Driving abroad

Introductory information
In certain countries it is also possible that the ŠKODA Partner network is limited
or has not been established yet. This is the reason why procuring certain spare

make limited repairs.
ŠKODA in the Czech Republic and its importers are happy to provide information
about technical aspects of the vehicle, required maintenance work and possibili-
ties for getting repairs done.

Unleaded petrol
A vehicle fitted with a petrol engine must always be refuelled with unleaded pet-
rol » page 168. Information regarding the locations of filling stations that offer
unleaded petrol is, for example, provided by the automobile associations.
Headlights
The low beam of your headlights is set asymmetrically. It illuminates the side of
the road on which the vehicle is being driven to a greater extent.
When driving in countries in which the traffic drives on the other side of the road
than in your home country, the asymmetrical low beam may dazzle oncoming
drivers. To prevent oncoming traffic from being dazzled, the headlights must be
adjusted by a ŠKODA Partner.
Headlights with Xenon lights are adjusted in the menu of the information dis-
play » operating instructions for Infotainment, chapter Setting vehicle systems
(CAR button).
Note
Further information on adjusting the headlights is available from a ŠKODA Part-
ner.
