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 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.

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 he/she 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.



Due to the requirements of the country-specific regulations which are generally binding, 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

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

Wearing 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 kinetic energy 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 28, Transporting children safely.

WARNING

■

Fasten seat belts before every journey! This also applies to other passen-

gers - there is a danger of injury!

■

Maximum seat belt protection is only achieved if you are correctly seated

» page 18, Correct and safe seating 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 (Continued)

■

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 attach clamps or similar objects to the belt - the function of the belt retractor could be restricted.

■

The seat belts for the rear seats can only fulfil their function reliably when the seat backrests are correctly locked into position » page 70.

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 206.

■

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 by a specialist immediately.

■

Seat belts which have been subject to stress in an accident should be replaced by a specialist garage. Also check the seat belt anchors.

WARNING

Information on dealing with the safety belts

■

The belt webbing must not be jammed in-between at any point or twisted

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.

■

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.

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 (under no circumstances across your neck) and lie flush to the chest» Fig. 16 - .

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. 16 - .

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. 16 - .

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 abruptly 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.

Inertia reel and belt pre-tensioners

Inertia reels

Each seat belt is equipped with an inertia reel. The seat belt can move freely when it is pulled slowly. The seat belt is locked

by the inertia reel when it is pulled suddenly. The belts also lock under full braking, under acceleration, 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 a roll-over, minor collisions or 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 warning light  in the instrument cluster » page 41.

System description

Fig. 19 Airbag installation points

Airbag installation points » Fig. 19

Front airbags

Side airbags

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.

Airbag deployment

Fig. 20 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

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.

The deceleration during impact plays an important role in the deployment of the airbags. If the vehicle deceleration which occurs and is measured 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 ignition is 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.

Safety instructions

Fig. 21

Safe distance from the steering wheel and dash panel

WARNING

General information

■

The seat belts and the airbag system can only offer proper protection

if the driver and passengers are seated properly » page 18.

■

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 30.

■

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 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 passenger, it is important to maintain a distance of at least 25 cm from the steering wheel or dashboard » Fig. 21 - A. If this distance is not maintained, the airbag system cannot protect you - hazard! The front seats and the head restraints must always be correctly adjusted to match the body size of the occupant.



Airbag system

WARNING (Continued)

■

It is essential to switch off the front passenger airbag if you are using a child seat on the front passenger seat in which the child is carried with its back facing the direction of travel » page 26, 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.

■

No other persons, animals or objects should be placed in front of the occupants 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 plastered, covered or modified in any way. No parts (e.g. cup holders, mobile phone mounts etc.) 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 on side and head airbags

■

No objects (e.g. sun visors turned towards the windows) should be located in the deployment area of the side and head airbags. No accessories (e.g. cup holders etc.) should be fitted to the doors - risk 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 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 202.

■

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.

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 202.

■

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.

Airbag deactivation

Deactivating airbags

The front passenger airbag can be switched off with the key-operated switch

» Fig. 22 on page 27 - .

We recommend that you ask a ŠKODA Service Partner to switch off any other airbags.

A warning light  indicates that the airbag has been deactivated » page 41.

Deactivating an airbag should, for example, be considered only in the following cases.

▶

A child seat is mounted on the front passenger seat, in which the child is transported with its back to the direction of travel » page 28.

▶

Despite correct adjustment of the driver's seat, the distance of at least 25 cm between the middle of the steering wheel and chest cannot be maintained.

▶

Additional controls for drivers with a physical disability are installed in the vehicle.

▶

Special seats (e.g. orthopaedic seats without side airbags) are installed in the vehicle.

Transporting children safely

Child seat

 Introduction

To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, children should only be transported in child seats!

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 in the rear seats. Only transport a child in 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: large E in the circle, with test number below.

WARNING

■

You should never carry children - including babies! - on your lap.

■

When leaving the vehicle, do not leave children unattended in the vehicle. Children might not be capable of leaving the vehicle or helping themselves independently in the event of an emergency. Can be fatal at very high or very low temperatures!

■

The child must be secured in the vehicle throughout the journey! Otherwise, in the event of an accident, the child would be thrown through the vehicle and as a result may suffer fatal injuries and also injure other occupants.

■

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.

WARNING (Continued)

■

Safety belts must be checked to ensure that they are positioned properly. Care should also be taken to ensure that the belt is not damaged by sharpedged 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.

■

When installing a child seat in which the child faces forward, adjust the head restraints so that they are as high as possible.

■

If the head restraints still prevent the child seat from being installed, even in the highest position, you will need to remove them » page 72. 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.

Operation

WARNING

■

Always adjust the speed and driving style to the actual weather, road, ter-

rain and traffic conditions.

■

The diesel particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a fire hazard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the vehicle at places where the underside of your vehicle can come into contact with flammable materials, such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled fuel etc.

CAUTION

■

As long as the warning light  illuminates, one must take into account an

increased fuel consumption and a power reduction of the engine.

■

Using diesel fuel with increased sulphur content can significantly reduce the

service life of the diesel particle filter. A ŠKODA Partner will be able to tell you which countries use diesel fuel with increased sulphur content.

Note

We encourage you to avoid constant short journeys. This will improve the combustion process of the soot particles in the diesel particulate filter.

Unlocking and opening

Unlocking and locking

 Introduction

The vehicle is equipped with a central locking system which makes it possible to unlock / lock all the doors, the fuel filler flap and boot lid simultaneously.

The door unlocking can be adjusted individually » page 55. The unlocking of the vehicle is displayed by the turn signal lights flashing

twice. If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next

45 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically. The locking of the vehicle is displayed by the turn signal lights flashing once. If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked. If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle doors have been

locked, the turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.

WARNING

■

Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthorised persons (e.g. children) could lock the vehicle, turn on the ignition or start the engine - danger of injury and accidents!

■

When leaving the vehicle, never leave people who are not completely independent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. These individuals might not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help themselves. At very high or very low temperatures can be fatal!

CAUTION

■

Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected

against moisture and severe shocks.

■

Keep the key grooves clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust etc.) have a nega-

tive effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and ignition lock.

Transport of cargo

Luggage compartment and transporting objects

 Introduction

When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to the shift in the centre of gravity. Therefore, adjust the speed and driving mode accordingly.

When transporting cargo the instructions below must be followed

▶

Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compartment and secure it with suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes or fixing nets so that they cannot slip.

▶

Place heavy objects as far forward in the luggage compartment as possible.

▶

Match the tyre pressure to the load.

In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic energy that they can cause severe injuries.

The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.

Luggage compartment light

The light switches on/off when the luggage compartment lid is opened or closed.

If the boot lid is open and the ignition switched off, the light will go out automatically after 10 minutes.

WARNING

■

Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners, nets, hooks etc. Heavy objects were not secured sufficiently – There is a risk of injury!

■

An unsecured dirt or improperly attached load could slip during a sudden manoeuvre or in an accident in the vehicle - There is a risk of injury!

■

Loose cargo could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of death!

■

When transporting loads in the luggage compartment that has been enlarged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure the safety of the passengers transported on the other rear seats.



Heating and ventilation

Heating, manual air conditioning system, Climatronic

 Introduction

The heater heats and ventilates the vehicle interior. The air conditioning system also cools and dehumidifies the vehicle interior.

The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.

The cooling system works under the following conditions.

The cooling system is switched on.



The engine is running.



The outside temperature is above 2 °C.



The blower is switched on.



When the cooling system is switched on, it prevents misting of the windscreen and windows.

It is possible to boost the effectiveness of the cooling system by briefly activating the air recirculation system» page 93.

Health protection

To reduce health risks (e.g. common colds), the following instructions for the use of the cooling system are to be observed.

▶

The difference between the outside temperature and the inside temperature should not be greater than 5 °C.

▶

The cooling system should be turned off about 10 minutes before the end of the journey.

▶

Once a year, a disinfection of the air conditioner must be carried out by a specialist company.

WARNING

■

The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting.

Otherwise there is a risk of accident.

■

Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow

out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.



Heating and ventilation

Climatronic

If humidity increases in the vehicle, an automatic shutdown of air recirculation can occur.

WARNING

The recirculation system cannot be switched on for a longer period of time, because no fresh air is fed through from the outside. “Stale air” may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce attention levels and also cause the windows to mist up. As soon as windows mist up, turn on the recirculation system immediately - The is a risk of an accident!

CAUTION

We recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air operation is switched on. The smoke sucked from the interior is deposited on the evaporator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through considerable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
