WARNING
•
When transporting passengers and objects, which require the seats to be
folded forwards, ensure the safety of the passengers being transported on
the rear seats ⇒page 130, “Correct seated position for the occupants on the
rear seats”.
•
Place the bicycles in the bicycle carrier in such a position that no collision
between the steering arm and the rear window can occur.
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.
•
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 the specialist garages.Caution
•
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.

NoteIf a roof rail is not fitted onto a vehicle at the works, it is obtainable from a specialist
garage which carries out the professional fitting.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 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 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 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.
Front cup holderYou can place two cups or beverage cans into the recesses ⇒fig. 96.
WARNING
•
Do not place any hot beverages into the cup holder. If the vehicle moves,
the hot beverages may spill - risk of scalding!
•
Do not use any cups or beakers which are made of brittle material (e.g.
glass, porcelain). You might be injured by them in the event of an accident.Caution
Do not open the beverages in the cup holder while driving. There is a risk of spilling
e.g. when braking and therefore the electrical components or the seat upholstery
can be damaged.
