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.•
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.
