hicle. More information is available from the ŠKODA 1)

› impairment of factory- or garage-fitted control units after installation in another
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)

unit display Component theft protection: the infotainment system is not fully
available at present. Please switch on the ignition.
