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 a.s. 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 ensure 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 rust perforation to the bodywork of your vehicle that occurs
within twelve years from the start of the warranty. Only rust perforation of
body panels from the inside to the outside is included in the definition of rust
perforation on bodywork and covered by the ŠKODA warranty.
The start of warranty is the date on which the first buyer purchases the new
cars from the ŠKODA Partner1). This date must be noted accordingly by the
ŠKODA Partner in the Owner´s Manual for your vehicle » Documentation of
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 in
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.
One of the conditions for service from the ŠKODA warranty is that all service
work has been carried out in a timely and adequate manner and in accordance
with ŠKODA AUTO provisions. It must be proven that service work has been
carried out properly and in accordance with the ŠKODA AUTO provisions
when raising a claim from the ŠKODA warranty. In the event of a missed service or failure to carry out a service according to the ŠKODA AUTO 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 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 are not factory installed and/or delivered.
In addition, this warranty does not apply if the defect was caused by one of the
following:
▶
Unauthorized use, improper handling (e.g. use in racing competitions or overloading), improper care and maintenance or unapproved modification to your
vehicle.
▶
Non-compliance with provisions in the Owner's Manual or other factory-supplied instructions.
▶
External causes or influences (e.g. accidents, hail, flooding etc.).
1)
Due to the requirements of generally binding country-specific regulations,
the date of first registration can be specified instead of the date of the vehicle handover.
Liability for defects 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 ga-
rage or was not rectified properly.
It is the customer's responsibility to prove that it was not the cause.
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.
If your vehicle breaks down on the road due to an unexpected failure, services
to keep you moving are provided under the mobility guarantee, which include
the following services for you: Breakdown assistance at the roadside and towing to ŠKODA Service partners, 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 available for your vehicle, you should check with any ŠKODA
Service Partner about the possibility of a subsequent 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 previously mentioned paint warranty and the warranty against rust perforation 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.

Safety
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 23, 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.
Driver’s correct seated position
Fig. 2
Correct seated position for the driver/correct steering wheel po-
sition
Read and observe on page 13 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 in the forward/back direction so that the pedals
can be fully depressed with slightly bent legs.
For vehicles equipped with driver knee airbags, adjust the driver's seat in a
forward/back direction so that there is a gap of at least 10 cm between
the legs and the dashboard in the vicinity of the knee airbag » Fig. 2 -
B
.
Adjust the seat backrest so that the highest point of the steering wheel
can be reached with your arms at a slight angle.
Adjust the steering wheel so that the distance between the steering wheel
and your chest is at least 25 cm » Fig. 2 - A.
Adjust the headrest so that the top edge of the headrest is at the same
level as the upper part of your head (not for seats with integrated headrests) » Fig. 2 - C.
Correctly fasten the seat belt » page 16, Using seat belts.
WARNING
■
Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm from the steering wheel, and a distance of at least 10 cm between the legs and the dash panel at the height
of the knee airbag. Not maintaining this minimum distance will mean that
the airbag system will not be able to properly 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, in the event
of airbag deployment, you could suffer serious injury to the arms, hands
and head.
■
Ensure that no objects are located in the driver's footwell, as they could
lodge in the pedal system whilst driving. You would then no longer be able
to operate the clutch, brake or acceleration pedals.

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.
Adjust the headrests so that the top edge of the headrest is at the same
level as the upper part of your head » Fig. 2 on page 13 - C (not for seats
with integrated headrests).
Correctly fasten the seat belt » page 16, Using seat belts.
WARNING
■
Ensure a distance of at least 25 cm to the dashboard, otherwise the air-
1
bag system will not be able to protect you properly - risk of death!
■
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!

tem infrastructure, then the vehicle data is not transmitted to the emergency
call centre.
Passive Safety

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 considerably. They also prevent uncontrolled movements which, in turn, may well result in severe injuries.
When transporting children, observe the following information» page 23,
Transporting children safely.
WARNING
■
Put the seat belt on before starting any journey! 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 12, 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 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 79.
WARNING
Information on the care and maintenance of safety belts
■
The belt webbing must always be kept clean. Soiled belt webbing may impair the proper operation of the inertia reel » page 267.
■
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 parts of the
belt system become damaged (e.g. the belt webbing, the belt connections,
the inertia reel, the locking part etc.), the respective seat belt must be replaced by a specialist garage immediately.
■
Seat belts which have been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced by a specialist garage. The anchorage points for the belts should also be checked.

Inertia reel and belt tensioners
Introduction
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 the inertia reel
inspected immediately by a specialist garage.
If there is a collision with 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.
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.

Airbag system
Description of the airbag system
Introduction
As a supplement to the seat belts, the airbag system provides additional passenger protection in the event of severe frontal and side collisions.
The best possible protective effect of the airbag can only be achieved if the
seat belts are applied properly. 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 36.

Head airbags
Front airbags - The forward movement 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 are provided with the lettering on the steering wheel
and on the dashboard on the front passenger side.
Driver´s knee airbag - The forward movement of the body is cushioned when
it makes contact with the fully inflated airbag, and the risk of injury to the legs
of the driver is thus reduced.
The knee airbag is provided with the lettering on the dashboard on the
driver's side.
Side airbags - The load of the occupants is cushioned when plunged into the
fully inflated airbag. The risk of injury to the entire upper body (chest, stomach
and pelvis) is reduced on the side facing the door.
The side air bags are marked by a label with the lettering
seat backrests. The rear side airbags are provided with the lettering
on the front
in
between the entrance area and the rear seat backrest.
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 head and
chest is thus reduced.
The head 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.

Airbag deployment
Inflated airbags
Fig. 9
The airbag system is only functional when the ignition is switched on.
When triggered, the airbag is filled with gas and unfolds. The inflation of the
airbag is carried out in a fraction of a second.
Upon inflation of the airbag, smoke is released. This is not an indication 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. Important here is the hardness of the object on which the vehicle impacts, the impact angle, the vehicle speed, etc.
The deceleration plays an important role in the deployment of the airbags. 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.
▶
Driver’s knee airbag.
The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe side
collision.
▶
Front side airbag.
▶
Rear side airbag.
▶
Head airbag.
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 - switch ).
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. 10
Safe distance from the steering
wheel and the dashboard
WARNING
General information
■
The best possible protective effect of the seat belts and the airbag
system can only be achieved in the correct seated position » page 12.
■
The airbag develops considerable forces when triggered, which can lead
to serious injuries or even death if the correct seating position or seated
position is not observed. This applies in particular to children who are transported without using a suitable child safety seat » page 25.
■
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.
20
Safety
WARNING (Continued)
■
The airbag system must be replaced if it has been deployed.
■
In the area of the front airbag and the knee airbag, the surface of the
steering wheel and the dashboard should be cleaned using only a dry cloth
or one that has been dampened with water.
WARNING
Information about 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 the dashboard » Fig. 10 - A. If
you do not keep this distance, it means that the airbag system cannot protect you - There is a risk to life! The front seats and the head restraints
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 22, 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 may be positioned in front of the occupants on the front seats in the deployment area of the front air bags.
■
The steering wheel and the surface of the dashboard on the front passenger side must not have stickers attached, covered or modified in any other
way. No parts (e.g. cup holders, mobile phone mounts etc.( should be
mounted in the vicinity of the airbag installation locations and in the airbag
deployment area.
■
Never place objects on the surface of the dashboard on the front passenger side.
WARNING
Information about knee airbags
■
Adjust the driver's seat in a forward/back direction so that there is a gap
of at least 10 cm between the legs and the dashboard in the vicinity of the
knee airbag » Fig. 10 - B. If it is not possible to meet this requirement due
to your body size, visit a specialist garage.
WARNING (Continued)
■
The surface of the airbag module in the lower part of the dash panel below the steering column not have stickers attached, be covered or modified in any other way. Nothing may be attached to the cover of the airbag
module or located within the immediate vicinity.
■
Do not attach any bulky and heavy objects (bunch of keys etc.) to the ignition key. These can be ejected by the knee airbag when it is deployed and
can cause injuries.
WARNING
Information about for 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 clothes hooks in the vehicle. Do not leave any
heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of the clothing. Do not use clothes
hangers to hang the clothing.
■
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 261.
■
No excessive forces, such as knocks, kicks etc., should be exerted on the
seat backrests - there is a risk of damage to the side air bags. 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 the type expressly authorized by ŠKODA. 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.
■
Have any damage to the original seat covers or stitching at the installation point of the side airbags repaired immediately by a specialist garage.
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 seat)
must only be carried out by a specialist garage. Further information

Transporting children safely
Child seat
Introduction
To reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident, children must be transported in child seats!
The information in this Owner´s Manual as well as the instructions of the child
seat manufacturer must be observed when installing and using the child seat.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you always transport child seats on
the rear seats. Children should be transported on the front passenger seat only
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 have a test seal that cannot be removed: A large letter E in a circle, with the test number underneath.
WARNING
■
One should never carry children - or indeed babies - on one's lap.
■
When leaving the vehicle, do not leave children unattended in the vehicle.
They 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 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.
■
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.
Transporting children safely
23
WARNING (Continued)
■
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.
■
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 80. 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.
