Roof rack
General information
CAUTION
● Only use roof racks approved by ŠKODA.
● If you use other roof rack systems or if the roof bars are not properly fitted,
then any damage which may result to your car is not covered by the warranty
agreements. It is therefore essential to pay attention to the fitting instructions
supplied with the roof luggage rack system.
● 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. Note
If a vehicle is not factory-equipped with a roof rack, it can be purchased from the
ŠKODA Original Accessories
Roof load Distribute the weight evenly over the roof luggage rack system. The maximum
permissible roof load (including roof rack system) of
75 kg and the maximum per-
missible 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 fit-
ting instructions. WARNING
● The items which you transport on the roof bar system must be reliably at-
tached - 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 dis-
placement 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 holder Fig. 57 Front centre console: Cup holder
You can place two cups or beverage cans into the recesses ⇒
fig. 57. WARNING
● Do not place any hot beverages into the cup holder. If the vehicle moves,
they may spill - risk of scalding!
● Do not use any cups or beakers which are made of brittle material (e.g.
glass, porcelain). This could lead to injuries in the event of an accident. CAUTION
Do not open the beverages in the cup holder while driving. There is a risk of spill-
ing e.g. when braking and therefore the electrical components or the seat uphols-
tery can be damaged. 62

Weight Fig. 167 Type plate
The indicated unloaded weight is for orientation purposes only. It is for the basic
equipment variant of the vehicle not including special features or accessories.
The kerb weight contains a fuel tank topped up to 90 % and a driver weight of
75 kg.
It is possible to calculate the approximate loading capacity from the difference be-
tween the permissible total weight and the unloaded weight.
You need to include the following into the loading capacity:
● passengers,
● all items of luggage and other loads,
● roof loads incl. the roof rack,
● when using a trailer hitch, the corresponding trailer nose weight (max. 50 kg). £ 191
