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.
The ŠKODA warranty is valid at any ŠKODA service partner.
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.).
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 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.
1)
Due to the requirements of generally binding country-specific regulations, the date of first registration can be specified instead of the date the vehicle handover.
6
Liability for defects and ŠKODA Warranty for new cars
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 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.

Accident data recorder (Event Data Recorder)

The vehicle is equipped with a device that serves as an accident data recorder (referred to solely as “EDR” from this point). The main purpose of the EDR is data recording during a traffic accident or other exceptional traffic conditions (referred to solely as “accident” from this point), where the restraint systems are activated.
The EDR records the accident in a short time (approximately 10 s), by showing the following information, for example:
The function of certain vehicle systems,
The driver and passenger seat belt status,
The actuation of the brake and accelerator pedal,
The speed of the vehicle at the time of the accident.
The recorded data helps with the analysis of how the vehicle systems were be­having shortly before, during and shortly after the accident, thereby ensuring better information regarding the circumstances under which the accident oc­curred, which lead to material damage and possibly to personal injury.
The data relating to assist systems in the vehicle is then also recorded. In addi­tion to the information on whether the affected systems were switched on or off at the relevant time, whether these were only partially available or were in­active, there is also the possibility of tracking whether these vehicle functions controlled, accelerated or braked the vehicle during the accident. Depending on the vehicle equipment, these functions may include, for example:
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Lane Assist
Park Assist
Parking aid
Emergency brake function (Front Assist)
EDR data is only recorded if an accident causes the restraint systems to be ac­tivated. Under normal driving conditions there is no data recording and there is no audio or video recording of the vehicle interior or the vehicle environment. Personal data such as name, gender, age or place where the accident occurred is also not stored in the EDR. However, third parties such as law enforcement authorities may use certain resources to connect EDR content to other data sources, and therefore deduce the identification of some of the people in­volved in the accident when investigating the causes of the accident.
Reading out the EDR requires special equipment with specific access authori­zation and a legally prescribed diagnostic connection in the vehicle “on-board diagnostics”), and the ignition will need to be switched on.
ŠKODA AUTO will not read or otherwise process any accident data from the EDRwithout the approval of the vehicle owner or other person authorised for use of the vehicle. Exceptions are specified in the contractual arrangements, or these are subject to generally binding regulations.
Due to the legal requirements, ŠKODA AUTO is required to monitor the quality and safety of its products, meaning that it is only entitled to use data from the EDR for monitoring the product on the market, for further research and devel­opment, and to improve the quality of the vehicle's safety systems. For the purpose of research and development, ŠKODA AUTO will also make data avail­able to third parties. This is done exclusively in anonymous form, i.e. without any connection to the specific vehicle, the vehicle owner or other authorised user.

About the Owner's Manual

Introductory information

General

Read this Owner's Manual carefully, because the operation in accordance with these instructions is a prerequisite for proper use of the vehicle.
When using the vehicle, the universally applicable country-specific legal re­quirements (e.g. for transporting children, deactivating the airbag, tyre use, road traffic etc.) must always be observed.
Always pay attention when driving! As the driver, you are fully responsible for road safety.
The Owner's Manual applies to all body variants of the vehicle, all related model versions as well as all equipment levels.
The Owner's Manual describes all possible equipment variants without identi­fying them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent equip­ment. Consequently, this vehicle does not contain all of the equipment com- ponents described in the Owner's Manual.
The level of equipment in your vehicle refers to your purchase contract for the vehicle. For any questions regarding the scope of equipment, please contact a ŠKODA Partner.
The pictures in the Owner's Manual are for illustrative purposes only. The illus­trations can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are only intended to provide general information.

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. If the web pages are displayed using the mobile view, they may not contain all necessary information.

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 29, 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 19, 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 (Continued)
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 84.
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 260.
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. Also check the seat belt anchors.
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.
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.

Safety
Correct routing of seat belt
Fig. 16
Routing of belt webbing over the shoulders and the lap
belt/Routing of belt webbing for an expectant mother
Fig. 17 Seat belt height adjusters for front seats
Read and observe on page 22 first.
It is important that the belt is properly routed to ensure seat belts offer the maximum protection.
The shoulder part of the belt must run approximately over the middle of your shoulder (never across your neck) and fit well against your upper body » Fig. 16
- . The lap part of the belt must run lap part of the belt must run in front of the
pelvis (must never run across your stomach) and must always fit snugly
» Fig. 16 - .
In the case of pregnant women, the lap part of the belt must be positioned as low as possible on 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 24, 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. specta­cles, ball-point pens, keys, etc.). Such objects can cause injury.
Fastening and unfastening seat belts

audibly clicks into place. Pull on the belt to check that it has engaged correctly in the lock.
Release
Hold the lock tongue and press the red button in the belt buckle » Fig. 18 - .
The lock tongue pops out.
Seat belts
23
Feed the belt back manually so that the seat belt is not twisted and the belt
webbing rolls up completely.
WARNING
The slot of the belt tongue must not be blocked, otherwise the belt tongue will not lock in place properly.

Inertia reel 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 the inertia reel inspected immediately by a specialist garage.
Belt tensioners
The safety for the driver, front passenger and passengers on the outer rear seats who are wearing their seat belts, is enhanced by the belt tensioners fit­ted to the inertia reels on the front and rear external seat belts.
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 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.
Reversible belt tensioners
As part of the proactive passenger protection system, reversible seat belts in­crease the safety of the belted up driver and front passenger.
In critical driving situations the seat belt is tensioned tightly over the body and then released again by the reversible belt tensioner.

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 41.
System description
Fig. 19 Installation locations of 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.
Driver's knee airbag - Legs. The airbag features the lettering  on the dashboard on the driver's side.
Side airbags - for the entire upper body (chest, stomach, pelvis) on the side next to the door. The side air bags can be identified by a label with the letter­ing  marked on the front seat backrests. The rear side airbags are provi­ded with the lettering  in between the entrance area and the rear seat backrest.
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.

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.
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.
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. 21
Safe distance from the steering wheel and the 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 19.
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 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.
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 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 27, 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.
26
Safety
WARNING (Continued)
No other persons, animals or objects may be positioned in front of the oc-
cupants 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 telephone 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 6 cm between the legs and the dashboard in the vicinity of the knee airbag » Fig. 21 - B. If it is not possible to meet this requirement due to your body size, visit a specialist garage.
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 256.
WARNING (Continued)
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
» page 256.
No modifications should be made to parts of the airbag system, to the front bumper or to the body.
Do not manipulate individual parts of the airbag system, as this might re­sult 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 28 - .
We recommend that you ask a ŠKODA service partner to deactivate any other airbags.
The airbag deactivation is displayed by the warning light » page 41.
Airbag system
27
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 29.
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 upon the sale of the vehicle, the buyer must be informed of this!
