materials defect liability 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 paint work 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.
If your ŠKODA vehicle was purchased from a ŠKODA Partner in a country of the
European Economic Area (i.e. the countries of the European Union, Norway,
Iceland and Liechtenstein) or in Switzerland, claims arising from the ŠKODA
warranty must also be made through a ŠKODA Service Partner in one of these
countries.
If your ŠKODA vehicle was purchased from a ŠKODA Partner outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland, claims arising from the ŠKODA warranty
must also be made through a ŠKODA Service Partner outside the European
Economic Area and Switzerland.
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.).
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.
materials defect liability and ŠKODA warranty for new cars
5
▶
Parts fitted 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.
Mobility warranty
The mobility warranty provides a sense of security when travelling in your vehicle.
As part of the mobility warranty, if your car breaks down as a result of an unexpected fault when you are on the move, you can access services to ensure
your continued mobility. These services include the following: Breakdown
service at the breakdown location and towing to the ŠKODA Service Partner,
technical assistance by phone or on-site operation.
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 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.

WARNING
■
The front seats and all head restraints must be adjusted to match the
body size at all times and the seat belt must always be fastened properly to
provide the most effective levels of protection to the passengers.
■
Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.
Children must be fastened » page 20, Transporting children safely with a
suitable restraint system.
■
The seat backrests must not be tilted too far back when driving, as this
will impair the function of the seat belts and of the airbag system – risk of
injury!
WARNING
By sitting incorrectly, the occupant is risking life-threatening injuries.
The correct seating position for the driver
Fig. 2
Correct seated position for the driver/correct steering wheel posi-
tion
Read and observe on page 12 first.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident,
the following instructions must be observed.
Adjust the driver's seat so that the pedals can be fully depressed with
slightly bent legs and the distance between the steering wheel and your
chest is at least 25 cm » Fig. 2 - A.
Adjust the seat backrest so that the highest point of the steering wheel
can be reached with your arms at a slight angle.
Correctly fasten the seat belt » page 15.
WARNING
■
A distance of least 25 cm to the steering wheel should be maintained,
otherwise the airbag system will not be able to protect you - hazard!
■
When driving, hold the steering wheel with both hands firmly on the outer edge in the “9 o'clock” and “3 o'clock” position » Fig. 2. Never hold the
steering wheel in the “12 o'clock” position or in any other way (e.g. in the
middle, inner edge of the steering wheel or similar). Otherwise, you could
sustain serious injury to the arms, hands and head if the airbag is activated.
■
Ensure there are no objects in the driver's footwell as they may get behind the pedals while driving. You would then no longer be able to operate
the clutch, brake or acceleration pedals.

Correct seating position for the front passenger
Read and observe on page 12 first.
For passenger safety and to reduce the risk of injury in an accident, the following instructions must be observed.
Position the front passenger seat back as far as possible. The front pas-
senger must maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the dash panel so
that the airbag offers the greatest possible safety if it is deployed.

WARNING
■
A distance of least 25 cm to the dash panel should be maintained, other-
wise the airbag system will not be able to protect you - hazard!
■
Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven – never place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the
surface of the seats! You will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes necessary to apply the brake or in the event of an accident. If an airbag is deployed, you could suffer fatal injuries by adopting an incorrect
seated position!
Correct seating position for the passengers in the rear seats
Read and observe
For the safety of the passengers in the rear seats, and to reduce the risk of
injury in an accident, the following instructions must be observed.
Adjust the head restraint so that the top edge of the head restraint is at
the same level as the upper part of your head.
Correctly fasten the seat belt » page 15.
on page 12 first.
Seat belts
Using seat belts
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Correct routing of seat belt 14
Fastening and unfastening seat belts 15
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 20, 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 11, 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 when closing the door.
WARNING
Information on the proper use of the safety belts
■
No two persons (also not children) should ever use a single seat belt to-
gether.
Seat belts
13
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 52.
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 91.
■
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.
Correct routing of seat belt
Read and observe on page 13 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. 4 -
.
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. 4 - .
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. 4 - .
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.

head restraints).
Adjust the seat (applies to the front seats).
›
Fastening
Use the lock tongue to slowly pull the webbing over your chest and pelvis.
›
Insert the lock tongue into the belt buckle » Fig. 5 – 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.
›
Releasing
Grip the lock tongue and press the red button in the buckle » Fig. 5 - , 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
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Inertia reels
Belt tensioners 15
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.
15
Seat belts
15
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
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
System description 16
Airbag deployment 17
Safety instructions 18
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 36.

Front side airbags Head-Thorax
Front airbags - the forward thrust of the driver and of the front passenger is
cushioned when they make contact with the fully-inflated airbag, and the risk
of injury to head and chest is thus reduced.
The front airbags can be identified by the lettering
featured on the steer-
ing wheel and on the dash panel on the passenger side.
Side airbags Head-Thorax - The stress on occupants’ bodies is cushioned
when they make contact with the fully-inflated airbag and the risk of injury to
head and the entire upper body (chest, stomach and pelvis) is reduced on the
side facing the door.
The side air bags can be identified by a label with the lettering
marked on
the front seat backrests.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the airbag system consists of the
following parts.
▶
Individual airbags.

Airbag deployment
When the airbag inflates, smoke is released. This is not a sign of a fire in the
vehicle.
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.
▶
Head-Thorax side airbag on the crash side.
When an airbag is deployed, the following events occur.
▶
The hazard warning lights are switched on.
▶
All 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.
Fig. 7 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.

Safety instructions

Safe distance from the steering
wheel and dash panel
WARNING
General information
■
The seat belts and the airbag system can only offer optimum protection
if the driver and passengers are seated properly » page 11.
■
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 22.
■
If there is a fault, have the airbag system checked immediately by a specialist garage. Otherwise, there is a risk that the airbag will not be deployed
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 dash panel 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 front passenger it is important to maintain a distance
of at least 25 cm to the steering wheel or dash panel » Fig. 8 - A. If you do
not keep this distance, the airbag system may not protect you - danger of
fatality! The front seats must always also be correctly adjusted to match
the body size of the occupant.
■
The front passenger airbag must be deactivated if using a rear-facing
child seat on the front passenger seat » page 19, Airbag deactivation. If
this is not done, there is a risk of the child suffering severe or even fatal
injuries if the front passenger airbag is deployed.
WARNING (Continued)
■
No other persons, animals or objects should be placed in front of the oc-
cupants in the front seats in the deployment area of the front airbags.
■
The steering wheel and the surface of the dash panel on the passenger
side must not be stickered, covered or modified in any way. No parts (e.g.
cup holders, mobile phone mounts and the like) may be mounted near the
airbag installation points and in the airbag deployment area.
■
Never place objects on the surface of the dash panel on the passenger
side.
WARNING
Information about the side airbags
■
No objects (e.g. sun visors pivoted towards the windows) should be
placed in the deployment area of the side airbag, and no accessories (e.g.
cup holders and the like) should be mounted on the doors - danger of injury!
■
Hang only light clothing on the hooks in the vehicle, do not leave any
heavy or sharp objects in the pockets. Do not use hangers to hang up the
clothes.
■
The airbag system operates using pressure sensors located in the front
doors. For this reason, no adjustments may be carried out to the doors or
door panels (e.g. installation of additional loudspeakers). Further information » page 86.
■
No excessive force, e.g. through blows, kicks etc. should be applied to the
seat backrests - there is a risk of damage to the side airbags. The side airbags would not be deployed in such a case!
■
Any seat or protective covers which you fit to the driver or front passenger seats must only be of a type expressly authorised by ŠKODA AUTO. In
view of the fact that the airbag inflates out of the backrest of the seat, use
of non-approved seat or protective covers would considerably impair the
protective function of the side airbag.
■
Any damage to the original seat covers or stitching at the installation
points for the side airbags should be immediately repaired by a specialist
company.
18
Safety
WARNING
Information on the use of the airbag system
■
Any work on the airbag system, including the installation and removal of
system components due to other repair work (e.g. removal of the steering
wheel), must only be carried out by a specialist garage. Further information
» page 86.
■
No changes of any sort should be made to parts of the airbag system, the
front bumper or the bodywork.
■
Do not manipulate individual parts of the airbag system, as this might result in the airbag being deployed.

Transporting children safely
Child seat
Introduction
To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, children should only be transported
in child seats!
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Use of a child seat on the front passenger seat 21
Use of a child seat on the front seat 22
Child safety and the side airbag 22
Classification of child seats 22
Use of child safety seats which are secured with a safety belt 23
Please refer to the instructions in this Owner's Manual and the child seat manufacturer's instructions with regard to the installation and use of the child
seat.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you always transport children on the
rear seats. Only transport a child on the passenger seat in exceptional circumstances.
Child seats complying with the ECE-R 44 Economic Commission for Europe
standard must be used.
Child seats that comply with the ECE-R 44 standard are identified with a test
mark that cannot be removed: a large E within a circle with the test number
below.
WARNING
■
One should never carry children, and also not babies! - on one's lap.
■
When leaving the vehicle, do not leave children unattended in the vehicle.
In an emergency, they might not be able to get out of the vehicle on their
own or to help themselves. Danger to life at very high or very low temperatures!
■
The child must be secured in the vehicle during the entire journey! Otherwise, the child would be thrown through the vehicle in the event of an accident, causing fatal injuries to both the child and other occupants.
20
Safety
WARNING (Continued)
■
Children are exposed to an increased risk of injury in the event of an accident if they lean forward or adopt an incorrect seated position when the
vehicle is moving. This particularly applies to children who are transported
on the front passenger seat as they can suffer severe, or even fatal injuries
if the airbag system is deployed!
■
Pay particular attention to the information provided by the manufacturer
of the child safety seat regarding the correct routing of the belt. Seat belts
which are not correctly adjusted can themselves cause injuries even in minor accidents.
■
Safety belts must be checked to ensure that they are running properly.
One should also ensure that the belt is not damaged by sharp-edged fittings.
■
When installing the child seat on the back seat, the corresponding front
seat must be adjusted so that there is no contact between the front seat
and the child seat or the child being transported in a child seat.
CAUTION
■
When installing a child seat in which the child faces forward, adjust the head
restraints so that they are as high as possible (valid for the rear seats).
■
If the head restraints still prevent the child seat from being installed, even in
the highest position, you will need to remove them (valid for the rear seats)
» page 53. After removing the child seat, refit the head restraints.
Note
We recommend that you use child seats from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
These child seats were developed and also tested for use in ŠKODA vehicles.
They meet the ECE-R 44 standard.
