OCTAVIA RS 3
1. The front grille with an RS badge and a massive front bumper with
an integrated spoiler in the body colour are some of the unmistakeable
attributes of the Škoda Octavia RS.
2. The xenon headlamps with rotary modules, equipped as standard
with washers, have an exceptionally high luminous intensity plus
remarkably improve visibility on bends. Thanks to the rotary modules,
the driver is able to register possible obstacles on the road in time
and respond accordingly.
3. The separate daytime running lights take the form of independent
LED diodes which offer brilliant luminosity and consequently ensure
better visibility of the car. The lights are located above the fog lamps
in the RS design, embedded in a honeycomb screen.
4. The RS badge looks great on the car’s body rear, on the left side
of the 5th door.
5. Retractable external mirrors automatically retract when holding
down the “lock” button on the remote control.
6. 17" Zenith alloy wheels with 225/45 R17 tyres.
7. 18" Neptune alloy wheels with 225/40 R18 tyres.
Providing for your family and performing well at work enriches your life, but sometimes
caring for others makes you forget to care about yourself. So step into an Octavia RS to
taste the fun and freedom you’ve always cherished. And relax, it’s fast enough to ensure
that you’ll be back in time.

General information
ŠKODA SERVICE
Put your car in good hands. We give you good reasons to choose an authorised
Škoda service partner.
We offer you first-class quality
Your car requires advanced technology. For this reason, all the Škoda authorised
service partners have special tools and quality diagnostic systems at their
disposal that in combination with the technological procedures prescribed
by the manufacturer ensure the perfect functionality and reliability of your car.
Professionally trained staff by the manufacturer
The ever-rising standard of the technology used in the car requires corresponding
professional qualifications on the part of the staff. To meet this requirement,
the manufacturer organises regular training for the staff of the authorised service
establishments in order to provide them with state-of-the-art information
important for their activities.
Our motto: be fair and open with our customers
Careful, professional and friendly counselling for the customers upon
acceptance of orders is of great importance to us in the same manner as diligence
and completeness with respect to repairs and maintenance work. All this
is continuously monitored by internal quality control of the provided services.
Comprehensive range of services:
• Service inspections
For your car to remain in top condition and functional for a long time and,
optionally, not to forfeit warranty, it is essential for your Škoda authorised service
partner to perform regular service inspections. The service schedule informs you
about when the service inspection must be done.
• Body and paintwork service
Damage to the body and painted areas following an accident will be fixed
by your authorised Škoda service partner in an expert manner, in accordance
with information from the manufacturer, using Škoda Genuine Parts. This is
important not only for your safety, but also for functionality and maintaining
your car’s value.
• Courtesy car
The authorised Škoda service partner can provide you with a courtesy car for
the period of repair or service inspection.
• Pick-up and delivery service
If you are unable to take your vehicle to a Škoda service, an authorised Škoda
service partner will arrange a date with you to pick up the car. The car will be
delivered back after the service work has been completed.
The listed services represent only a part of the wide range of Škoda service offers.
The offer may vary from country to country. Please contact your authorised Škoda
service partner for further details and information on the range and specific
conditions of services they offer.
ŠKODA GENUINE ACCESSORIES
Genuine accessories make every vehicle unique, giving it its own style. The Škoda
Octavia comes with very extensive standard equipment, however, some of the
additional items can only be purchased as Škoda Genuine Accessories. These
items include, for example, child safety seats, roof rails, mobile phone adapters
and alloy wheels. The extra equipment offer also extends to mechanical
security items and a whole series of items increasing the vehicle’s utility value
and individuality. Our catalogue of Octavia equipment contains more detailed
information on the Škoda Genuine Accessories range.
ŠKODA GENUINE PARTS
Škoda Genuine Parts are identical to those used during the assembly of Škoda
vehicles. The vehicle manufacturer knows best which part is intended for which
functionality and the required parameters it needs to meet unconditionally
for the car to function properly.
Safety
Every vehicle component and part has its own purpose and some of them directly
determine the safety of the car’s occupants. Our care for safety is proven in, for
example, body structure, airbags, safety belts and most importantly in the brake
system. The lives of the people in and around the car depend on the quality and
operating efficiency of the brakes, especially under extreme conditions.
Availability
Škoda Auto offers a comprehensive range of parts and equipment items that are
used in the vehicle’s production, and does not merely focus on high-turnover
parts. The supply of Škoda Genuine Parts is provided even after the relevant
vehicle model is discontinued, and not just for the period specified by law:
indispensable components for the operation of the car are supplied to the
market for at least 15 years after the discontinuation, car equipment components
are supplied to the market for at least 10 years after the discontinuation and
components of door lining and carpets are supplied to the market for at least
8 years after the discontinuation.
Top quality
To verify quality parameters, the development department maintains an extensive
testing facility including a test circuit with extreme polar and desert conditions,
as well as material testing laboratories of the quality control department. Thanks
to the use of first-rate materials and technologies, Škoda Genuine Parts ensure
safe and carefree driving. Precise alignment guarantees replacement of worn parts
without unnecessary complications.
Long life
The use of first-rate materials and production technologies in the manufacture
of Škoda Genuine Parts ensure their maximum reliability and long life.
Original technical solutions
The knowledge gained in production and operation is continuously reflected
in the search for new technical solutions aimed at obtaining a truly first-rate
product, which will meet the customer’s requirements.
Legislative requirements and certification
All Škoda Genuine Parts meet the legislative requirements and are approved
by Škoda Auto on the basis of meeting stringent criteria. This way the customer
obtains a guarantee that the components installed in their vehicle will be reliable,
functional and safe.
Protection of the environment
The Škoda Genuine Parts range includes exchange parts whose production does
not burden the environment with waste, excess heat and water pollution to a high
degree. Returned parts and aggregates are not discarded but modified for re-use,
thus re-utilising a great part of the work and energy invested in the parts during
their manufacture.
INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET
Information is available at www.skoda-auto.com to assist you in deciding which
vehicle suits your needs thanks to the detailed descriptions and photographs of
all our models. Our configuration programme will let you try various combinations
of standard equipment, engine, paint colour, interior and extra equipment to
make sure your new vehicle accurately meets your requirements. This programme
will also assist you with the calculation of optimum monthly payments for vehicle
financing and the selection of a suitable dealer.
ŠKODA FINANCE
If you select a Škoda Octavia vehicle, ŠkoFIN will assist you with financing it. The
ŠkoFIN company offers programmes both for individuals and legal entities. Our
Škoda Finance brand product line offers both lease and loan financing. You can
contact one of our authorised Škoda partners to arrange and sign an agreement
and to learn more about our product offer or the convenient special offers from
ŠkoFIN. These are time limited, however, they bring very unique and interesting
benefits.
FLEET SALES
Whether your car fleet is small or large or whether you are a customer from the
business or public sector, Škoda Auto and its authorised dealer network are here
for you. We offer products and services tailored to your business and financial
needs, including top-quality customer care, a portfolio of services corresponding
to the specific requirements of corporate customers and a high quality of cars,
accessories and maintenance services, which are a guarantee of low operating
and ownership costs of your car fleet.

One of the most important goals of Škoda Auto is the development and production of products that are as environmentally friendly as possible throughout
their life cycle phases, placing principal emphasis on the selection of recyclable materials. Our Škoda cars are manufactured using progressive types of
technology in modern production facilities that meet the strictest criteria. Anticorrosive protection of the cars’ painted parts is based exclusively on lead-free
cataphoresis (KTL) and water-soluable paints.
Our company strategy includes limiting fuel consumption and emissions. As a result, the engines of Škoda Auto meet the current emission regulations. We
also offer diesel engines with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF). All products made by Škoda Auto adhere to the laws and regulations concerning the protection
of soil and water. As a result of these activities, Škoda cars meet technical, safety, quality and environmental requirements. Škoda Auto contributes to the
preservation of a clean environment and provides mobility and comfort to its customers.
The environmental logo expresses Škoda Auto’s awareness of, responsibility for and attempts
at the sustainable development of the company and a friendly approach to life and nature.
