The instructions and guidelines issued by ŠKODA AUTO a.s. must be observed
when making any modifications, repairs or technical changes to your vehicle.
Compliance with these guidelines and instructions is in the interest of the
roadworthiness and technical condition of your vehicle. The vehicle will comply
with road traffic regulations following the modifications, repairs and technical
changes.
Always consult a ŠKODA Partner before buying accessories or parts, or before

WARNING■ Work not properly performed on your vehicle can lead to faults - there is a
risk of an accident resulting in serious injury.■
We recommend only having these modifications and technical changes
performed by a specialist garage.
■
Interference on the electronic components and their software can lead to
operational faults. This interference can also impair not directly affected
systems because of the networking of the electronic components. The op-
erational safety of the vehicle may be at significant risk and parts may suf-
fer increased wear.

The ŠKODA Partner cannot assume any liability for products which have
not been approved by ŠKODA AUTO a.s. even though these may be prod-
ucts with a type approval or have been approved by a nationally recognised
testing laboratory.
WARNING■ 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 Original Accessories and ŠKODA Original Parts can be purchased
from a ŠKODA Partner who will also fit the purchased parts correctly.
For the sake of the environment

kept by the vehicle user, in order to be handed over to the recyclers later. This
ensures that vehicle recycling is in accordance with environmental regulations.

manufacturer is excluded from the » Service schedule warranty.
