Liability for defects and ŠKODA Warranty for new cars
Warranty period
Using a ŠKODA partner, ŠKODA Auto India Private Limited gives a 4-year new
car warranty from the date of purchase with no limitation on mileage.
Warranty coverage
This warranty extends to the repair or replacement of all parts that need to be
repaired or replaced due to inadequate workmanship or the parts being defec-
tive; this is in order to restore the vehicle to its original production specifica-
tions while adhering to deadlines and the requirements set out in this Owner's
Manual.
The ŠKODA partner decides on the type of repair, taking into account eco-
nomic aspects as regards to the technologies recommended by ŠKODA Auto
India Private Limited.
An adequate period of time should be provided for the completion of the war-
ranty repair after the notification of the vehicle with a ŠKODA partner.
Where can you claim warranty
The warranty is provided by a ŠKODA partner.
Beginning and end of the warranty period
The warranty period begins on the date of delivery of the new vehicle to the
original purchaser or lessee.
This new vehicle warranty is automatically transferred free of charge when
ownership of the vehicle takes place during the warranty period.
In terms of the repairs made, or parts built-in during the warranty period, the
warranty expires at the end of the warranty period of the respective vehicle.
Tyres and vehicle batteries
Some parts with which ŠKODA vehicles are equipped, such as tyres, batteries,
etc., are not produced by ŠKODA Auto India Private Limited, but are provided
by other suppliers. These parts are excluded from the ŠKODA warranty, but
the vehicle purchaser can make a warranty claim with the respective manufac-
turer / supplier. If there are any problems with the provision of the guarantee
by these manufacturers, an authorized ŠKODA dealer will assist you in finding
a solution.
Maintenance implementation and mechanical customisations
This warranty does not apply to costs of consumables or work as part of regu-
lar maintenance. A tyre change, a wheel alignment and balancing are also con-
sidered to be scheduled maintenance.
This warranty does not apply to the change of spark plugs, oils, lubricants, flu-
ids or refrigerants, as long as their exchange is not an integral part of the war-
ranty with respect to the relevant part.
Defective light bulbs
1)
, wiper blades, brake shoes or brake pads which occur
within six months or 10 000 km, whichever occurs first, can be repaired due to
deficient workmanship or the parts being defective. After expiry of the time
limits mentioned above these are regarded as natural wear and tear and are
excluded from the warranty.
Taking care of the minor vehicle parts, such as the cleaning of fabrics / leather
upholstery inside the vehicle, the protective wax covering of various body
parts, are considered maintenance and are excluded from the warranty. A
damaged or fading of trim, soft elements and leather parts due to the effect of
weather conditions or usage are excluded from the warranty.
The term "normal wear and tear" cannot be predefined, because different
types of use leads to different defects or types of wear. Particularly sensitive
components, such as spark plugs, clutch plates and related components, are
easily identifiable and are excluded from the warranty.
Mechanical adjustments that are not material or workmanship related (espe-
cially doors, flaps and headlight settings) are excluded from the guarantee af-
ter 10 000 km or 6 months, whichever occurs first. After this period, these
faults are considered normal wear and tear.
Immaterial errors that do not affect the vehicle function, including noise or vi-
bration, and anything similar, are excluded from the warranty.
1)
Exception is for the bi-xenon gas discharge lamps in the headlights, they are
covered by a 2 year warranty. Damaged bulbs in the headlights caused by
external influences are excluded from the warranty.

Liability for defects and ŠKODA Warranty for new cars
Accident data recorder (Event Data Recorder)
The vehicle is equipped with a device that serves as an accident data recorder
(referred to solely as “EDR” from this point). The main purpose of the EDR is
data recording during a traffic accident or other exceptional traffic conditions
(referred to solely as “accident” from this point), where the restraint systems
are activated.
The EDR records the accident in a short time (approximately 10 s), by showing
the following information, for example:
The function of certain vehicle systems,
The driver and passenger seat belt status,
The actuation of the brake and accelerator pedal,
The speed of the vehicle at the time of the accident.
The recorded data helps with the analysis of how the vehicle systems were be-
having shortly before, during and shortly after the accident, thereby ensuring
better information regarding the circumstances under which the accident oc-
curred, which lead to material damage and possibly to personal injury.
The data relating to assist systems in the vehicle is then also recorded. In addi-
tion to the information on whether the affected systems were switched on or
off at the relevant time, whether these were only partially available or were in-
active, there is also the possibility of tracking whether these vehicle functions
controlled, accelerated or braked the vehicle during the accident. Depending
on the vehicle equipment, these functions may include, for example:
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Lane Assist
Park Assist
Parking aid
Emergency brake function (Front Assist)
EDR data is only recorded if an accident causes the restraint systems to be ac-
tivated. Under normal driving conditions there is no data recording and there is
no audio or video recording of the vehicle interior or the vehicle environment.
Personal data such as name, gender, age or place where the accident occurred
is also not stored in the EDR. However, third parties such as law enforcement
authorities may use certain resources to connect EDR content to other data
sources, and therefore deduce the identification of some of the people in-
volved in the accident when investigating the causes of the accident.
Reading out the EDR requires special equipment with specific access authori-
zation and a legally prescribed diagnostic connection in the vehicle “on-board
diagnostics”), and the ignition will need to be switched on.
ŠKODA AUTO will not read or otherwise process any accident data from the
EDRwithout the approval of the vehicle owner or other person authorised for
use of the vehicle. Exceptions are specified in the contractual arrangements, or
these are subject to generally binding regulations.
Due to the legal requirements, ŠKODA AUTO is required to monitor the quali-
ty and safety of its products, meaning that it is only entitled to use data from
the EDR for monitoring the product on the market, for further research and
development, and to improve the quality of the vehicle's safety systems. For
the purpose of research and development, ŠKODA AUTO will also make data
available to third parties. This is done exclusively in anonymous form, i.e. with-
out any connection to the specific vehicle, the vehicle owner or other author-
ised user.

ests) » fig. 2 -
C
.
Correctly fasten the seat belt » page 14, Using seat belts.
WARNING
Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm from the steering wheel, and a dis-
tance of at least 6 cm between the legs and the dashboard at the height of
the knee airbag. Not maintaining this minimum distance will mean that the
airbag system will not be able to properly protect you - hazard!
When driving, hold the steering wheel with both hands firmly on the out-
er edge in the “9 o'clock” and “3 o'clock” position » fig. 2. Never hold the
steering wheel in the “12 o'clock” position or in any other way (e.g. in the
middle, inner edge of the steering wheel or similar). Otherwise, in the event
of airbag deployment, you could suffer serious injury to the arms, hands
and head.
Ensure that no objects are located in the driver's footwell, as they could
lodge in the pedal system whilst driving. You would then no longer be able
to operate the clutch, brake or acceleration pedals.

death!
Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven – nev-
er place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the
surface of the seats! You will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it be-
comes necessary to apply the brake or in the event of an accident. If an air-
bag is deployed, you could suffer fatal injuries by adopting an incorrect
seated position!

Passive Safety
Seat belts
Using seat belts
Introduction
Seat belts that are fastened correctly offer good protection in the event of an
accident. They reduce the risk of an injury and increase the chance of survival
in the event of a major accident.
The seat belts reduce the kinetic energy considerably. They also prevent un-
controlled movements which, in turn, may well result in severe injuries.
When transporting children, observe the following information» page 22,
Transporting children safely.
WARNING
Put the seat belt on before starting any journey! This also applies to other
passengers - there is a danger of injury!
Maximum seat belt protection is only achieved if you are correctly seated
» page 11, Correct and safe seated position.
The seat backrests of the front seats must not be tilted too far to the rear
otherwise the seatbelts can lose their effectiveness.
WARNING
Information on dealing with the safety belts
The belt webbing must not be jammed in-between at any point or twis-
ted, or chafe against any sharp edges.
Make sure you do not catch the seat belt in the door when closing it.
WARNING
Information on the proper use of safety belts
Adjust the height of the belt in such a way that the shoulder part of the
belt is roughly positioned across the middle of your shoulder - on no ac-
count across your neck.
No two persons (also not children) should ever use a single seat belt to-
gether.
WARNING (Continued)
The lock tongue should only be inserted into the lock which is the correct
one for your seat. Wrong use of the safety belt will reduce its capacity to
protect and the risk of injury increases.
Many layers of clothing and loose clothing (e. g. a winter coat over a jack-
et) do not allow you to be correctly seated and impairs proper operation of
the seat belts.
Do not use clamps or other objects to adjust seat belts (e.g. for shorten-
ing the belts for smaller persons).
The seat belts for second and third row of seats can only reliably fulfil
their function if the rear seat backrests are correctly locked into position
» page 81.
WARNING
Information on the care and maintenance of safety belts
The belt webbing must always be kept clean. Soiled belt webbing may im-
pair the proper operation of the inertia reel » page 271.
The seat belts must not be removed or changed in any way. Do not at-
tempt to repair the seat belts yourself.
Check the condition of all the seat belts on a regular basis. If parts of the
belt system become damaged (e.g. the belt webbing, the belt connections,
the inertia reel, the locking part etc.), the respective seat belt must be re-
placed by a specialist garage immediately.
Seat belts which have been subjected to stress in an accident must be re-
placed by a specialist garage. The anchorage points for the belts should al-
so be checked.

Seat belt height adjusters for front seats
Read and observe on page 14 first.
It is important that the belt is properly routed to ensure seat belts offer the
maximum protection.
Theshoulder part of the beltmust run approximately over the middle of your
shoulder (never across your neck) and fit well against your upper body » fig. 4 -
.
Thelap part of the belt must run lap part of the belt must run in front of the
pelvis (must never run across your stomach) and must always fit snugly » fig. 4
- .
In the case ofpregnant women, the lap part of the belt must be positioned as
low as possible on the pelvis to avoid exerting any pressure on the lower abdo-
men » fig. 4 - .
Seat belt height adjusters for front seats
Push the seat belt guide loop upwards in the direction of arrow » fig. 5 - .
Or: push together the mechanism in the direction of arrows
1
and push the
return pulley downwards in the direction of arrow
2
» fig. 5 - .
Then pull firmly on the belt to ensure that the seat belt height adjuster has
correctly locked in place.
WARNING
Always ensure that the webbing of the seat belts is properly routed. Seat
belts which are not correctly adjusted can themselves cause injuries even in
minor accidents.
A seat belt which is hanging too loose can result in injuries as your body is
moved forward by the kinetic energy produced in an accident and is then
suddenly held firm by the belt.
The belt webbing must not run across solid or fragile objects (e.g. specta-
cles, ball-point pens, keys, etc.). Such objects can cause injury.

WARNING
The slot of the belt tongue must not be blocked, otherwise the belt tongue
will not lock in place properly.
Inertia reel and belt tensioners
Inertia reels
Each seat belt is equipped with an inertia reel.
When pulling slowly on the seat belt, the belt can move freely. When pulling
sharply on the seat belt, the movement is locked by the inertia reel. The belts
also lock when full braking, when the car accelerates, when driving downhill
and when cornering.
WARNING
If the seat belt does not lock when pulling sharply on it, have the inertia reel
inspected immediately by a specialist garage.
Belt tensioners
The safety for the driver, front passenger and the two passengers on the outer
seats of the second row of seats who are wearing seat belts is enhanced by
the belt tensioners fitted to the inertia reels of the front seats and the outer
seats of the second row of seats.
If there is a collision with a certain severity the seat belts are tightened by the
belt tensioner so that unwanted body motion is prevented.
Belt tensioners are not activated in the event of minor collisions, in the case of
a roll-over and also not in accidents in which no major forces are produced.
16
Safety
WARNING
Any work on the belt tensioner system, including the removal and installa-
tion of system components because of other repair work, must only be car-
ried out by a specialist garage.
If the belt tensioners have been deployed, it is then necessary to replace
the entire system.
Notice
The belt tensioners can also be deployed if the seat belts are not fastened.
Smoke is generated when the belt tensioners are deployed. This is not an in-
dication of a fire in the vehicle.
Reversible belt tensioners
As part of the proactive passenger protection system, reversible seat belts in-
crease the safety of the belted up driver and front passenger.
In critical driving situations the seat belt is tensioned tightly over the body and
then released again be the reversible belt tensioner.
Further information » page 253, Proactive passenger protection (Crew Protect
Assist).
Airbag system
Description of the airbag system
Introduction
As a supplement to the seat belts, the airbag system provides additional pas-
senger protection in the event of severe frontal and side collisions.
The best possible protective effect of the airbag can only be achieved if the
seat belts are applied properly. The airbag is not a substitute for the seat
belts.
The functional status of the airbag system is indicated by the warning light
in the instrument cluster » page 37.

Airbag system
The forward movement of the body is cushioned when it makes contact with
the fully inflated airbag and the risk of injury to the remaining body parts is
thus reduced.
Front airbags - head and upper body. The airbags can be identified by the let-
tering  featured on the steering wheel and on the dash panel on the pas-
senger side.
Driver's knee airbag - Legs. The airbag features the lettering  on the
dashboard on the driver's side.
Side airbags - for the entire upper body (chest, stomach, pelvis) on the side
next to the door. The front side air bags can be identified by a label with the
lettering  marked on the front seat backrests. The rear side airbags are
provided with the lettering  in between the entrance area and the rear
seat backrest.
Head airbags - head and neck. The airbags are provided with the lettering

marked on the B-pillar cladding.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the airbag system consists of the
following parts.
Individual airbags.

Airbag deployment
Fig. 9
Inflated airbags
The airbag system is only functional when the ignition is switched on.
When triggered, the airbag is filled with gas and unfolds. The inflation of the
airbag is carried out in a fraction of a second.
Upon inflation of the airbag, smoke is released. This is not an indication of a
fire in the vehicle.
Triggering conditions
It is not possible to generally determine which deployment conditions apply to
the airbag system in every situation. Important here is the hardness of the ob-
ject on which the vehicle impacts, the impact angle, the vehicle speed, etc.
The deceleration plays an important role in the deployment of the airbags. If
the vehicle deceleration which occurs and is measured during the collision re-
mains below the prescribed reference values specified in the control unit, the
airbags are not deployed although the vehicle may well suffer severe damage
to the bodywork as a consequence of the accident.
The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe frontal
collision.
Driver’s front airbag.
Front passenger airbag.
Driver’s knee airbag.
