The instructions and guidelines from ŠKODA AUTO a.s. must be observed when
carrying out all modifications, repairs or technical alterations to your vehicle.
Adhering to these instructions and guidelines helps ensure road safety and
helps keep your vehicle in a good technical condition. After carrying out modifi-
cations, repairs or technical alterations, the vehicle will comply with German
road transport regulations (StVZO)
Always consult a ŠKODA Partner before buying accessories or parts, or before
carrying out any modifications, repairs or technical alterations to your vehicle.
WARNING
If work on your vehicle is not carried out properly, this can lead to opera-
■
tional faults - risk of accident and serious injuries.
We recommend only having these modifications and technical alterations
■
carried out by a specialist garage.
Interference on the electronic components and their software can lead to
■
operational faults. This interference can also impair not directly affected
systems because of the networking of the electronic components. The op-
erational safety of the vehicle may be at significant risk and can lead to in-
creased wear of parts.
The ŠKODA Partner does not assume any liability for products that have
■
not been approved by ŠKODA AUTO a.s. even though these may be prod-
ucts with an operational approval or that have been approved by a govern-
ment testing institute.
