Motoring abroad
General
Other circumstances may exist abroad.
It is also possible, in certain countries, that the Škoda Service Partner
network is limited or has not been established yet. This is the reason why
obtaining certain spare parts may be somewhat complicated and
specialist garage personnel may only be able to make limited repairs.
Škoda Auto a.s. in the Czech Republic and relevant importers are happy
to provide information about technical aspects of the vehicle, required
maintenance work and possibilities for getting repairs done.
Unleaded petrol
A vehicle fitted with a petrol engine must always be refuelled with
unleaded petrol ⇒ page 193. The automobile associations can provide
you with information regarding the locations of filling stations which offer
unleaded petrol.
Headlight
The low beam of your headlights is set asymmetrically. It illuminates the
side of the road on which you are driving to a greater extent. If you drive
abroad on the other side of the road, you will dazzle oncoming traffic.
It is necessary in order to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic to stick a sticker
over a certain part of the headlights.
Using the system
Safety
Headlight stickers can be obtained as a spare part from the Skoda Service
Partners.
Headlights with Xenon lamps are designed for driving in countries with
traffic on the right or on the left. Have this done always at a Škoda Service
Partner.
You can obtain further information regarding masking over or converting
the headlights from your Škoda Service Partner.
Avoiding damage to your vehicle
When driving on poor roads and lanes or when driving over kerbstones,
steep ramps etc., you must pay particular attention to ensuring that any
low-slung parts of the vehicle, such as spoiler and exhaust, do not touch
the ground and get damaged.
This particularly applies to models with a lowered suspension (sport
suspension) and also when your vehicle is fully laden.
