105Transporting and practical equipment

When transporting cargo the following the instructions must be adhered to
▶ When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to
the shift in centre-of-gravity. The speed and style of driving must be adjus-
ted accordingly.
▶ The cargo is stowed in the luggage compartment. To prevent this from mov-
ing it should be secured with suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes or
secured with fixing nets.
▶ Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
▶ Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
▶ The transported items must be stowed in such a way that no objects are able
to slip forward on sudden driving or braking manoeuvres – risk of injury!
▶ Tyre pressure is to match the load.
▶ When transporting loads in the luggage compartment that has been en-
larged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure the safety of the passengers
transported on the other rear seats .
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic energy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an object
with a weight of 4.5 kg produces an energy, which corresponds to 20 times its
own weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg “ ”.
Luggage compartment light
The warning light turns on when tailgate is opened.
The warning light turns off when the tailgate is closed.
If the boot lid is open and the ignition switched off, the light will extinguish
automatically after around 10 minutes.
The luggage compartment illumination using the removable lamp » page 114.WARNING■
Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc. Heavy objects were not secured sufficiently – risk of injury!■
If the cargo is tied down with unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, inju-
ries can occur in the event of braking manoeuvres or accidents.
■
Loose cargo can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in case
of an accident and can injure the occupants or other road users.
■
Loose cargo could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of
death!
CAUTION■ Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc. - these could be damaged.■
Make sure that transported objects with sharp edges do not damage the
threads of the following devices. ■Rear window heater.
■ Rear window with an integrated antenna.
■ Integrated antenna in the rear side windows.

Class N1 vehicles
Read and observe
and on page 106 first.
In class N1 vehicles that are not fitted with a protective grille, a lashing set that
complies with the EN 12195 standard (1-4) must be used for fastening the load.
Proper functioning of the electrical installation is essential for safe vehicle op-
eration. It is important to ensure that the electrical installation is not damaged
during the adjustment process or when the storage area is being loaded and
unloaded.

Roof rack
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
fixing points for base support
118
Roof load
118WARNINGWhen transporting cargo the following the instructions must be adhered
to.■
The transported items on the roof rack must always be securely attached
– risk of accident!
■
Always secure the load with appropriate and undamaged lashing straps
or tensioning straps.
■
Distribute the load evenly over the roof rack system.
■
When transporting heavy objects or objects which take up a large area on
the roof rack system, the handling of the car may change as a result of the
displacement of the centre of gravity. The style of driving and speed must
therefore be adapted to the current circumstances.
■
Avoid abrupt and sudden driving/braking manoeuvres.
■
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total ve-
hicle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of acci-
dent!
CAUTION
■ On models fitted with a sliding/tilting roof, ensure that the sliding/tilting roof
does not strike any items of luggage transported on the roof when tilting.■
Ensure that the boot lid does not hit the roof load when opened.
■
The height of the vehicle changes after mounting a roof luggage rack system
including the load that is being transported. Compare the vehicle height with
available clearances, such as underpasses and garage doors.
■
Ensure the roof aerial is not impaired by the load being transported.
Note
We recommend that you use a roof rack from ŠKODA Original Accessories.117Transporting and practical equipment

WARNING■For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the win-
dows are free of ice, snow and misting. The blower should always be on to
prevent the windows from misting up.■
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow
out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
CAUTION
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. ice, snow or
leaves to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.■
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air
conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a
leak!
■
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to
ensure that the engine cools down.
