Spoiler

Read and observe on page 160 first.
If your new vehicle is fitted with a spoiler on the front bumper in combination
with the spoiler on the luggage compartment lid, the following instructions
must be adhered to.
›
For safety reasons, the vehicle must only be fitted with a spoiler on the front
bumper in combination with the associated spoiler on the luggage compart-
ment 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 repairs
to or replacement, addition or removal of spoilers.
WARNING
If work on your vehicle's spoilers is not carried out properly, this can lead
■
to operational faults - risk of accident and serious injuries.
If a front spoiler, full wheel trim, etc. is mounted retrospectively, it must
■
be ensured that the air supply to the front wheel brakes is not reduced.
The front brakes may overheat which can have a negative impact on the
functioning of the braking system – risk of accident!
Airbags

Read and observe on page 160 first.
The system components of the airbag system can be situated in the front
bumper, doors, front seats, roof lining or body.

General Maintenance
WARNING
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.
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!
The airbag system will then have to be replaced if the airbag is deployed.
■
Airbag modules cannot be repaired.
WARNING
Information on the use of the airbag system
It is prohibited to manipulate individual parts of the airbag system, as this
■
might result in the airbag being deployed.
Never install any airbag parts into the vehicle that have been removed
■
from old cars or have been recycled.
Never install damaged airbag parts in the vehicle. The airbags may then
■
not be deployed properly or even at all in the event of an accident.
No modifications of any kind must be made to parts of the airbag system.
■
WARNING
A change to the vehicle's wheel suspension, including the use of non-ap-
■
proved wheels and tire combinations, can alter the functioning of the air-
bag system - risk of accident and fatal injury!
Never make any changes to the front bumper or the bodywork.
■
WARNING
The airbag control unit operates using pressure sensors located in the front
doors. For this reason, no adjustments may be carried out to the doors or
door panels (e.g. installation of additional loudspeakers). Resulting damage
can have a negative impact on the function of the airbag system. Any work
on the front doors and door panels must be carried out by a specialist ga-
rage. The following guidelines must be observed.
Never drive with inner door panels removed.
■
Never drive if parts of the inner door panel have been removed and the
■
resulting openings have not been properly sealed.
