The roof rack*DescriptionPay 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 base carrier is the basis for a complete 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 ra ck system and further components are
obtainable as accessories from the authorised 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 car 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, which carries out the professional fitting.
