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 (hereinafter referred to as “ŠKODA warranty),” according to
the conditions 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 of body
sheets from the inside to the outside is included in the definition of rust perforation to bodywork and covered by the ŠKODA warranty.
The warranty starts on the date on which the original purchaser acquires the vehicle upon purchasing it from the ŠKODA Partner or the date of first registration.
Whichever event occurs first and is recorded by the ŠKODA Partner in the service
schedule accordingly is the one that applies.
Repairs may be carried out either by replacing the faulty part or by restoring 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.
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 was 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 service from the ŠKODA warranty is that all service work
has been carried out in a timely and adequate manner and in accordance with the
manufacturer's provisions. It must be proven that service work has been carried
out properly and in accordance with the manufacturer's 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 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 fault.
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 fault 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 on or in the vehicle, whose use has not been 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 that was not immediately seen to by a specialist garage
›
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 mate-
rials defect liability from the vehicle vendor and other potential claims from product liability laws.

Mobility warranty and ŠKODA extended warranty
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 when you are on the
move as a result of an unexpected fault, 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.
Note
The mobility warranty is only available for some countries.
Optional ŠKODA extended warranty
If you received a ŠKODA extended warranty when purchasing your new car, the
two-year ŠKODA warranty for damages to your ŠKODA vehicle will be extended to
your chosen duration or until the specified mileage limit has been reached, whichever occurs first.
The previously mentioned paint warranty and the warranty against rust perforation are 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 car.
Note
The mobility warranty and optional ŠKODA extended warranty are only available
for some countries.

The red scale of the revolution 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 highest 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.
Speedometer
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings on page 10.
Warning against excessive speeds

Coolant temperature gauge
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings on page 10.
The coolant temperature gauge » Fig. 3 only operates when the ignitions is
switched on.
Cold range
If the pointer is still in the left area of the scale, this 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 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.

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.

WARNING
■
The diesel particle filter achieves very high temperatures. Therefore do not
park in areas where the hot filter can come into direct contact with dry grass
or other combustible materials – there is the risk of fire!
■
Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic conditions. The recommendations indicated by the indicator light must not tempt
you to disregard the national regulations for road traffic.
CAUTION
■
As long as the indicator light lights up, one must take into account an in-
creased fuel consumption and in certain circumstances a power reduction of the
