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 in the Czech Republic and its foreign
importers are happy to provide information about technical aspects of the vehicle,
required maintenance work and possibilities for getting repairs done.

Headlights
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.
Halogen projector headlights
The adaptation of the headlights (valid for vehicles which are designed for driving
on the left and on the right) must be performed by switching over a bezel by a
specialist garage.

Halogen headlight
When using Halogen headlights, it is necessary to stick a sticker over a certain
part of the headlights in order to prevent the dazzling of oncoming traffic.
You can purchase headlight stickers from the range of the ŠKODA Original Acces-
sories.
Note
You can obtain further information regarding masking over or converting the
headlights from your specialist garage.
Avoiding damage to your vehicle
When driving on poor roads and lanes or when driving over kerb stones, steep
ramps, etc., you must pay particular attention to ensuring that any low-slung parts
of the vehicle, such as spoiler and exhaust, do not touch the ground and get dam-
aged.
This particularly applies to models with a lowered suspension (sport suspension)
and also when your vehicle is fully laden.
