There is a sticker near the lock of the bonnet that warns of high voltage of the
vehicle's electrical system. The ignition system of the vehicle meets, e.g., the
Canadian Standard ICES-002.
Operating the vehicle in other countries and continents
ä
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 179.
The vehicle was factory-produced for a particular country and meets its approval
conditions that were valid at the time of vehicle production.
If the vehicle is sold to another country or is to be used in another country for an
extended period, the applicable laws in the country must be observed.
It may be required to retrofit or remove certain equipment and disable certain
functions. Similarly, service volumes and types of services may be affected. This is
especially the case if the vehicle is operated for an extended period in a different
Ð
climatic region.
Because of different frequency bands in other countries, the factory-delivered ra-
dio may not work in another country.
NOTICE
● Škoda is not responsible for damage to the vehicle arising from poor quali-
ty fuel, poor service or lack of original parts availability.
● Škoda is not responsible if the vehicle does not meet or only partially
meets the relevant legal requirements in other countries and continents.
