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

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-

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.
