objects in the luggage compartment can slide forward if there is sudden  
braking - risk of injury!

Pay attention that the rear seat backrest is correctly interlocked. It is only  
then that the three-point seat belt for the middle seat can reliably fulfil its

Description  
Pay attention to the following points if you wish to transport luggage or other items  
on the roof of your vehicle:  
Removing and installing net partition housing  
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 rack system and further components are  
obtainable as accessories from the authorised Škoda Service Partners.

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 agree-  
ments. It is therefore essential to pay attention to the fitting instructions supplied  
with the roof luggage rack system.  
Removing  
Fold the rear seats forwards page 81  
Open the right rear door.  
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 does not collide with the roof load.

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.  
Distribute weight evenly over the roof luggage rack system. The maximum permis-  
sible roof load (including roof rack system) of 75 kg and the maximum permissible  
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 fitting  
instructions.  
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.

WARNING  
The items which you transport on the roof bar system must be reliably  
attached - risk of accident!  
You must on no account exceed the permissible roof load, the permis-  
sible 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  
displacement 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.
