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 additional holders are required for safety reasons for trans-
porting luggage, bikes, surfboards, skis and boats.
•The basic version of the roof luggage rack system and further compo-
nents are obtainable as accessories from Škoda Service Partners.
Caution
•Ensure that the opened tailgate does 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
permissible 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 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.
