Driving Abroad - Skoda Roomster Owner's Manual

Oncoming vehicles can generate water waves which can exceed the permis-
■
sible water level for your vehicle.
Potholes, mud or rocks can be hidden under the water, making it difficult or
■
impossible to drive through water.
Do not drive through salt water, as the salt can cause corrosion. A vehicle
■
coming into contact with salt water is to be thoroughly rinsed with fresh wa-
ter.
Note
After driving through water, we recommend having the vehicle checked by a
specialist garage.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Unleaded petrol
Headlights
In certain countries, it may be possible that the ŠKODA service partner net-
work 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.
Unleaded petrol
A vehicle fitted with a petrol engine must always be refuelled with unleaded
petrol » page 143, Unleaded petrol. Information regarding the locations of fill-
ing stations that offer unleaded petrol is, for example, provided by the auto-
mobile associations.
Headlights
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 on-
coming drivers. In order to avoid this, the headlights must be adjusted at a
specialist garage.
