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 (hereafter referred to as “ŠKODA warranty),” according to
the terms described later.
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 on the inside
and the outside of body sheets is included in the rust perforation to bodywork
definition and covered by the ŠKODA warranty.
The start of the warranty is the date on which the original purchaser acquires the vehicle upon purchasing it from the ŠKODA partner or the date of first registra-
tion. Whichever one occurs first and is recorded by the ŠKODA partner in the serv-
ice schedule accordingly is the one that applies.
Repairs may either occur by replacing the faulty part or by restoring it. Replacedparts become the property of the ŠKODA service partner.
There are no other entitlements arising from the ŠKODA warranty. In particular,
there are no entitlements 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 theEuropean 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 has been purchased from a ŠKODA partner outside the Eu-
ropean Economic Area and Switzerland, claims arising from the ŠKODA warranty
must also be made through a ŠKODA service partner outside the European Eco-
nomic Area and Switzerland.
One of the conditions of a service from the ŠKODA guarantee is that you have carried out all service works in a timely and adequate manner and in accordance
with the manufacturer's provisions. You must prove that service works have been
carried out properly and in accordance with the manufacturer's provisions when
raising a claim from the ŠKODA warranty. In case of a missed service or in case of
a 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 provi-
sions was not the cause of the defect.
Natural wear and tear of your vehicle is not covered by the ŠKODA warranty. The
ŠKODA warranty also does not cover defects to bodywork, installations and con-
versions provided by third-parties, nor vehicle defects caused by these. The same
goes for accessories which are not factory installed and/or delivered.
In addition, this warranty does not apply if the defect was caused by one of the
following:
› 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 or installed on the vehicle, whose use is not 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 which was not immediately seen to by specialist garage
or was not fixed properly.
It is the customer's responsibility to prove that it was not the cause.
This ŠKODA guarantee does not affect the purchaser's statutory rights arising
from liability to defects from the vehicle vendor and other potential claims from
product liability laws.

Mobility warranty and ŠKODA extendedwarranty
Mobility warranty
Mobility warranty provides a sense of security when travelling in your vehicle.
Should your car break down when you're on the move one day as a result of an
unexpected fault, you will be eligible for services to ensure your continued mobili-
ty as part of the mobility warranty, which includes the following: Breakdown serv-ice at the breakdown location and towing off to the ŠKODA service partner, tech-
nical assistance by phone or on-site operation.
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.), a courtesy vehicle, etc.
You can obtain more information regarding terms and conditions for the provision of mobility warranty for your vehicle from your ŠKODA partner. Here you will also
be given detailed terms and conditions for the mobility warranty with respect to
your vehicle. In the event that there is no mobility warranty coverage available for
your vehicle, you should check with any ŠKODA service partner about the possibil-
ity of a subsequent agreement.
Note
The mobility warranty is only available for some countries.
Optional ŠKODA extended warranty
If you received an extended ŠKODA warranty when purchasing your new car, the
two-year ŠKODA warranty for damages to your ŠKODA vehicle will be extended
by the time you chose or until the chosen mileage limit has been reached.
The previously mentioned paint warranty and the warranty against rust perfora-
tion stay unaffected by the extended warranty.
Detailed conditions for the extended warranty are included in the extended war- ranty terms and conditions, which your ŠKODA partner will have given to you
upon purchasing your new vehicle.
Note
The mobility guarantee and optional extended warranty ŠKODA are only available
for some countries.

The top lid position is adjusted, for example, in the following situations.
› When the space for opening the lid is limited (e.g. garage height).
› For a more convenient operation, such as by a person's height.
The top position which is reached when the lid opens automatically, is always
lower than the maximum top position which can be reached when the lid is
opened manually.
The lid always opens to the height which was last stored.
Malfunctions
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 41.
If the battery is disconnected and reconnected while the lid is open, it is necessa-
ry to activate the system of the electric boot lid. Activation means closing the lid
by hand. Thus, the end position of the lid is stored under fully closed in secured lock.

Operational faults
46
The power windows operate only when ignition is switched on.
After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows for
approx. 10 minutes. The power windows are only switched off completely once
the driver or front passenger door are opened.
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 46. 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. 25 on page 45 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 200 , Windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the electri-
cal power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical power win-
dow 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 46.
■
Make sure that the windows are closed whenever you leave the locked vehicle.

screen, so that its functionality is not impaired or disabled.
Adaptive headlights (AFS)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 51.
The AFS system makes sure the street remains lit up depending on the traffic and weather situation.
The system automatically adjusts the cone of light in front of the vehicle to the driving speed or the use of the wiper.
The AFS system works in tandem with automatic driving lamp control
, please
read the following » page 53.
The AFS system can work only if the following condition is met. The light switch is in the position
.
The AHL system operates in the following modes.
Out of town mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is similar to the low beam. The mode is
active if none of the following modes are active.
City mode
The light cone in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that this and the adjacent
sidewalks, intersections, pedestrian crossings, etc. are illuminated. The mode is
active at speeds of 15-50 km / h.
Motorway mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can respond in time to an obstruction or other hazard in time. The mode is activated gradually
from a speed of 90 km/h. It is most effective at speeds above 120 km/h.
Rain mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can reduce
the glare from oncoming vehicles in rain.
The mode is active at speeds of 15 – 70 km/h and if the windscreen wipers contin-
uously operate for a period of time longer than 2 minutes. The mode is deactiva-
ted when the windscreen wipers are switched off for longer than 8 minutes.
Dynamic cornering lights
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted to the steering angle so that the road in the curve is illuminated. This function is active at speeds greater than
10 km.h and in all AFS modes.
Tourist lights (Travel mode)
This mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system (driving on the left/right) without dazzling the oncoming vehicles.
When this mode is active, the above-mentioned modes and the side swivel of the
headlights is deactivated.
This mode can be enabled or disabled via the Maxi DOT display in the Travel
mode » page 29 menu option.WARNINGIf the AFS system is defective, the headlights are automatically lowered to the
emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming traffic.
This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Drive carefully and visit a
specialist garage as soon as possible.
