The roof luggage rack system*
Roof rail*
Pay attention to the following points if you 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 roof rail is the basis for a complete roof luggage rack system. Separate addi- tional holders are required for safety reasons for transporting luggage, bikes, surf-boards, skis and boats.
•The basic version of the roof luggage rack system and further components are obtainable as accessories from Škoda Service Partners.
Caution
•Ensure that the opened boot lid do es not collide with the roof load.
For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption.
Note
A roof rail is obtainable from a Skoda Service Partner if hasn't been fitted onto a vehicle at the works.
Roof load
Distribute 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 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 capa city. The load transported on the roof luggage rack system must not exceed the weight limit which is stated in the fitting instructions.
