Materials defect liability and ŠKODA warranty for new cars

Materials defect liability
Your ŠKODA partner, as a vendor, is liable to you for defects in 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 (hereafter referred to as “ŠKODA warranty),” according to the terms described below.
As part of the ŠKODA warranty, ŠKODA AUTO a.s. will guarantee the following services:
Repair of damage to your vehicle that occurs within two years from the start of
the ŠKODA warranty; Repair of paint damage to your vehicle that occurs within three years from the
start of the ŠKODA warranty; Repair of rust perforation to the bodywork of your vehicle that occurs within
twelve years from the start of the warranty. Only rust perforation from the in­side to the outside of body panels is considered to be rust perforation of the bodywork and is covered by the ŠKODA warranty.
The start of the warranty is the date on which the original purchaser acquires the vehicle upon purchasing it from the ŠKODA partner or the date of first registra­tion. Whichever occurs first and is accordingly recorded by the ŠKODA partner in the service schedule is the applicable date.
Defects may be remedied by replacement or repair of the defective part. Replaced parts become the property of the ŠKODA service partner.
There are no other entitlements arising from the ŠKODA warranty. In particular, there are no entitlements to replacement, cancellation, provision of a courtesy vehicle for the duration of repairs or compensation for loss.
If your ŠKODA vehicle was purchased from a ŠKODA partner in a country within 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 has been 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 the assertion of the ŠKODA warranty is that all service operations have been carried out works in a timely and adequate manner and in accordance with the manufacturer's provisions. You must prove that service oper­ations have been carried out properly and in accordance with the manufacturer's provisions when asserting a claim under the ŠKODA warranty. Where a service has been missed or not carried out according to the manufacturer'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 manufactur­er's provisions was not the cause of the defect.
Natural wear and tear of your vehicle is not covered by the ŠKODA warranty. The ŠKODA warranty also does not cover defects to bodywork, installations and con­versions provided by third-parties, nor vehicle defects caused by these. The same is true for accessories which are not factory installed and/or supplied.
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 motorsport competitions or
overloading), improper care and maintenance, or unapproved modification to your vehicle; non-compliance with provisions in the service schedule and the Owner's manual
or other factory-supplied instructions; external causes or influences (e.g. accidents, hail, flooding, etc.);
parts fitted or installed on the vehicle the use of which is not approved by
ŠKODA AUTO a.s., or modification of the vehicle in a manner not approved by ŠKODA AUTO a.s. (e.g. tuning); damage caused by you which was not immediately seen to by specialist garage
or was not fixed 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 arising from
liability for defects by the vehicle vendor and other potential claims under product liability laws.

Mobility warranty and ŠKODA extended warranty

Mobility warranty
Mobility warranty provides a sense of security when travelling in your vehicle. Should your car break down when you're on the move one day as a result of an
unexpected fault, you will be eligible for services to ensure your continued mobili­ty as part of the mobility warranty, which includes the following: Breakdown serv­ice at the breakdown location and towing to the ŠKODA service partner, technical assistance by phone or in person.
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.), a courtesy vehicle, etc.
You can obtain more information regarding terms and conditions for the provision of mobility warranty for your vehicle from your ŠKODA partner. Here you will also be given detailed terms and conditions of the mobility warranty as it relates 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 concluding a contract retrospectively.
Note
The mobility warranty is only available in some countries.
Optional ŠKODA extended warranty
If you received an extended ŠKODA warranty when purchasing your new car, the two-year ŠKODA warranty for defects in your ŠKODA vehicle will be extended by the period you chose or until the chosen mileage limit has been reached.
The paintwork warranty and the warranty against rust perforation referred to above stay unaffected by the extended warranty.
Detailed conditions for the extended warranty are included in the extended war­ranty terms and conditions, which your ŠKODA partner will have given you when you purchased your new vehicle.
Note
The mobility guarantee and optional extended ŠKODA warranty are only available in some countries.

Cold range
The pointer in the left of the scale indicates that the engine has not yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid high speeds, full throttle and high engine loads. This prevents possible damage to the engine.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer moves into the middle of the scale. At very high ambient temperatures or under heavy engine loads, the pointer may move even further to the right.
High temperature range
The coolant temperature is too high if the pointer reaches the red area of the scale. Further information » page 22.
CAUTION
Additional headlights and other components mounted in front of the air inlet im­pair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.
Fuel gauge
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn­ings on page 10.

The multifunction display is equipped with two automatic memories. The selected memory is shown in the Display » Fig. 4.
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the dis­play. A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total distance mem­ory (memory 2).
Switch memories using button stalk.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ig­nition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the cal­culation of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours after switching off the ignition. If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours, the memory is automatically erased.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total trip memory collates the data from any number of individual trips up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 1999 km or, for vehicles with a MAXI DOT display, 99 hours and 59 minutes, or 9999 km. The memory is deleted when ei­ther of these limits is reached and the calculation starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
