These operating instructions describe all possible equipment variants without
identifying them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent
equipment.
Consequently, this vehicle does not need to contain all of the equipment compo-
nents described in these operating instructions.
The level of equipment of your vehicle refers to your purchase contract of the ve-
hicle. More information is available from the ŠKODA 1)

Please note that these instructions are meant only as a supplement to the infor- mation in the Owner's Manual of your vehicle. Therefore, they can be used only in
conjunction with the latest manual for this vehicle. For a detailed description of
some functions listed in these instructions, see the Vehicle Manual for your vehi-
cle.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your unit; they are only intended
for general information.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Only use the unit in a way that leaves you in full control of your vehicle in

vehicle (for example, after a theft);
› impairment of components operated outside of the vehicle;
› the possibility of a legitimate installation or change of control units for repairs
at a ŠKODA 1)
