Materials defect liability and ŠKODAwarranty 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 accordance
with statutory regulations and the purchase agreement.
ŠKODA warranty for new cars
As well as the materials defect liability, ŠKODA AUTO a.s. 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 a.s. will guarantee the following
services:
› Repair of damage to your vehicle that occurs within two years from the start of
the ŠKODA warranty;
› Repair of paint damage to your vehicle that occurs within three years from the
start of the ŠKODA warranty;
› Repair of rust perforation to the bodywork of your vehicle that occurs within
twelve years from the start of the warranty. Only rust perforation of body
sheets from the inside to the outside is included in the definition of rust perfo-
ration to bodywork and covered by the ŠKODA warranty.
The warranty starts on the date on which the original purchaser acquires the ve- hicle upon purchasing it from the ŠKODA Partner or the date of first registration.
Whichever event occurs first and is recorded by the ŠKODA Partner in the service
schedule accordingly is the one that applies.
Repairs may be carried out either by replacing the faulty part or by restoring 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 ve-
hicle 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, Ice-
land 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 European Economic Area and Switzerland, claims arising from the ŠKODA warranty must al-
so be made through a ŠKODA Service Partner outside the European EconomicArea and Switzerland.
One of the conditions for service from the ŠKODA warranty is that all service work has been carried out in a timely and adequate manner and in accordance with the
manufacturer's provisions. It must be proven that service work has been carried
out properly and in accordance with the manufacturer's provisions when raising a
claim from the ŠKODA warranty. In the event of a missed service or failure to carry
out a service according to the manufacturer'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 manufacturer's provisions was not the
cause of the fault.
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 conver-
sions provided by third-parties, or vehicle faults caused as a result. The same ap-
plies to accessories that are not factory installed and/or delivered.
In addition, this warranty does not apply if the fault was caused by one of the fol-lowing:
› Unauthorized use, improper handling (e.g. use in racing competitions or over-
loading), improper care and maintenance or unapproved modification to your
vehicle;
› Non-compliance with provisions in the service schedule and the Owner's Man-
ual or other factory-supplied instructions;
› External causes or influences (e.g. accidents, hail, flooding etc.);
› Parts fitted on or in the vehicle, whose use has not been approved by ŠKODA
AUTO a.s., or modification of the vehicle in a manner not approved by ŠKODA
AUTO a.s. (e.g. tuning);
› Damage caused by you that was not immediately seen to by a specialist garage
or was not rectified properly.
It is the customer's responsibility to prove that it was not the cause.
This ŠKODA warranty does not affect the purchaser's statutory rights from mate- rials defect liability from the vehicle vendor and other potential claims from prod-
uct liability laws.

Multi-function display - Display example of the memory
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 25.
The multifunction display is equipped with two automatic memories, 1 and 2. The
selected memory is shown in the Display » Fig. 9.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ig- nition is switched on until it is switched off.
New data will also flow into the calculation of the current driving information if
the trip is continued within 2 hours after switching off the ignition.
If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours, the memory is automatically
erased.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total trip memory collates the data from any number of individual trips up to
a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or a 1999 km distance or, for vehicles with a
MAXI DOT display, 99 hours and 59 minutes, or a 9999 km distance.
The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calculation
starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.

When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are opened, dust
as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the wind noise is
more at certain speeds.WARNING■ Ensure that no persons are still left in the vehicle when locking the vehicle.
In an emergency, the windows will no longer be able to be opened from the
inside.■
The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 43. If there is an obstacle,
the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centi-
metres. However, the windows should be closed carefully – risk of injury.
■
It is recommended to deactivate the electrically operated power windows in
the rear doors (safety pushbutton)
S
» Fig. 21 on page 42 when children are
being transported on the rear seats.
CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric win-
dows.■
In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the
ice » page 191 , Windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the electrical
power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical power window mechanism could be damaged.
■
In the winter, ice accumulating on the surface of the window may cause there
to be more resistance when closing the window. The window will stop and move back several centimetres.
■
It is necessary to deactivate the force limiter to close the window » page 43.
■
Make sure that the windows are closed whenever you leave the locked vehicle.
For the sake of the environment
At high speeds, you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily
high fuel consumption.
Note
The window lift system is equipped with protection against overheating. Repea-
ted opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to overheat. If
this happens, it will not be possible to operate the window for a short time. You
will be able to operate the window again as soon as the overheating protection
has cooled down.

Unless otherwise stated, the lights only work when the ignition is switched on.
On models fitted with right-hand steering, the position of some of the controls
differs from that shown in » Fig. 25 on page 47. The symbols which mark the po-
sitions of the controls are identical.
Keep the headlights lenses clean. The following guidelines must be ob-
served » page 191 , Headlight lenses .
WARNING■
The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with
national legal requirements.■
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
lights.
WARNING (Continued)■ The automatic driving lamp control only operates as a support and does
not release the driver from his responsibility to check the light and, if necessa-
ry, to switch on the light depending on the given light conditions. The light
sensor cannot, for example, detect rain or snow. Under these conditions we
recommend switching on the low beam or fog lights!■
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other
oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is dark or
if visibility is poor.
Note
■ The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the headlight lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. This mist has noinfluence on the life of the lighting system.■
If there is a fault in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically.
