Accessories and replacement parts

Škoda vehicles have been built according to the latest discoveries in safety engi-
neering. Thus one should not change the condition in which the vehicle was delivered
from the manufacturer without some thought.
The following guidelines should be observed when a vehicle is to be retrofitted with
accessories, have technical changes made to it or a part has to be replaced at some
time in the future.

Advise should always be obtained from a specialist garage before buying any
accessories and before making any technical changes 

This is particularly the case when accessories are bought in a foreign country.

Škoda Genuine Accessories which have been released for use and Škoda original
parts can be bought from specialist garages that professionally undertake the
assembly of parts which were purchased there.

All Škoda original accessories which are listed in the catalogue of original accesso-
ries such as spoilers, transport systems, child seats, etc., are homologized.

Radios, aerials and other electrical accessories should only be installed by a
specialist garage.

The guidelines issued by Škoda Auto must be observed when making technical
changes.

This is to ensure that no technical damage occurs to the vehicle, that travelling and
operating safety are maintained and that the chnages are permissible. The specialist
garages also undertake this work professionally or refer it to another specialist garage
in special cases.
Any damage which is done caused by technical changes made without consulting
a Skoda dealer is excluded from the guarantee.
WARNING

We advise you, in your own interest, to only use Škoda Genuine Accessories
and Škoda original parts which have been expressly approved for use on your
WARNING (continued)
Škoda. Reliability, safety and suitabiliity have been established for these Škoda
original parts.

We cannot guarantee suitability of installation into your vehicle of other
products despite keeping a constant eye on market developments (also not in
the case where there is an attestation or permission can be produced).

Technical changes

.
Interference on the electronic components and their software can lead to operational
faults. This interference can also impair not directly affected systems because of the
networking of the electronic components. This means that the operating safety of your
vehicle can be considerably jeopardized, a greater wear of vehicle parts can occur and
finally the vehicle registration documents expire.
We trust that you will understand that Škoda Auto cannot be liable for damage
resulting from unprofessional work.
We therefore recommend that you have all work carried out with Škoda original parts
at specialist garages.
WARNING
Work or modifications on your vehicle, which have been carried out unprofes-
sionally, can cause operational faults - risk of accident!
