Allow the air compressor to run until a pressure of 2.0 - 2.5 bar is achieved. Max-
imum run time of 8 minutes » !
›
Switch off the air compressor.
›
If you cannot reach an air pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar, unscrew the tyre inflation
hose
5
from the tyre valve.
›
Drive the vehicle 10 metres forwards or backwards to allow the sealing agent to
“distribute” in the tyre.
›
Firmly screw the tyre inflation hose
5
back onto the tyre valve and repeat the
inflation process.
›
If you cannot reach the required tyre inflation pressure here either, this means
the tyre has sustained too much damage. You cannot seal with tyre with the breakdown kit »
.
›
Switch off the air compressor.
›
Remove the tyre inflation hose
5
from the tyre valve.
Once a tyre inflation pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar is achieved, continue the journey at
a maximum speed of 80 km/h.
Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving for 10 minutes » page 194.
WARNING■
During inflation, the tyre inflation hose and air compressor may get hot- risk
of injury!■
Do not place the hot tyre inflation hose or hot air compressor on flammable
materials – risk of fire!
■
If you cannot inflate the tyre to at least 2.0 bar, this means the damage sus-
tained was too serious. The sealing agent cannot be used to seal the tyre. 
Do not drive the vehicle. Seek help from a ŠKODA specialist garage!
CAUTION
Switch off the air compressor after running 8 minutes at the latest – danger of
overheating! Allow the air compressor to cool a few minutes before switching it
on again.
Check after driving for 10 minutes
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 192.
Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving for 10 minutes!
If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or less:
›
 Do not drive the vehicle! You cannot properly seal with tyre with the break-
down kit.
›
Seek help from a ŠKODA specialist garage.
If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or more:
›
Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to the correct value (see inside of fuel filler cap).
›
Continue driving carefully to the nearest ŠKODA specialist garage at a maximum
speed of 80 km/h.

Fuses
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.
