gine compartment » page 160, Engine compartment .CAUTION■
“Never repair” fuses or replace them with a fuse of a higher amperage – there is
a risk of fire. This may also cause damage at another part of the electrical system.■
Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist garage
if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.
Note
■ We recommend that you always carry replacement fuses in the vehicle. A box of
replacement fuses can be purchased from ŠKODA Original Accessories.■
One fuse may cover several consumers.
■
There can be several consumer devices for one fuse, depending on the vehicle's
equipment.
■
A single consumer may use several fuses.
■
Multiple power consuming devices can share a single fuse.

Some manual skills are required to change a bulb. For this reason, if uncertain, we recommend that bulbs are replaced by a specialist garage or other expert help is
sought.
› Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before replacing a bulb.
› Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-
tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
› A stowage compartment for replacement bulbs is located in a plastic box in the
spare wheel or underneath the floor covering in the boot.WARNING■ Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not sufficiently
illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficulty by other
road users.■
Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment » page 160, Engine compartment .
■
Bulbs H7 and H4 are pressurised and may burst when changed - there is a
risk of injury. We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety glasses when changing a bulb.
CAUTION
■ 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, nap-
kin, or similar.■
When removing and installing the number plate light and tail light make sure
that the paintwork of the vehicle and the tail light are not damaged.
Note
■ This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is possi-
ble to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other light bulbs should be changed by your specialist garage.■
We recommend that you always carry a box of replacement bulbs in the vehicle.
Replacement bulbs can be purchased from ŠKODAOriginal Accessories.
■
We recommend that the headlight settings are checked by a specialist garage
after a main beam or low beam bulb has been replaced.
■
Visit a specialist garage if an LED is faulty.
