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 provisions. It must be proven that
service work has been carried out properly and in accordance with the ŠKODA
AUTO 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 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 were not installed and/or delivered ex-factory.
In addition, this warranty does not apply if the defect was caused by one of the
following:
▶
Unauthorised use, improper handling (e.g. use in racing competitions or overloading), improper care and maintenance or unauthorised modifications to
your vehicle.
▶
Non-compliance with instructions in the Owner's Manual or other factorysupplied instructions.
▶
External causes or influences (e.g. accidents, hail, flooding etc.).
▶
Parts fitted or connected on or in the vehicle whose use has not been approved by ŠKODA AUTO, or modification of the vehicle in a manner not approved by ŠKODA AUTO (e.g. tuning).
▶
Damage caused by you that was not immediately seen to by a specialist garage or was not rectified properly.
It is the customer's responsibility to prove that s/he is not the cause of the
damage.
This ŠKODA warranty does not affect the purchaser's statutory rights from
materials defect liability from the vehicle vendor and other potential claims
from product liability laws.
1)
Due to the requirements of the generally binding country-specific regulations, the date of first registration can be given instead of the date of the vehicle handover.

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 carrying out all 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.

with all vehicles. Changes in terms of supply scope are possible at any time
with regard to design, equipment and technology. The information listed in the
Owner's Manual corresponds to the information available at the time of going
to press.
Therefore legal claims cannot be made based on the technical data, illustrations and information contained in the Owner's Manual.
We recommend that the web pages that are referred to in the Owner's Manual are displayed using the classic view. Not all necessary information may be

Seat belts
Using seat belts
Introduction
Seat belts that are fastened correctly offer good protection in the event of an
accident. They reduce the risk of an injury and increase the chance of survival
in the event of a major accident.
The seat belts reduce the kinetic energy (energy of motion) to a considerable
extent. They also prevent uncontrolled movements which, in turn, may well result in severe injuries.
When transporting a child the following instructions must be observed
» page 28, 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 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
Information on dealing with the safety belts
■
The belt webbing must not be jammed in-between at any point or twis-
ted, or chafe against any sharp edges.
■
Make sure you do not catch the seat belt in the door when closing it.
WARNING
Information on the proper use of the safety belts
■
Adjust the height of the belt in such a way that the shoulder part of the
belt is roughly positioned across the middle of your shoulder – on no account across your neck.
■
No two persons (also not children) should ever use a single seat belt together.
WARNING (Continued)
■
The lock tongue should only be inserted into the lock which is the correct
one for your seat. Wrong use of the safety belt will reduce its capacity to
protect and the risk of injury increases.
■
Many layers of clothing and loose clothing (e. g. a winter coat over a jacket) do not allow you to be correctly seated and impairs proper operation of
the seat belts.
■
Do not 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 193.
■
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. Also check the seat belt anchors.

Page 24
Fig. 17 Seat belt height adjusters for front seats
Read and observe on page 21 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. 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 - .
Seat belt height adjusters for front seats
Push the seat belt guide loop upwards in the direction of arrow» Fig. 17 - .
›
Or: push together the mechanism in the direction of arrows 1 and push the
›
return pulley downwards in the direction of arrow 2 » Fig. 17 - .
Then pull firmly on the belt to ensure that the seat belt height adjuster has
›
correctly locked in place and that the belt is blocked reliably » page 23, Inertia reels.
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.

WARNING
The reel opening for the lock tongue must not be blocked otherwise the
lock tongue will not lock into place properly.
Inertia reels and belt tensioners
Inertia reels
Each seat belt is equipped with an inertia reel.
When pulling slowly on the seat belt, the belt can move freely. When pulling
sharply on the seat belt, the movement is locked by the inertia reel. The belts
also lock when full braking, when the car accelerates, when driving downhill
and when cornering.
WARNING
If the seat belt does not lock when pulling sharply on it, have it inspected
immediately by a specialist garage.
Belt tensioners
Safety for the driver and front passenger wearing their seat belts is enhanced
by the belt tensioners fitted to the inertia reels of the front three-point seat
belts.
If there is a collision of a certain severity, the seat belts are tightened by the
belt tensioner so that unwanted body motion is prevented.
Belt tensioners are not activated in the event of 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

Front airbags
B
Side airbags
C
Head airbags
The forward movement of the body is cushioned when it makes contact with
the fully inflated airbag and the risk of injury to the remaining body parts is
thus reduced.
▶
Front airbags - head and upper body. The airbags can be identified by the
lettering featured on the steering wheel and on the dash panel on the
passenger side.
▶
Side airbags - for the entire upper body (chest, stomach, pelvis) on the side
next to the door. The air bags can be identified by a label with the lettering
marked on the front seat backrests.
▶
Head airbags - head and neck. The airbags are provided with the lettering
marked on the B-pillar cladding.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the airbag system consists of the
following parts.
▶
Individual airbags.

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.
24
Safety
Page 27
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 hazard warning lights are switched on.
▶
All the doors are unlocked.
▶
The fuel supply to the engine is interrupted.
▶
The interior light comes on (if the automatic operation of the interior light is
switched on - position ).
When there is no air bag deployment?
With minor frontal and side collisions, rear collision, overturning of the vehicle
or vehicle roll-over there is no airbag deployment.
Safety instructions
Fig. 21
Safe distance from the steering
wheel and dashboard
WARNING
General information
■
The seat belts and the airbag system can only offer proper protection
if the driver and passengers are seated properly » page 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 dashboard should only be
cleaned with a dry or slightly dampened cloth in the area of the front airbags.
WARNING
Information about the front airbags
■
For the driver and passenger, it is important to maintain a distance of at
least 25 cm from the steering wheel or dashboard » Fig. 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.
■
The front passenger airbag must be deactivated if using a rear-facing
child seat on the front passenger seat » 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.
Airbag system

Page 28
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 dashboard 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 dashboard on the passenger
side.
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 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.
■
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 190.
WARNING (Continued)
■
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 re-
sult 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 deactivate any other
airbags.
A warning light indicates that the airbag has been deactivated» page 41.
Deactivating an airbag should be considered in cases such as the ones
below.
▶
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.
WARNING
If an airbag is deactivated at the time of the vehicle being sold, the purchaser must be informed!

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 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.
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 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.
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 71. 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.

Warning labels
Fig. 23
Read and observe on page 28 first.
Never use a rearward-facing child restraint system on a seat which is protected by an active airbag. This could cause serious injury to the child, or
even death.
This warning is also given on stickers that are located in the following places.
▶
On the passenger sun visor» Fig. 23 - .
▶
On the B-column on the front passenger side » Fig. 23 – .
The following instructions must be followed when using a child seat on the
front passenger seat.
▶
It is essential to deactivate the front passenger airbag if using a child seat in
which the child is transported with its back facing the direction of travel »
▶
If possible, adjust the front passenger seat backrest so that it is as vertical, so
as to ensure secure contact between the passenger seat backrest and the
back of the child seat.
▶
If possible, move the front passenger seat backwards so that there is no contact between the front passenger seat and the child seat behind it.
▶
Set the height-adjustable front passenger seat as high up as possible.
▶
Set the front passenger seat belt as high up as possible.
▶
With child safety seats in groups 2 and 3, make sure that the loop-around fittings attached to the child seat headrest is positioned in front of or at the
same height as the loop-around fittings on the B pillar on the passenger side.
Adjust the height of the front passenger seat belt so that the belt does not
“jam” in the return pulley. In the event of an accident, there is the risk of injury to the neck of the child carried due to the seat belt!
WARNING
■
Never use a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat if the passenger airbag is activated. This child safety seat is positioned in the deployment area of the front passenger airbag. The airbag may cause the child severe, or even fatal injuries, in the event of it being deployed.
■
Once a child seat in which the child is transported with its back to the direction of travel is no longer being used on the passenger seat, the front
passenger airbag should be reactivated.

■
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 or the like.

Operation
Page 47
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.

trapped), the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by
several centimetres. However, the windows should be closed carefully –
risk of injury!
CAUTION
■
Keep the windows clean (free of ice and similar) to ensure the correct func-
tionality of the electric windows.
■
Always close the electric windows before disconnecting the battery.

If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 seconds, the closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down
by several centimetres.
If you attempt to close the window again within 10 seconds of the window being moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet
been removed, the closing process is only stopped. During this time it is not
possible to automatically close the window. The force limiter is still switched
on.
The force limiter is only not operational if you attempt to close the window
again within the next 10 seconds – the window will now close with full force!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again.

Transport of cargo
Luggage compartment and transporting objects
Introduction
When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to
the shift in centre-of-gravity. Therefore, adjust the speed and driving mode 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 fixing nets so that they cannot
slip.
▶
Place heavy objects as far forward in the luggage compartment 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 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 – risk of injury!
■
An unsecured dirt or improperly attached load could slip during a sudden
manoeuvre or in 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 .

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 88.
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 is to 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.
86
Operation
Page 89
Note
■
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. ice, snow or
leaves to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.
■
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air
conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a
leak!
■
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to
ensure that the engine cools down.
