ponents described in these operating instructions.
The level of equipment of your vehicle refers to your purchase contract of the
vehicle. More information is available from the ŠKODA Partner 1)

formation presented 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 Ve-
hicle Manual for your vehicle.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your device; they are only in-
tended for general information.

other 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 re-
pairs at a ŠKODA 1)
specialist garage.
