2012 SKODA YETI warning

CAUTION
■ Only use roof rack systems approved by ŠKODA.
■ If other roof rack systems are used or if the roof bars are not fitted correctly,
any resulting damage to the vehicle is not covered by the warranty. It is therefore
essential that the supplied fitting instructions for the roof rack system are ob-
served.
■ On vehicles with a panoramic sunroof, make sure that the tilted panorama roof
does not strike any items which are transported. ■ Ensure that the boot lid does not hit the roof load when opened. For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption. ÐRoof load
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 68.
The maximum permissible roof load (including roof rack system) of
100 kg and the
maximum permissible total weight of the vehicle should not be exceeded.
The full permissible roof load cannot be used if a roof rack system with a lower
load carrying capacity is used. In this case, the roof rack system must only be loa-
ded up to the maximum weight limit specified in the fitting instructions. ÐCup holder
