materials defect liability and ŠKODA warranty for new
cars
Materials defect liability
Your ŠKODA Partner, as a vendor, is liable to you for material damage to your
new ŠKODA car, ŠKODA Genuine Parts or ŠKODA Genuine Accessories in ac-
cordance with statutory regulations and the purchase agreement.
ŠKODA warranty for new cars
As well as the materials defect liability, ŠKODA AUTO grants you the ŠKODA
warranty for new cars (hereinafter referred to as “ŠKODA warranty),” according
to the conditions described below.
As part of the ŠKODA warranty, ŠKODA AUTO will provide the following serv-
ices. ▶ Free repair of faulty components or vehicle defects that occur within two
years from the start of the ŠKODA warranty.
▶ Free repair of paintwork defects on your vehicle that occur within three years
from the start of the ŠKODA warranty.
▶ Free repair of corrosion caused by rust on the bodywork of your vehicle that
occurs within twelve years from the start of the warranty. Only corrosion of
body panels from the inside to the outside is included in the definition of cor-
rosion caused by rust on the bodywork and covered by the ŠKODA warranty.
The start of warranty is the date on which the new car is handed over to the
initial purchaser by the ŠKODA Partner 1)
. This date must be noted down by the
ŠKODA Partner in the Owner's Manual for your vehicle » in the section on the
documentation of the vehicle handover .
Vehicle repairs may be carried out either by replacing the faulty part or by re- pairing it. Replaced parts become the property of the ŠKODA Service Partner.
There shall be no further claims arising from the ŠKODA warranty. In particular,
there shall be no claims for replacement, cancellation, provision of a courtesy
vehicle for the duration of repairs or compensation for damages.If your ŠKODA vehicle was purchased from a ŠKODA Partner in a country of the
European Economic Area (i.e. the countries of the European Union, Norway,
Iceland and Liechtenstein) or in Switzerland, claims arising from the ŠKODA
warranty must also be made through a ŠKODA Service Partner in one of these
countries.
If your ŠKODA vehicle was purchased from a ŠKODA Partner outside the Euro-
pean Economic Area and Switzerland, claims arising from the ŠKODA warranty
must also be made through a ŠKODA Service Partner outside the European
Economic Area and Switzerland.
A prerequisite for carrying out work under the ŠKODA warranty is that all serv-
ice work has been carried out in a timely and technically correct manner and in
accordance with the ŠKODA AUTO's provisions. It must be proven that service
work has been carried out properly and in accordance with the ŠKODA AUTO's provisions when making a claim on the ŠKODA warranty. In the event of a
missed service or failure to carry out a service according to the ŠKODA AUTO's
provisions, you may still be entitled to warranty claims as long as you can
prove that the missed service or the failure to carry out a service according to
the ŠKODA AUTO's provisions was not the cause of the defect.
Natural wear and tear to your vehicle is not covered by the ŠKODA warranty.
The ŠKODA warranty also does not cover faults to bodywork, installations or
conversions provided by third parties, or vehicle faults caused as a result. The
same applies to accessories that were not installed and/or delivered ex-facto-
ry.
In addition, this warranty does not apply if the defect was caused by one of
the following.
▶ Unauthorised use, improper handling (e.g. use in racing competitions or over-
loading), improper care and maintenance or unauthorised modifications to
your vehicle.
▶ Non-compliance with instructions in the Owner's Manual or other factory-
supplied instructions.
▶ External causes or influences (e.g. accidents, hail, flooding etc.). 1)
Due to the requirements of the generally binding country-specific regula-
tions, the date of first registration can be given instead of the date of the
vehicle handover.
4materials defect liability and ŠKODA warranty for new cars

▶Parts fitted on or in the vehicle, whose use has not been approved by ŠKODA
AUTO, or modification of the vehicle in a manner not approved by ŠKODA
AUTO (e.g. tuning).
▶ Damage caused by you that was not immediately seen to by a specialist ga-
rage or was not rectified properly.
It is the customer's responsibility to prove that s/he is not the cause of the
damage.
This ŠKODA warranty does not affect the purchaser's statutory rights from ma-
terials defect liability from the vehicle vendor and other potential claims from
product liability laws.
Mobility warranty
The mobility warranty provides a sense of security when travelling in your ve-
hicle.
If your vehicle ever breaks down on the road due to an unexpected failure,
services to keep you moving can be provided for you under the mobility guar-
antee, which include the following services: Breakdown at the roadside and
towing to ŠKODA service partners, technical assistance on the phone or on-
site commissioning.
If your vehicle is not repaired on the same day, the ŠKODA Service Partner may
provide further services as required, such as replacement transportation (bus,
train etc.) or a courtesy vehicle etc.
More information regarding terms and conditions for the provision of a mobility
warranty for your vehicle can be obtained from your ŠKODA Partner. They will
also provide you with detailed terms and conditions for the mobility warranty
with respect to your vehicle. In the event that there is no mobility warranty
coverage in place for your vehicle, you should check with any ŠKODA Service
Partner about the possibility of a supplementary agreement.
Optional ŠKODA Extended warranty
If you opted for a ŠKODA extended warranty when purchasing your new car,
the two-year ŠKODA warranty with regards to all free warranty repairs is ex-
tended by the period you chose or until the chosen mileage limit has been
reached, whichever occurs first.
The paint warranty and the warranty against corrosion described above are
unaffected by the ŠKODA extended warranty.
The ŠKODA extended warranty does not apply to external and internal foils.
The information on the detailed conditions of the ŠKODA extended warranty is
provided by your ŠKODA partner.NoteThe ŠKODA extended warranty is only available in some countries.5materials defect liability and ŠKODA warranty for new cars

WARNINGInformation about for side and head airbags■No objects (e.g. sun visors turned towards the windows) should be loca-
ted in the deployment area of the side and head airbags. No accessories
(e.g. cup holders etc.) should be fitted to the doors - There is a risk of an
injury!■
Hang only light clothing on the hooks in the vehicle, do not leave any
heavy or sharp objects in the pockets. Do not use hangers to hang up the
clothes.
■
The 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). Additional infor-
mation » page 132 .
■
No excessive force, e.g. through blows, kicks etc. should be applied to the
seat backrests - there is a risk of damage to the side airbags. The side air-
bags would not be deployed in such a case!
■
Any seat or protective covers which you fit to the driver or front passen-
ger seats must only be of a type expressly authorised by ŠKODA AUTO. In
view of the fact that the airbag inflates out of the backrest of the seat, use
of non-approved seat or protective covers would considerably impair the
protective function of the side airbag.
■
Any damage to the original seat covers or stitching at the installation
points for the side airbags should be immediately repaired by a specialist
company.
WARNINGInformation on the use of the airbag system■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. Additional informa-
tion » page 132 .■
No changes of any sort should be made to parts of the airbag system, the
front bumper or the bodywork.
■
Do not manipulate individual parts of the airbag system, as this might re-
sult in the airbag being deployed.

We recommend that you ask a ŠKODA service partner to deactivate any other
airbags.
An indicator light indicates that the airbag has been  deactivated
» page 36.
Deactivating an airbag should be considered in cases such as the ones below. ▶ If a child seat must be used on the front passenger seat, where the child is
transported facing towards the rear » page 21.
▶ If it is not possible to maintain a distance of at least 25 cm between the mid-
dle of the steering wheel and chest, despite the driver's seat being correctly
adjusted.
▶ If special attachments are required in the area of the steering wheel because
of a physical disability.
▶ If different seats have been fitted (e.g. orthopaedic seats without side air-
bags).
WARNINGIf an airbag is deactivated at the time of the vehicle being sold, the pur-
chaser must be informed!19Airbag system
