The Roof Rack - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

Folding
– Pull the cross rod back slightly, first on the one side then on the other side and
take the cross rod out of the mounts
– Hold the cross rod in such a way that the luggage net partition can roll up slowly
and without damage into the housing
– Fold the rear seats back into its original position.
WARNING
•
The belt locks and the belts must be in their original position after folding
back the seat cushions and the seat backrests - they must be ready to use.
•
The seat backrests must be securely interlocked in position so that no
objects in the luggage compartment can slide forwards 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 func-
tion.
•
First check for yourself that the cross road is inserted into the mounts
the front position!

The roof rack

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 agree-
ments. 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 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 roof rack has not been factory-fitted onto a vehicle, you can purchase on from
Škoda original accessories.
