always be returned. In a lot of countries sufficient trade-in networks have been
created, where you can trade-in your vehicle. After you trade-in your vehicle, you will

Motoring abroad

General
Other circumstances may exist abroad.
It is also possible, in certain countries, that the Škoda Service Partner network is limited
or has not been established yet. This is the reason why obtaining certain spare parts
may be somewhat complicated and specialist garage personnel may only be able to
make limited repairs. Škoda Auto in the Czech Republic and relevant importers are
happy to provide information about technical aspects of the vehicle, required mainte-
nance work and possibilities for getting repairs done.
Unleaded petrol
A vehicle fitted with a petrol engine must always be refuelled with unleaded petrol
 page 174. The automobile associations can provide you with information regarding
the locations of filling stations which offer unleaded petrol.
Headlight
The low beam of your headlights is set asymmetrically. It illuminates the side of the
road on which you are driving to a greater extent. If you drive abroad on the other side
of the road, you will dazzle oncoming traffic.
In order to prevent the dazzling of oncoming traffic, it is necessary that an adjustment
of the headlights is carried out by a specialist garage.
The adaptation of the headlights with Xenon lights* (applies to vehicles which are
designed for driving on the left and on the right) is performed in the menu Setup
Travel mode of the information display*  page 24.
Note
You can obtain further information regarding masking over the headlights from a
specialist garage.
