Read and observe on page 265 first.
WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with an original spoiler on the front bumper in
combination with the spoiler on the boot lid, the following instructions
must be observed - otherwise there is a risk of accidents and serious inju-
ries!
The vehicle must always be equipped with a spoiler on the front bumper
■
only in combination with the corresponding spoiler on the boot lid.
This kind of spoiler cannot be left on the front bumper either on its own,
■
in combination with another spoiler not on the luggage compartment lid or
in combination with an unsuitable spoiler on the luggage compartment lid.
We recommend that you consult the ŠKODA Service Partner for any re-
■
pairs to or replacement, addition or removal of spoilers.
Improperly conducted work on the spoilers of your vehicle may result in
■
malfunction.

General Maintenance
Component protection

Read and observe on page 265 first.
Some electronic vehicle components (such as the instrument cluster) are fac-
tory-equipped with component protection. This ensures the functional limita-
tion of these components in a non-legitimate installation in another vehicle
(e.g. after a theft) or operation outside the vehicle.
Airbags

Read and observe on page 265 first.
WARNING
Modifications, repairs and technical alterations that have been carried out
■
unprofessionally can cause damage and operational faults, and can also se-
riously impair the effectiveness of the airbag system – risk of accident and
fatal injury!
A change to the vehicle's wheel suspension, including the use of non-ap-
■
proved wheels and tyre combinations, can alter the functioning of the air-
bag system - risk of accident and fatal injury!
WARNING
No changes may be made to parts of the airbag system, the front bumper
■
and the body.
Any work on the airbag system including the installation and removal of
■
system components due to other repair work (e.g. removal of the steering
wheel) must only be carried out by a specialist garage.
Do not manipulate individual parts of the airbag system, as this might re-
■
sult in the airbag being deployed.
If the airbag is triggered, the airbag system must be exchanged.
