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.).



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

▶

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.

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.



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.

the predefined vehicle and occupant data time at the time of the accident (e.g. the vehicle identification number, the vehicle location, the number of unbelted occupants, the number of deployed airbags and other similar information) to the emergency call centre.

■

If the vehicle is located in an area without an operational emergency call sys-

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.

Safety

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. spectacles, ball-point pens, keys, etc.). Such objects can cause injury.

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.

Safety

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.

Front airbags

Driver’s knee airbag

Front side airbags

Rear side airbags

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



between the entrance area and the rear seat backrest. Head airbags - The forward movement of the body is cushioned when it

Airbag system

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.



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

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.

Windscreen wipers and washers

 Introduction

The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is switched on and the bonnet and boot are closed.

WARNING

Do not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures, without heating the windscreen beforehand. The window washer fluid could otherwise freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.

CAUTION

■

If the windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from the windscreen. The wipers must be set to the service position to raise them off the windscreen » page 298.

■

In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before switching on the ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If the windscreen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the windscreen, this may damage both the blades and windscreen wiper motor.

■

Carefully release the frozen-on windscreen wiper blades from the windscreen and remove snow and ice.

■

Handle the windscreen wipers with care - there is the risk of damaging the windscreen with the windscreen wiper arms.

■

Do not switch on the ignition when the front windscreen wiper arms are folded down - there is the danger of damaging the bonnet by the windscreen wiper arms.

■

If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wipers will try to push away the obstacle five times. Thereafter, the wipers will stop to prevent them becoming damaged. Turn on the wipers again only after the obstacle has been removed.

Note

■

Each time the ignition switches off for the third time, the position of the windscreen wipers changes. This counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper blades.

■

The windscreen washer nozzles for the windscreen are heated when the engine is running and the outside temperature is less than +10 °C.

To ensure the correct functioning of the system, even in winter, this needs to be regularly cleared of snow and ice (e.g. using the de-icing spray).

Rear view mirror

 Introduction

WARNING

Exterior mirrors increase the field of view, however, make objects appear

smaller and further away. Therefore, use the rear-view mirror to determine

the distances to the following vehicles.

WARNING

■

The mirrors with automatic dimming contain electrolyte fluid which may leak if the mirror glass is broken - this can irritate skin, eyes and the respiratory system.

■

If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immediately wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water. Seek medical assistance if required.

Electrical sockets

 Introduction

WARNING

■

Do not place anything on the dashboard. These objects might slide or fall down when driving and may distract you from concentrating on the traffic – risk of accident!

■

Make sure that while driving no objects can enter the driver's footwell -

cause an accident!

■

Safely stow all devices during the journey to prevent them from being

thrown around the interior in the event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or an accident – risk of death!

■

The devices may warm up during operation – risk of injury or fire!

■

Improper use of the power sockets and the electrical accessories can cause fires, burns and other serious injuries.

■

The 12-Volt sockets also work if the ignition is switched off. When leaving the vehicle, never leave persons who are not completely independent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle.

CAUTION

When using the 12 volt power outlets the following notes are to be observed.

■

The sockets can only be used for the connection of approved electrical ac-

cessories with a total power consumption of up to 120 watts, otherwise the electrical system of the vehicle may be damaged.

Read and observe and on page 91 first.



The 230-volt socket has a child safety lock. When inserting the plug, the fuse is released, the socket is activated and the warning light above the socket is illuminates green (if this flashes red, then the socket is deactivated).

The socket works with the engine running (in STOP mode in vehicles with the START-STOP system) and for about 10 minutes after the engine is switched off, provided an appliance was still connected prior to switching off the engine (the warning light flashes green)).

To use, fold up the cover of the socket in the direction of arrow » Fig. 98 and

›

plug the electrical appliance plug into the socket. Before removing the electrical appliance plug from the socket, fold open the

›

cover of the socket part way in the direction of the arrow.

An automatic deactivation of the socket can take place, for example, for the following reasons.

▶

Excessive current.

▶

Low state of charge of the battery.

▶

High outlet temperature.

If disabling reasons no longer exist, the automatic activation of the socket can be done.

Should no automatic activation of the socket take place, the connected devices must be disconnected from the power outlet and reconnect after a short time.

WARNING

■

Make sure that no liquid or moisture enters into the socket - it can be fatal! If fluid does manage to get into the power socket, completely dry out the socket before reuse.

■

The child lock on the power socket is unlocked when using adapters and extension cables which carry volts – risk of injury!

■

Do no insert any objects (e.g. knitting needles) into the contacts of the power socket – risk of death!

CAUTION

■

The power socket can only be used for connecting approved electrical ac-

cessories with a two-pin 230V plug, with a total power uptake of up to 150 watt.

■

The plug of the electrical appliance must be plugged in up to the stop, other-

wise the child safety lock can be unlocked and the socket may be activated but the electric appliance is still not receiving power.

■

Do not connect bulbs with neon tubes in the socket - there is a risk of dam-

aging the lamp.

■

For appliances with an independent power source (e.g. such as notebooks),

first connect the power source itself and only after that connect the appliance.

Transport of cargo

Luggage compartment

 Introduction

When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to the shift in centre-of-gravity. The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly.

When transporting cargo the following the instructions must be adhered to

▶

Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compartment and secure it with suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes or securing nets so that they can-

not slip.

▶

Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.

▶

Tyre pressure is to match 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 boot lid is opened or closed. If the boot lid is open and the ignition switched off, the light will extinguish au-

tomatically after around 10 minutes.

WARNING

■

Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,

nets, hooks etc. Heavy objects were not secured sufficiently – risk of injury!

■

Do not exceed the permissible axle loads and permissible gross weight of

the vehicle – risk of accident!

■

An unfixed or improperly fixed load can slip during a sudden manoeuvre

or an accident - danger 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 .

CAUTION

■

Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,

nets, hooks etc. - these could be damaged.

■

Make sure that the heating elements of the rear window heater, the elements of the integrated aerial in the rear window or in the rear side windows are not damaged by abrasive items.

■

Do not place sharp objects in the nets and storage compartments in the luggage compartment - there is a risk of damage to the net as well as the compartments.

■

Put the items in the storage compartments carefully and not load these punctiform - there is a risk of damage to the compartments.
