfboards, skis and boats. All 
these components you can obtain replacement fuses from a Škoda 
Service Partner.
Caution
•If you use other roof rack systems or if the roof bars are not properly 
fitted, then any damage which may result to your car is not covered by the 
warranty agreements. 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.
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.

Attachment points
Fitting
When fitting on the feet of the roof bars, ensure that they are positioned 
exactly between the arrow markings in the sealing strip on the roof 
⇒fig. 85 . The markings are visible only when the doors are open.
Roof load
Distribute weight evenly over the roof luggage rack system. The maximum 
permissible roof load (including roof rack system) of  100 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 trans-
ported 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!
•Please note that the handling properties 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.
