The roof rack*
Description
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 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 Škoda Service Partners.
Caution
•If you use other roof rack systems or if th e 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 atte ntion 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 do es 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.
Lashing points (Octavia)
Fitting
– Insert the attachment points of th e roof rack into the mounts of the
body so that the pins of the attachment points grasp into the holes of
the body.
Note
•Pay attention to the information regarding assembly and disassembly in the
attached instructions.
•If you have any questions, plea se contact a specialist garage.
•The figure is not valid for an estate car.
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 vehicl e should not be exceeded.
You cannot make full use of th e 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.
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.
