The instructions and guidelines from ŠKODA AUTO must be observed when

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 256 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 256 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.

tions to your vehicle carried out by a ŠKODA Service Partner.

Spoiler
Read and observe
on page 256 first.
WARNINGIf your vehicle is equipped with an original spoiler on the front bumper in
combination with the spoiler on the boot lid, the following instructions
must be observed - otherwise there is a risk of accidents and serious inju-
ries!■
The vehicle must always be equipped with a spoiler on the front bumper
only in combination with the corresponding spoiler on the boot lid.
■
This kind of spoiler cannot be left on the front bumper either on its own,
in combination with another spoiler not on the luggage compartment lid or
in combination with an unsuitable spoiler on the luggage compartment lid.
■
We recommend that you consult the ŠKODA Service Partner for any re-
pairs to or replacement, addition or removal of spoilers.
■
Improperly conducted work on the spoilers of your vehicle may result in
malfunction.
Component protection
Read and observe
on page 256 first.
Some electronic vehicle components (such as the instrument cluster) are fac-
tory-equipped with component protection. This ensures the functional limita-
tion of these components in a non-legitimate installation in another vehicle
(e.g. after a theft) or operation outside the vehicle.
Airbags
Read and observe
on page 256 first.
WARNING■Modifications, repairs and technical alterations that have been carried out
unprofessionally can cause damage and operational faults, and can also se-
riously impair the effectiveness of the airbag system – risk of accident and
fatal injury!■
A change to the vehicle's wheel suspension, including the use of non-ap-
proved wheels and tyre combinations, can alter the functioning of the air-
bag system - risk of accident and fatal injury! 
257Care and 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 256 first.
All new ŠKODA vehicles are 95% recyclable.

Digital Service Plan

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.
