WARNING
The brake fluid must always be changed after the first 3 years and then ev-
ery 2 years. Longer intervals between changing the brake fluid can cause
vapour bubbles to form in the brake system when braking sharply. This can
impair the efficiency of the brakes –There is a risk of an accident!
Digital Service Plan
A specialist garage will not record the work carried out in a service evidence in
this Owner's Manual, but in the service information system called Digital Serv-
ice Plan.
We therefore recommend that you always have the record of work carried out
in a service printed out for you.
Benefits of the Digital Service Plan
▶
High level of security preventing manipulation of the entries.
▶
Transparent documentation of service work carried out.
▶
Protection against loss or damage of the entries – you receive a complete
service record of the work carried out, if required.
▶
Option to receive the record in electronic form.
▶
The vehicle can be serviced in any specialist garage (also abroad) – the data-
base is accessible worldwide.
▶
Increased transparency when purchasing a used vehicle due to entries being
stored centrally.
▶
The system entries support you in making a claim on the ŠKODA extended
warranty and mobility guarantees.
