Spoiler


Read and observe on page 73 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 73 first.
WARNING
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!
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!
WARNING
Information on the use of the airbag system
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.
WARNING
No modifications of any kind must be made to parts of the airbag system.
■
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.
Never make any changes to the front bumper or the bodywork.
■
It is prohibited to manipulate individual parts of the airbag system, as this
■
might result in the airbag being deployed.
The protective function of the airbag system is sufficient for only one ac-
■
cident. The airbag system must then be replaced if the airbag has been de-
ployed.
