Seat belts
WARNING
•
The service life of seat belts and belt tensioners is 15 years from
the date of manufacture of the vehicle. It is then necessary to have
the seat belts replaced by a Škoda dealer.
•
Any work on the system including removal and installation of
system components because of other repair work, must only be
carried out by Škoda Dealer.
•
The protective function of the system is only adequate for a
single accident. If the belt tensioners have been deployed, it is then
necessary to replace the entire system.
•
The Owner's Manual must also be handed over to the new
owner if the vehicle is sold.
Note
•
Smoke is generated when the belt tensioners are deployed. This is not
an indication of a fire in the vehicle.
•
It is essential to pay attention to relevant safety regulations if the
vehicle or individual parts of the system are scrapped. Škoda dealers are
familiar with these regulations and will be able to provide you with detailed
information in this respect.
•
When disposing of vehicle or parts of the system, it is important to
comply with the national legal requirements.
