Introduction
The instructions and guidelines from ŠKODA AUTO must be observed when
carrying out any modifications, repairs or technical alterations to your vehicle.
Adhering to these instructions and guidelines helps ensure road safety and
helps keep your vehicle in a good technical condition.
WARNING
Adjustments, repairs and technical changes to the vehicle are to be car-
■
ried out only by a specialist garage. Improperly conducted work (including
work on the electronic components and their software) can cause faults -
there is a risk of accidents and increased wear on parts!
We advise you only to use ŠKODA Original Accessories and ŠKODA Orig-
■
inal Parts which have been expressly approved for use on your vehicle. Reli-
ability, safety and suitability for your vehicle are guaranteed with these.
ŠKODA AUTO cannot assume any liability for products which have not
■
been approved by ŠKODA even though these may be products with a type
approval or have been approved by a nationally recognised testing labora-
tory.
Vehicle operating under different weather conditions

Read and observe on page 260 first.
If you would like to operate your vehicle in countries other than those with the
intended weather conditions, you should contact a ŠKODA partner. They will
advise you if certain precautions need to be taken to ensure the full function-
ing of the vehicle or to prevent damage (e.g. coolant / battery replacement
etc.).

Statutory checks

Read and observe on page 260 first.
Many countries have legislation requiring the operational reliability and road-
worthiness and/or exhaust gas properties of a vehicle to be tested at specific
intervals. These tests can be carried out by workshops or testing stations that
have been legally authorized for this purpose.
Upon request, the ŠKODA Service Partners can prepare the vehicle for the
tests or have this carried out.
Even if you want to take your vehicle to an officially approved test centre for
prior checking in preparation for a legally required test, we recommend that
you consult the service consultant of your ŠKODA Service Partner before-
hand.
