We recommend that you read this Owner's Manual carefully so that you can quickly familiarise yourself with

The on-board literature

The on-board literature for your vehicle consists of this “Owner's Manual” as well

as a “Service schedule” and the “Help on the road” brochure.

Depending on the vehicle model and equipment, other additional operating man-

uals and instructions may be provided (e.g. an operating manual for the radio).

If one of the publications listed above is missing, please contact a specialist ga-

rage.

The details given in the vehicle's technical documentation always take prece-

dence over the details in the Owner's Manual.

The Owner's Manual

These operating instructions describe all possible equipment variants without

identifying them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent

equipment.

Consequently, this vehicle does not need to contain all of the equipment compo-

nents described in this Owner's manual.

The scope of equipment for your vehicle is described in the sales documentation

you were given when purchasing the car. For more information, contact your local

ŠKODA retailer.

The illustrations can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are only inten-

ded for general information.

The Service schedule

contains:

›Vehicle data

›Service proof

›Confirmation of mobility warranty (only valid in certain countries)

›Important information on the warranty

The confirmations of the service work performed are one of the conditions for

possible warranty claims.

Please always present the Service Schedule when you take your car to a special-

ist garage.

If the Service Schedule is missing or worn, please contact the specialist garage

that regularly services your car. You will receive a duplicate, in which the previ-

ously carried out service work is confirmed.

The Help on the Road brochure

The Help on the Road brochure contains the most important telephone numbers

in individual countries as well as the addresses and telephone numbers of ŠKODA

importers.
