Emergency programme
An emergency programme exists in the event of a fault in the sys-
tem.
The gearbox operates in a corresponding emergency programme if there are func-
tional faults in the gearbox electronics. This is indicated by all of the segments in
the display lighting up or going out.
A functional fault can have the following effect:
● The gearbox only shifts into certain gears.
● The reverse gear R cannot be used.
● The manual shift programme (Tiptronic) is switched off in the emergency
mode.
If the gearbox has switched over to emergency mode, drive to the nearest spe-
cialist garage in order to have the fault rectified. 
Selector lever-emergency unlocking Fig. 109 Selector lever-emergency un-
locking
In case of interruption of the power supply (e.g. flat vehicle battery, defective
fuse) or defect of the selector lever lock, the selector lever can no longer be shif-
ted from the position P in the normal way and the vehicle can no longer be moved.
The selector lever must be unlocked in case of emergency.
– Apply the handbrake firmly.
– Open the storage compartment in front centre console or the front ashtray.
– Carefully pull up the front left and right cover. –
Pull up rear cover.
– Use a finger to press the yellow plastic part in direction of arrow ⇒  fig. 109 .
– Simultaneously press the shiftlock button in the handle of the selector lever
and shift the lever into the position N (if the selector lever is shifted again into
the position P , it is once again blocked).  113

Fuses and light bulbs
Electric fuses Replacing fuses in the dash panel Defect fuses must be replaced.
Fig. 176 Fuse cover: left side of the dash
panel
Individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are located on the
left side of the dash panel behind the safety cover and under the cover in the en-
gine compartment on the left.
– Switch the ignition off and also the electrical component affected.
– Use a screwdriver to take off the fuse cover on the side of the dash panel
⇒  fig. 176 or the fuse cover in the engine compartment ⇒ page 211.
– Find out which fuse belongs to the relevant component ⇒ page 213, Fuse as-
signment in the dash panel or ⇒ page 212, Fuse assignment in engine compart-
ment.
– Take the plastic clip out of its fixture in the fuse cover, insert it onto the re-
spective fuse and pull out this fuse.
– Defect fuses can be detected by their melted metal strips. Replace the defect
fuse by a new fuse of the same ampere number.
– Fit on the fuse cover again.
We recommend that you always have the small box of replacement fuses in your
vehicle. You can obtain replacement fuses from the range of

ŠKODA Original Parts
or from a specialist garage. Colour coding of fuses Colour Maximum amperage

CAUTION
● Never attempt to
“repair” fuses and also do not replace them with a fuse of a
higher amperage - 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 ga-
rage if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time. 

Removing fuse cover
–
Move the circlips A ⇒ 
fig. 177 as far as the stop, the symbol  appears behind
the circlip and remove the cover.
Installing fuse cover
– Position the fuse cover on the fuse box and push the circlips A as far as the
stop - the symbol  is visible behind the circlip. CAUTION
● When unlocking and locking the fuse cover, it must be pressed on the sides to
the box, otherwise damage can occur to the locking mechanism.
● Carefully position the fuse cover in the engine compartment. If the cover was
not correctly positioned, water can get into the fuses and this results in a damage
to the vehicle! 

Electrically adjustable seats are protected by
automatic circuit breakers, which
switch on again automatically after a few seconds after the overload has been
eliminated. 
Bulbs Changing bulbs The relevant lamp must always be switched off before a light bulb is replaced.
Defect light bulbs should only be replaced with light bulbs of the same type. The
designation is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
Changing certain bulbs is not something which 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 an authorised
ŠKODA
Service Partner or, in exceptional cases, by calling on other professional
assistance.
Please note that the engine compartment is a hazardous area ⇒ page 181, Work-
ing in the engine compartment.
We recommend that you always have a small box of replacement bulbs in your ve-
hicle. You can obtain replacement bulbs from ŠKODA Original Accessories or from
a specialist garage.
A stowage place for the bulbs is located in the box in the spare wheel.
Fitted with a xenon headlight
Change of bulbs on vehicles with Xenon lights (low beam lights, parking lights and
main beam lights) should be undertaken by a specialist garage.
