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 one of the 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 trans-
porting luggage, bikes, surfboards, skis and boats.
The basic version of the roof luggage rack system and further compo-
nents are obtainable as accessories from Škoda dealers.
Caution
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.
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 tailgate does 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 the roof rack into the mounts of

the holes of the body.

Pay attention to the information regarding assembly and disassembly
in the attached instructions.
If you have any questions, please contact a specialist garage.
