WARNING■Work on your vehicle, which have been carried out unprofessionally, can
cause operational faults – risk of accident!■
We recommend you only use ŠKODA original accessories and ŠKODA original
parts on your vehicle. Only by doing so can you guarantee reliability, safety
and suitability.
■
ŠKODA cannot assume any liability for products which have not been ap-
proved by ŠKODA even though these may be products with a type approval or
have been approved by a nationally recognised testing laboratory.

Repairs and technical modifications
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 165.
Any damage caused by technical changes made without consent by ŠKODA is ex-
cluded from the warranty – see the warranty certificate.
Interference on the electronic components and their software can lead to opera-
tional faults. This interference can also impair not directly affected systems be- cause of the networking of the electronic components. In other words, the vehi-
cle's roadworthiness may be put at risk and increased wear on parts may arise.
Repairs and technical modifications must comply with ŠKODA guidelines.
WARNING■ Repairs and technical modifications which have been carried out unprofes-
sionally, can cause damage and can seriously impair the effectiveness of driv-
er assist system – risk of accident and serious injury!■
We recommend having these repairs and modifications replaced by a ŠKODA
specialist garage.
For the sake of the environmentTechnical documents regarding changes carried out on the vehicle must be kept
by the vehicle user, in order to be handed over to the recyclers later. This ensures
that vehicle recycling is in accordance with environmental regulations.
Changes and impairments of the airbag system
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 165.
We recommend that any modifications and repairs to the front bumper, doors, front seats, headliner or bodywork be carried out by a ŠKODA Partner. These vehi-
cle parts may include system components for the airbag system.
WARNING■ Airbag modules cannot be repaired, but must be replaced.■Repairs and modifications which have been carried out unprofessionally, can
cause damage, operational faults, and can also seriously impair the effective- ness of airbag system – risk of accident and fatal injury!■
Never install any airbag parts into the vehicle that have been removed from
old cars or have been recycled.
■
A modification to the suspension of the vehicle including the use of non-ap-
proved rim-tyre combinations can alter the functioning of the airbag and in-
crease the risk of serious or fatal injuries in an accident.
■
Parts of the airbag system may be damaged during installation/removal of
system parts and when performing other repair work. This may mean that the
airbags will not deploy properly or not at all in the event of an accident.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Fuses in the dash panel
200
Fuses in the engine compartment
201
Individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses.
› Switch off the ignition and the appropriate consumer before changing a fuse.
› Find out which fuse belongs to the component that is not operat-
ing » page 200 , Fuses in the dash panel or » page 201 , Fuses in the engine
compartment .
› Take the plastic clip located under the cover of the fuse box in the engine com-
partment, insert into the fuse and remove it » Fig. 173 on page 201.
› A blown fuses is recognisable by the molten metal strip. Replace the faulty fuse
with a new one of the same amperage.
The plastic clip can be found underneath the cover of the fuse box in the engine
compartment » Fig. 173 on page 201.
Electrically adjustable seats are protected by automatic circuit breakers, which
switch on again automatically after a few seconds after the overload has been
eliminated.

CAUTION
■
Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a ŠKODA specialist
garage if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.■
The cover for the fuse box in the engine compartment must always be applied
correctly. If the cover is not replaced properly, water may get into the fuse box -
risk of vehicle damage!
■
Never repair fuses and also do not replace them with a fuse of a higher amper-
age - risk of fire! A different electrical system could be damaged.
Note
■ We recommend always carrying replacement fuses in the vehicle. A box of re-
placement fuses can be purchased from ŠKODA Original Accessories.■
Multiple fuses may exist for a single power consuming device.
■
Multiple power consuming devices can share a single fuse.
