We cannot guarantee suitability of installation into your vehicle of other
products despite keeping a constant eye on market developments (also not
in the case where there is an attestation or permission can be produced).
The following guidelines should be observed when a vehicle is to be retrofitted with
accessories, have technical changes made to it or a part has to be replaced at some
time in the future.

This is particularly the case when accessories are bought in a foreign country.
Škoda Genuine Accessories and Skoda original parts can be bought from
authorised Škoda Service Partners who also professionally undertake the assembly
of parts which were not purchased there.
Interference on the electronic components and their software can lead to opera-
tional faults. This interference can also impair not directly affected systems because
of the networking of the electronic components. This means that the operating
safety of your vehicle can be considerably jeopardized, a greater wear of vehicle
parts can occur and finally the vehicle registration documents expire.
•
All Škoda original accessories which are listed in the catalogue of original acces-
sories such as spoilers, transport systems, child seats, etc., are homologized.
Radios, aerials and other electrical accessories should only be installed by
authorised Škoda Service Partners.

changes.
We trust that you will understand that Škoda Auto cannot be liable for damage
resulting from unprofessional work.
