Materials defect liability 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 (hereafter referred to as “ŠKODA warranty),” according to
the terms described later.
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 on the inside
and the outside of body sheets is included in the rust perforation to bodywork
definition and 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 one occurs first and is recorded by the ŠKODA partner in the service schedule accordingly is the one that applies.
Repairs may either occur by replacing the faulty part or by restoring it. 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 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 of 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 of a service from the ŠKODA guarantee is that you have
carried out all service works in a timely and adequate manner and in accordance
with the manufacturer's provisions. You must prove that service works have been
carried out properly and in accordance with the manufacturer's provisions when
raising a claim from the ŠKODA warranty. In case of a missed service or in case of
a failure to carry out a service 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
goes for accessories which 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 over-
›
loading), improper care and maintenance, or unapproved modification to your
vehicle;
Non-compliance with provisions in the service schedule and the Owner's man-
›
ual or other factory-supplied instructions;
External causes or influences (e.g. accidents, hail, flooding, etc.);
›
parts fitted or installed on the vehicle, whose use 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 guarantee does not affect the purchaser's statutory rights arising
from liability to defects from the vehicle vendor and other potential claims from
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 off to the ŠKODA service partner, technical assistance by phone or on-site operation.
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 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.
Note
The mobility warranty is only available for some countries.
Optional ŠKODA extended warranty
If you received an extended ŠKODA warranty when purchasing your new car, the
two-year ŠKODA warranty for damages to your ŠKODA vehicle will be extended
by the time you chose or until the chosen mileage limit has been reached.
The previously mentioned paint warranty and the warranty against rust perforation 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 to you
upon purchasing your new vehicle.
Note
The mobility guarantee and optional extended warranty ŠKODA are only available
for some countries.

Engine revolutions counter
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings on page 10.
The red scale of the rev counter 1 » Fig. 2 on page 10 indicates the range in
which the system begins to limit the engine speed. The system automatically restricts the engine speed to a steady limit.
You should shift into the next higher gear before the red scale of the revolution
counter is reached, or select mode D on the automatic gearbox.
Follow the recommended gear to prevent engine speeds that are too high or too
low » page 24.
For the sake of the environment
Correct shifting up has the following advantages.
■
It helps to reduce fuel consumption.
■
It reduces the operating noise.
■
It protects the environment.
■
It benefits the durability and reliability of the engine.
Speedometer
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings on page 10.
Warning against excessive speeds
An audible warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h1).
The audible warning signal is switched off when the vehicle speed falls below
120 km/h.
Coolant temperature gauge display
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings on page 10.
The coolant temperate display » Fig. 3 only operates when the ignition is switched on.
Cold range
If the pointer is still in the left area of the scale it means 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 mid-range of the scale. At very high ambient temperatures or heavy engine loads, the pointer may move even further to the right.
High temperature range
If the pointer reaches the red area of the scale, the coolant temperature is too
high. Further information » page 16.

ment cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking » page 20 .
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the engine
and the exhaust system.
Note
After filling up, it can occur that during dynamic driving (e.g. numerous curves,
braking, driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indicates approx. a fraction less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the fuel gauge
displays the correct fuel level again. This is not a fault.
