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). The ŠKODA Partner must insert this date into
the manufacturer's systems accordingly for your car identified by the Vehicle
Identification Number.
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.
ŠKODA warranty excludes parts that are subject to natural wear such as tyres,
spark plugs, wiper blades, brake pads and brake discs, clutch, bulbs, synchroniser rings, batteries etc. 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.
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.

Liability for defects and ŠKODA Warranty for new cars
Mobility warranty
The mobility warranty provides a sense of security when travelling in your vehicle.
As part of the mobility warranty, if your car breaks down as a result of an unexpected fault when you are on the move, you can access services to ensure
your continued mobility. These services include the following: Breakdown
service at the breakdown location and towing 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.) 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,

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.

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.

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 29, 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.

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 87.
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 264.
■
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.

Fig. 18 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. 17
- .
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. 17 - .
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. 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.

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 42.
System description
Fig. 20 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. 22
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
■
It is important for the driver and front passenger to maintain a minimum
distance of 25 cm from the steering wheel or the control panel » Fig. 22 -
A
, If you do not observe this distance, the airbag cannot protect you - risk
to life! 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. 22 - 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 260.
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 260.
■
