In certain countries, it may be possible that the ŠKODA service partner network is
limited or has not been established. This is the reason why procuring certain
spare parts may be somewhat complicated and specialist garages may only be
able to make limited repairs.

rol
» page

tions that offer unleaded petrol is, for example, provided by the automobile asso-
ciations.
Headlights
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 131.
The low beam of your headlights is set asymmetrically. It illuminates the side of
the road on which the vehicle is being driven to a greater extent.
When driving in countries in which the traffic drives on the other side of the road
than in your home country, the asymmetrical low beam may dazzle oncoming
drivers. In order to avoid this, the headlights must be adjusted at a specialist ga-
rage.
Headlights with Xenon lights are adjusted in the menu of the information dis-

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
We cannot discuss all the possible driving situations in this manual, because
there are so many types of terrains which may hide different risks and dangers.
The examples listed in this manual are general rules for safe off-road driving. It is
however not possible to predict if these rules are valid for all the situations which
may occur. Before driving through unknown terrain, it is therefore important that
you know what lies ahead of you. This way you can estimate any possible danger
in advance.
When driving off-road, pay attention to the national legal regulations.
WARNING
Be very alert and look ahead when driving off-road. Always adjust your driv-
■
ing to the current of-road, traffic and weather conditions. Excessive speed or
incorrect driving manoeuvres can cause damage to the vehicle and lead to se-
rious injuries.
The Assistance systems of your vehicle cannot overcome the physical limits
■
of your vehicle.
