Instruments and warning lights
28Rear fog light

The warning light
 comes on when the rear fog lights are operating
page 50.
Bulb failure

The warning light
 comes on if a bulb is faulty:

up to 2 seconds after the ignition is switched on;

when switching on the defective light bulb.
The following text e.g will be disp
layed in the information display*:
Check front right dipped beam!
The rear side lights and the licence plate li
ghting require several light bulbs. The indi-
cator light
 only lights up if all light bulbs of
the licence plate lighting or the parking
light (in one rear light unit) are defective. Check regularly the function of the light bulbs.Alternator

The warning light
 comes on after the ignition has
been switched on. It should go
out after the engine has started. If the warning light does not go out after
the engine has started, or comes on when
driving, drive to the nearest specialist garage. The vehicle battery will be discharged in this case so switch off all non-
essential electrical components.
Caution
If the warning light
 comes on when driving and in addition the warning light

(cooling system fault) also comes on in di
splay, you must then stop the car immedi-
ately and switch the engine off - risk of engine damage!Fog lights*

The warning light
 comes on when the fog lights are operating
page 50.
Electrohydraulic power steering

The warning light
 comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
If the warning light after switching on the ignition or when driving lights up continu- ously, a fault exists in the electrohydraulic power steering. The power steering operates with reduced steering assist or is completely without function. Further information
page 141.
WARNING
Contact your specialist
garage if the power steering is defective.
Note

If the yellow warning light
 goes out after starting the engine again and a short
drive, it is not necessary to visit a specialist garage.
If the battery has been di
sconnected and reconnected, the yellow warning light

comes on after switching on the ignition. Th
e warning light must go out after driving a
short distance.
There is no power-assisted steering su
pport when the vehicle is being towed
without the engine running or when the power-assisted steering is defect. The vehicle is fully steerable however. There is however increased force required to turn the steering wheel.EPC fault light

(petrol engine)
The
 (Electronic Power Control) warning light comes on for a few seconds when the
ignition is switched on. If the warning light
 flashes after starting the engine
or flashes while driving, a fault
exists in the engine control system. The en
gine management system selects an emer-
gency programme which enables you to drive to the nearest specialist garage by adopting a gentle style of driving. The following text will be displayed in the information display*:

steering wheel, at the same time slide it
to the bottom and hold it in this position.
– Switch on the ignition - the left turn signal light flashes 4x.– Switch off the ignition - an audible signal
sounds, which confir
ms the deactivation
of the daylight driving lights.
– Release the turn signal light lever. On vehicles with separate ligh
ts* for daylight driving lights in the fog lights or in the
front bumper, the parking lights and the lice
nce plate light do not come on when acti-
vating the function daylight drivin
g lights (neither front nor rear).
If the vehicle is not equipped with separate lights* for daylight driving lights, the combination of the low beam, the parking ligh
ts (front and rear) including the licence
plate light is used as daylight driving lights.
In some countries, the national
legal provisions require that the rear parking lights also
come on together with the separate lights* for daylight driving lights when activating the function daylight driving lights.Halogen projector headlights with cornering light function*For a better cornering illumination, the halogen projector headlights with cornering light function are set in the optimal position in line with the vehicle speed and the steering angle. If the warning light
 comes on while driving or after the ignition is switched on, a
fault is confirmed.
WARNING
If there is a fault in the halogen projec
tor headlights with
cornering light func-
tion, the warning light
 lights up in the instrument cluster. The halogen
projector headlights with cornering light function are automatically lowered to the emergency position, which prevents a po
ssible dazzling of oncoming traffic.
Thus the illuminated length of the road is shortened. Drive carefully and have the car inspected immediately by a specialist garage.Tourist light*Halogen projector headlights with cornering light functionThis mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system, driving on the left/right, without dazzling the oncoming vehicles. When the mode “tourist light” is active, the side to side swivel of the headlights is deactivated.Activating tourist lightBefore activating the tourist light,
the following condit
ions must be met:
Ignition switched off, light switched off (light switch in the position O), control dial for the headlamp beam adjustment in the position
0, no gear engaged or selector lever in
the position
N (automatic gearbox), tourist light deactivated.

Fuses and light bulbs
200
Caution
Observe the following guidelines

in “Replace fuses at the battery (automatic
gearbox)”.BulbsReplacing bulbsThe relevant lamp must always be switch
ed off before a light bulb is replaced.
Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb).
Use a clean cloth, serviette or something
similar. Defect light bulbs should only be replaced
with light bulbs of the same type. The desig-
nation is located on the ligh
t socket or the glass bulb.
Changing certain bulbs is not something whic
h you can do yourself, but requires to be
done by a specialist. Other parts of the vehicle must be removed in order to change the light bulbs. This applies, in particular, to
bulbs which can only be reached from the
engine compartment. We therefore recommend that you have any
bulbs changed by a specialist garage or,
in exceptional cases, by calling
on other professional assistance.
Please note that the engine compartment is a hazardous area
page 166, “Working
in the engine compartment”. We recommend that you always have a small box of replacement bulbs in your vehicle. You can obtain replacement bulbs from Škoda
original accessories or from a specialist
garage
15).
A stowage place for the bulbs is located in the box in the spare wheel.Bulb - Overview15)The small box with replacement bulbs is part of
the basic equipping of th
e vehicle in some coun-
tries.
