The instructions and guidelines from ŠKODA AUTO must be observed when
carrying out any modifications, repairs or technical alterations to your vehicle.
Adhering to these instructions and guidelines helps ensure road safety and
helps keep your vehicle in a good technical condition.
WARNING■ Adjustments, repairs and technical changes to the vehicle are to be car-
ried out only by a specialist garage. Improperly conducted work (including
work on the electronic components and their software) can cause faults -
there is a risk of accidents and increased wear on parts!■
We advise you only to use ŠKODA Original Accessories and ŠKODA Origi-
nal Parts which have been expressly approved for use on your vehicle. Reli-
ability, safety and suitability for your vehicle are guaranteed with these.
■
ŠKODA AUTO cannot assume any liability for products which have not
been approved by ŠKODA even though these may be products with a type
approval or have been approved by a nationally recognised testing labora-
tory.
Vehicle operating under different weather conditions
Read and observe
on page 266 first.
If you would like to operate your vehicle in countries other than those with itsintended weather conditions, you should contact a ŠKODA Partner. They will
advise you if certain precautions need to be taken to ensure the full function-
ing of the vehicle or to prevent damage (e.g. coolant / battery replacement
etc.).
Statutory checks
Read and observe
on page 266 first.
Many countries have legislation requiring the operational reliability and road-worthiness and/or exhaust gas properties of a vehicle to be tested at specific
intervals. These tests can be carried out by workshops or testing stations that
have been legally authorized for this purpose.
Upon request, the ŠKODA Service Partners can prepare the vehicle for the
tests or have this carried out.
Even if you want to take your vehicle to an officially approved test centre for
prior checking in preparation for a legally required test, we recommend that
you consult the service consultant of your ŠKODA Service Partner beforehand.
ŠKODA Service Partner
Read and observe
on page 266 first.
All ŠKODA Service Partners operate according to the most recent guidelinesand instructions from ŠKODA AUTO . All service and repair work is therefore
carried out on time and at the appropriate quality. Adhering to these instruc-
tions and guidelines helps ensure road safety and helps keep your vehicle in a
good technical condition.
We therefore advise you to have all modifications, repairs and technical altera-
tions to your vehicle carried out by a ŠKODA Service Partner.
266General Maintenance

WARNING■No changes may be made to parts of the airbag system, the front bumper
and the body.■
Any work on the airbag system including the installation and removal of
system components due to other repair work (e.g. removal of the steering
wheel) must only be carried out by a specialist garage.
■
Do not manipulate individual parts of the airbag system, as this might re-
sult in the airbag being deployed.
■
If the airbag is triggered, the airbag system must be exchanged.
WARNINGThe 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). The resulting
damage can negatively affect the function of the airbag system - there is a
risk of accidents and fatal injuries! The following guidelines must be ob-
served.■
Any work on the front doors and their door panels must be carried out by
a specialist garage.
■
Never drive with removed inner door panels or openings in the panels.
Acceptance and recycling of used vehicles
Read and observe
on page 266 first.

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Overview of service intervals

Fixed service intervals QI1 - QI4
269
Flexible service interval QI6
269
Digital Service Plan
270
The service interval display in the display of the instrument cluster will remind
you to carry out every service stipulated by the manufacturer at the right time
in order to prevent you from forgetting them » page 49.
The completion of services can be verified through the printed verification
from the digital service schedule and the respective receipts.
The specified service intervals are tailored to normal operating conditions.
In the case of difficult operating conditions, it is necessary to have some serv-
ice work performed before the date of the next service or between the speci-
fied service intervals. This applies mainly to the cleaning or the replacement of
the air filter insert in regions with heavy dust pollution as well as checking and
replacing the toothed belt, but also to vehicles with diesel particle filters,
which can put greater strain on the engine oil.
The following is understood under difficult conditions:
▶ Fuel containing sulphur.
▶ Frequent short trips.
▶ Longer periods of engine idling (e.g. taxis).
▶ Operation in areas with heavy dust pollution.
▶ Frequent trailer operation.
▶ Predominantly stop-and-go traffic as is often the case in city driving, for ex-
ample.
▶ Operation predominantly during winter.
You will be told at the specialist garage whether the operating conditions of your vehicle may make it necessary for service work to be carried out between
the normal service intervals.
Different service charges may apply from the particular scope of work required,
depending on the vehicle type and equipment and the status of your vehicle.
Note
■ The customer is responsible for covering the cost of all services including
changing or replenishing the oil, even during the warranty period, unless sta-
ted otherwise in the ŠKODA AUTO. warranty terms or other agreements.■
You will be informed about the current service scopes for the particular serv-
ice work by the specialist garage.

Coolant
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Checking and refilling
282
The coolant cools the engine and consists of water and coolant additive (with
additives that protect the cooling system against corrosion and prevents fur-
ring).
The coolant additive level in the coolant must between 40 and 60 %.
The correct mixing ratio of water and coolant additive should be checked if
necessary by a specialist garage or corrected if necessary.
WARNING■ The following warning instructions must be followed at all times when
working in the engine compartment » page 278.■
Never open the end cover of the coolant expansion reservoir while the
engine is still warm. The cooling system is pressurized - risk of scalding or
injury from being splashed with coolant!
■
To protect against coolant splashes, cover the cap with a cloth when
opening.
■
Coolant and coolant fumes are harmful - avoid contact with the coolant. If
your eyes or skin come into contact with the coolant, immediately wash the
affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water and seek medical
advice if required. 
