Liability for defects and ŠKODA Warranty for new cars
Warranty period
By means of the ŠKODA partner, ŠKODA Auto India Private Limited provides a
4-year/100,000-km
1)
new car warranty from the date of sale.
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
2)
, 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 ex-
cluded 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)
Promotional offer, subsequent warranty in the third and fourth year.
2)
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 quality
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 devel-
opment, and to improve the quality of the vehicle's safety systems. For the
purpose of research and development, ŠKODA AUTO will also make data avail-
able to third parties. This is done exclusively in anonymous form, i.e. without
any connection to the specific vehicle, the vehicle owner or other authorised
user.

The seat backrests must not be angled too far back when driving, other-
wise this will affect proper operation of the seat belts and of the airbag
system – risk of injury!
WARNING
By sitting incorrectly, the occupant is risking life-threatening injuries.
Driver’s correct seated position
Fig. 4
Correct seated position for the driver/correct steering wheel po-
sition
Read and observe on page 14 first.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident,
we recommend the following setting.
Adjust the driver’s seat in the forward/back direction so that the pedals
can be fully depressed with slightly bent legs.
For vehicles equipped with driver knee airbags, adjust the driver's seat in a
forward/back direction so that there is a gap of at least 6 cm between the
legs and the dashboard in the vicinity of the knee airbag » fig. 4 -

.
Adjust the seat backrest so that the highest point of the steering wheel
can be reached with your arms at a slight angle.
Adjust the steering wheel so that the distance between the steering wheel
and your chest is at least 25 cm» fig. 4 -

.
Adjust the headrest so that the top edge of the headrest is at the same
level as the upper part of your head (not for seats with integrated headr-
ests)» fig. 4 -
C
.
Correctly fasten the seat belt » page 16, 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 dash panel 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. 4. 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 there are no objects in the driver's footwell as they may get be-
hind the pedals while driving. You would then no longer be able to operate
the clutch, brake or accelerate.

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 (energy of motion) to a considerable
extent. They also prevent uncontrolled movements which, in turn, may well re-
sult in severe injuries.
When transporting a child the following instructions must be observed
» page 23, Transporting children safely.
WARNING
Fasten seat belts before every journey! This also applies to other passen-
gers - there is a danger of injury!
The maximum protection which seat belts can offer is only achieved if
you are correctly seated » page 13, Correct and safe seating 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 attach clamps or similar objects to the belt - the function of the
belt retractor could be restricted.
The seat belts for the rear seats can only fulfil their function reliably when
the 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 proper operation of the inertia reel » page 256.
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 damage to
the parts of the seat belt system (e.g. the strap, the belt connectors, the re-
tractor, the lock or similar) are detected, the seat belt in question must be
replaced by a specialist immediately.
Seat belts which have been subject to stress in an accident should be re-
placed by a specialist garage. Also check the seat belt anchors.
Correct routing of seat belt

ing of belt webbing for an expectant mother
16
Safety
Fig. 7 seat belt height adjusters for front seats
Read and observe on page 16 first.
It is important that the belt is properly routed to ensure seat belts offer the
maximum protection.
The shoulder belt should be positioned approximately over the middle of your
shoulder (under no circumstances across your neck) and lie flush to the
chest» fig. 6 -
.
The lower part of the belt should run across the pelvis (it should not lie on top
of the stomach) and must always fit snugly» fig. 6 -
.
For pregnant women, the lower part of the belt must be positioned as low
down as possible across the pelvis, to avoid exerting any pressure on the lower
abdomen» fig. 6 -
.
seat belt height adjusters for front seats
Push the seat belt guide loop upwards in the direction of arrow» fig. 7 -
.
or: push together the mechanism in the direction of arrows
1
and push the
return pulley downwards in the direction of arrow
2
» fig. 7 - .
Then pull firmly on the belt to ensure that the seat belt height adjuster has
correctly locked in place and that the belt is blocked reliably » page 18, Iner-
tia reels.
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. pencils,
spectacles, pens, keys etc.). Such objects can cause injury.
Fastening and unfastening seat belts
Fig. 8
Fastening/unfastening the seat belt
Read and observe on page 16 first.
Before fastening the belt
Adjust the head restraint properly (does not apply to seats with integrated
head restraints).
Adjust the seat (applies to the front seats).
Adjust the belt height (applies to the front seats).
Fasten
Slowly pull the belt over the chest and pelvis.
Insert the lock tongue into the belt buckle for the seat » fig. 8 - until it au-
dibly clicks into place.
Pull on the belt to check that it has engaged correctly in the lock.
Release
Grip the lock tongue and press the red button in the buckle» fig. 8 - , the
lock tongue pops out.
17
Seat belts
Guide the belt back by hand so that the seat belt does not twist and the
webbing rolls up fully.
WARNING
The reel opening for the lock tongue must not be blocked otherwise the
lock tongue will not lock into place properly.
Inertia reel and belt pretensioners
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 block when during 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 it inspected
immediately by a specialist garage.
Belt tensioners
Safety for the driver and front passenger wearing their seat belts is enhanced
by the belt tensioners fitted to the inertia reels of the front seat belts.
If there is a collision of 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 a roll-over, minor collisions or
in accidents in which no major forces are produced.
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.
