Liability for defects and ŠKODA warranty for new cars
Materials defect liability
Your ŠKODA Partner, as a vendor, is liable to you for material damage to your
new ŠKODA car, ŠKODA Genuine Parts or ŠKODA Genuine Accessories in accordance with statutory regulations and the purchase agreement.
ŠKODA warranty for new cars
As well as the materials defect liability, ŠKODA AUTO grants you the ŠKODA
warranty for new cars (hereinafter referred to as “ŠKODA warranty),” according to the conditions described below.
As part of the ŠKODA warranty, ŠKODA AUTO will provide the following services.
▶
Free repair of faulty components or vehicle defects that occur within two
years from the start of the ŠKODA warranty.
▶
Free repair of paintwork defects on your vehicle that occur within three
years from the start of the ŠKODA warranty.
▶
Free repair of corrosion caused by rust on the bodywork of your vehicle that
occurs within twelve years from the start of the warranty. Only corrosion of
body panels from the inside to the outside is included in the definition of corrosion caused by rust on the bodywork and covered by the ŠKODA warranty.
The start of warranty is the date on which the new car is handed over to the
initial purchaser by the ŠKODA Partner1). This date must be noted down by the
ŠKODA Partner in the Owner's Manual for your vehicle » in the section on the
documentation of the vehicle handover.
Vehicle repairs may be carried out either by replacing the faulty part or by repairing it. Replaced parts become the property of the ŠKODA Service Partner.
There shall be no further claims arising from the ŠKODA warranty. In particular, there shall be no claims for replacement, cancellation, provision of a courtesy vehicle for the duration of repairs or compensation for damages.
The ŠKODA warranty is valid at any ŠKODA service partner.
A prerequisite for carrying out work under the ŠKODA warranty is that all
service work has been carried out in a timely and technically correct manner
and in accordance with the ŠKODA AUTO's provisions. It must be proven that
service work has been carried out properly and in accordance with the ŠKODA
AUTO's provisions when making a claim on the ŠKODA warranty. In the event
of a missed service or failure to carry out a service according to the ŠKODA
AUTO's provisions, you may still be entitled to warranty claims as long as you
can prove that the missed service or the failure to carry out a service according to the ŠKODA AUTO's provisions was not the cause of the defect.
Natural wear and tear to your vehicle is not covered by the ŠKODA warranty.
The ŠKODA warranty also does not cover faults to bodywork, installations or
conversions provided by third parties, or vehicle faults caused as a result. The
same applies to accessories that were not installed and/or delivered ex-factory.
In addition, this warranty does not apply if the defect was caused by one of the
following:
▶
Unauthorised use, improper handling (e.g. use in racing competitions or overloading), improper care and maintenance or unauthorised modifications to
your vehicle.
▶
Non-compliance with instructions in the Owner's Manual or other factorysupplied instructions.
▶
External causes or influences (e.g. accidents, hail, flooding etc.).
▶
Parts fitted or connected on or in the vehicle whose use has not been approved by ŠKODA AUTO, or modification of the vehicle in a manner not approved by ŠKODA AUTO (e.g. tuning).
▶
Damage caused by you that was not immediately seen to by a specialist garage or was not rectified properly.
It is the customer's responsibility to prove that s/he is not the cause of the
damage.
This ŠKODA warranty does not affect the purchaser's statutory rights from
materials defect liability from the vehicle vendor and other potential claims
from product liability laws.
1)
Due to the requirements of the generally binding country-specific regulations, the date of first registration can be given instead of the date of the vehicle handover.
Liability for defects and ŠKODA warranty for new cars
5
Mobility warranty
The mobility warranty provides a sense of security when travelling in your vehicle.
If your vehicle should break down during a journey due to an unexpected defect, you can claim services to ensure your continued mobility under the terms
of the mobility warranty, including the following services: Breakdown assistance at the site of the breakdown and towing to a ŠKODA Service Partner,
technical assistance on the phone or on-site commissioning.
If your vehicle is not repaired on the same day, the ŠKODA Service Partner
may provide further services as required, such as replacement transportation
(bus, train etc.) or a courtesy vehicle etc.
More information regarding terms and conditions for the provision of a mobility warranty for your vehicle can be obtained from your ŠKODA Partner. They
will also provide you with detailed terms and conditions for the mobility warranty with respect to your vehicle. In the event that there is no mobility warranty coverage in place for your vehicle, you should check with any ŠKODA
Service Partner about the possibility of a supplementary agreement.
Optional ŠKODA extended warranty
If you opted for a ŠKODA extended warranty when purchasing your new car,
the two-year ŠKODA warranty with regards to all free warranty repairs is extended by the period you chose or until the chosen mileage limit has been
reached, whichever occurs first.
The paint warranty and the warranty against corrosion described above are
unaffected by the ŠKODA extended warranty.
The ŠKODA extended warranty does not apply to external and internal foils.
The information on the detailed conditions of the ŠKODA extended warranty
is provided by your ŠKODA partner.
Note
The ŠKODA extended warranty is only available in some countries.

Seat belts
Using seat belts
Introduction
Seat belts that are fastened correctly offer good protection in the event of an
accident. They reduce the risk of an injury and increase the chance of survival
in the event of a major accident.
The seat belts reduce the kinetic energy (energy of motion) to a considerable
extent. They also prevent uncontrolled movements which, in turn, may well result in severe injuries.
When transporting a child the following instructions must be observed
» page 31, Transporting children safely.
WARNING
■
Fasten seat belts before every ride! This also applies to other passengers -
there is a danger of injury!
■
Maximum seat belt protection is only achieved if you are correctly seated
» page 21, Correct and safe seated position.
■
The seat backrests of the front seats must not be tilted too far to the rear
otherwise the seatbelts can lose their effectiveness.
WARNING
Information on dealing with the safety belts
■
The belt webbing must not be jammed in-between at any point or twis-
ted, or chafe against any sharp edges.
■
Make sure you do not catch the seat belt in the door when closing it.
WARNING
Information on the proper use of the safety belts
■
Adjust the height of the belt in such a way that the shoulder part of the
belt is roughly positioned across the middle of your shoulder – on no account across your neck.
■
No two persons (also not children) should ever use a single seat belt together.
WARNING (Continued)
■
The lock tongue should only be inserted into the lock which is the correct
one for your seat. Wrong use of the safety belt will reduce its capacity to
protect and the risk of injury increases.
■
Many layers of clothing and loose clothing (e. g. a winter coat over a jacket) do not allow you to be correctly seated and impairs proper operation of
the seat belts.
■
Do not use clamps or other objects to adjust seat belts (e.g. for shortening the belts for smaller persons).
■
The seat belts for the rear seats can only fulfil their function reliably when
the seat backrests are correctly locked into position » page 72.
WARNING
Information on the care and maintenance of the safety belts
■
The belt webbing must always be kept clean. Soiled belt webbing may impair proper operation of the inertia reel » page 201.
■
The seat belts must not be removed or changed in any way. Do not attempt to repair the seat belts yourself.
■
Check the condition of all the seat belts on a regular basis. If damage to
the parts of the seat belt system (e.g. the strap, the belt connectors, the retractor, the lock or similar) are detected, the seat belt in question must be
replaced immediately by a specialist.
■
Seat belts which have been subjected to stress in an accident should be
replaced by a specialist garage. The anchorage points for the belts should
also be checked.

Safety
Correct routing of seat belt
Fig. 20 Routing of belt webbing over the shoulders and the lap
belt/Routing of belt webbing for an expectant mother
Seat belt height adjusters for front seats
Fig. 21
Read and observe on page 24 first.
It is important that the belt is properly routed to ensure seat belts offer the
maximum protection.
The shoulder belt should be positioned approximately over the middle of your
shoulder (on no account across your neck) and lie flush to the chest » Fig. 20 .
The lower part of the belt should run across the pelvis (it should not lie on top
of the stomach) and must always fit snugly » Fig. 20 - .
For pregnant women, the lower part of the belt must be positioned as low
down as possible across the pelvis, to avoid exerting any pressure on the lower
abdomen » Fig. 20 - .
Seat belt height adjusters for front seats
Push the seat belt guide loop upwards in the direction of arrow» Fig. 21 - .
›
Or: push together the mechanism in the direction of arrows 1 and push the
›
return pulley downwards in the direction of arrow 2 » Fig. 21 - .
Then pull firmly on the belt to ensure that the seat belt height adjuster has
›
correctly locked in place.
WARNING
■
Always ensure that the webbing of the seat belts is properly routed. Seat
belts which are not correctly adjusted can themselves cause injuries even in
minor accidents.
■
A seat belt which is hanging too loose can result in injuries as your body is
moved forward by the kinetic energy produced in an accident and is then
suddenly held firm by the belt.
■
The belt webbing must not run across solid or fragile objects (e.g. pencils,
spectacles, pens, keys etc.). Such objects can cause injury.
Fastening and unfastening seat belts

Insert the lock tongue into the belt buckle » Fig. 22 – that is part of the
›
seat until it clicks into place.
Pull on the belt to check that it has engaged correctly in the lock.
›
Release
Grip the lock tongue and press the red button in the buckle » Fig. 22 - , the
›
lock tongue pops out.
Guide the belt back by hand so that the seat belt does not twist and the
›
webbing rolls up fully.
WARNING
The reel opening for the lock tongue must not be blocked otherwise the
lock tongue will not lock into place properly.
Inertia reels and belt tensioners
Inertia reels
Each seat belt is equipped with an inertia reel.
When pulling slowly on the seat belt, the belt can move freely. When pulling
sharply on the seat belt, the movement is locked by the inertia reel. The belts
also lock when full braking, when the car accelerates, when driving downhill
and when cornering.
WARNING
If the seat belt does not lock when pulling sharply on it, have it inspected
immediately by a specialist garage.
Belt tensioners
Safety for the driver and front passenger wearing their seat belts is enhanced
by the belt tensioners fitted to the inertia reels of the front three-point seat
belts.
If there is a collision of a certain severity, the seat belts are tightened by the
belt tensioner so that unwanted body motion is prevented.
Belt tensioners are not activated in the event of minor collisions, in the case of
a roll-over and also not in accidents in which no major forces are produced.
WARNING
■
Any work on the belt tensioner system, including the removal and installation of system components because of other repair work, must only be carried out by a specialist garage.
■
If the belt tensioners have been deployed, it is then necessary to replace
the entire system.
Note
■
The belt tensioners can also be deployed if the seat belts are not fastened.
■
Smoke is generated when the belt tensioners are deployed. This is not an in-
dication of a fire in the vehicle.

Airbag system
Description of the airbag system
Introduction
The airbag system provides, as a supplement to the seat belts, additional occupant protection during severe frontal and side-on collisions.
The airbag will only provide optimum protection in conjunction with wearing the seat belt - the airbag is not a substitute for the seat belts.
The functional status of the airbag system is indicated by the indicator light
in the instrument cluster » page 43.
System description
Fig. 23 Airbag installation points
Airbag installation points » Fig. 23
A
Front airbags
B
Side airbags
C
Head airbags
The forward movement of the body is cushioned when it makes contact with
the fully inflated airbag and the risk of injury to the remaining body parts is
thus reduced.
Front airbags - head and upper body. The airbags can be identified by the lettering featured on the steering wheel and on the dash panel on the passenger side.
Side airbags - for the entire upper body (chest, stomach, pelvis) on the side
next to the door. The air bags can be identified by a label with the lettering
marked on the front seat backrests.
Head airbags - head and neck. The airbags are provided with the lettering
marked on the B-pillar cladding.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the airbag system consists of the
following parts.
▶
Individual airbags.
▶
Warning light in the instrument cluster » page 43.
▶
Key switch for the front passenger airbag » page 30.
▶

Airbag deployment
Fig. 24
Inflated airbags
The airbag system is only functional when the ignition is switched on.
When triggered, the airbag fills with gas and unfolds. The inflation of the airbag is carried out in a fraction of a second.
When the airbag inflates, smoke is released. This is not a sign of a fire in the
vehicle.
Airbag system

Triggering conditions
It is not possible to generally determine which deployment conditions apply to
the airbag system in every situation. The important factors here are the hardness of the object with which the vehicle collides, the angle of impact, vehicle
speed etc.
A decisive factor in the deployment of the airbags is the degree of deceleration at the time. If the vehicle deceleration which occurs and is measured during the collision remains below the prescribed reference values specified in the
control unit, the airbags are not deployed although the vehicle may well suffer
severe damage to the bodywork as a consequence of the accident.
The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe frontal
collision.
▶
Driver’s front airbag.
▶
Front passenger airbag.
The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe side
collision.
▶
Front side airbag.
▶
Head airbag.
When an airbag is deployed, the following events occur.
▶
The hazard warning lights are switched on.
▶
All the doors are unlocked.
▶
The fuel supply to the engine is interrupted.
▶
The interior light comes on (if the automatic operation of the interior light is
switched on - position ).
When there is no air bag deployment?
With minor frontal and side collisions, rear collision, overturning of the vehicle
or vehicle roll-over there is no airbag deployment.

Safe distance from the steering
wheel and dashboard
WARNING
General information
■
The seat belts and the airbag system can only offer proper protection
if the driver and passengers are seated properly » page 21.
■
The airbag unleashes enormous force when triggered, which can lead to
serious injuries or fatalities if the driver and passengers are not seated
properly. This applies in particular to children who are transported without
using a suitable child safety seat » page 33.
■
If there is a fault, have the airbag system checked immediately by a specialist garage. Otherwise, there is a risk of the airbag not being activated in
the event of an accident.
■
If the airbag has been deployed, the airbag system must then be replaced.
■
The surface of the steering wheel and the dashboard should only be
cleaned with a dry or slightly dampened cloth in the area of the front airbags.
WARNING
Information about the front airbags
■
For the driver and passenger, it is important to maintain a distance of at
least 25 cm from the steering wheel or dashboard » Fig. 25 - A. If this distance is not maintained, the airbag system cannot protect you - hazard! The
front seats and the head restraints must always also be correctly adjusted
to match the body size of the occupant.
