ing » page 168 , Fuses in the dash panel or » page 170 , Fuses in the engine
compartment .

engine compartment » page 138.
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 elec-
trical system.■
Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist ga-
rage if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.
■
A blown fuses is recognisable by the molten metal strip. Replace the faulty
fuse with a new one of the same amperage.
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.
■
A single consumer may use several fuses.

The fuses are located on the left side of the dash panel behind a cover.
› Carefully remove the cover in the direction of the arrow
» Fig. 150.

opposite direction of the arrow so that the guide lugs are guided into the
openings of the dash panel. Close the cover until it clicks into place. 

WARNING■Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment » page 138.■
Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-
ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficul-
ty by other road users.
■
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.
■
Switch off the respective vehicle light when changing the 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,
napkin, 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 pos-
sible 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 vehi-
cle. Replacement bulbs can be purchased from ŠKODAOriginal Accessories.
■
We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage
after replacing a bulb in the main beam, low beam or fog lights.
■
Visit a specialist garage if an LED is faulty.
