GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Wear eye protection. Pro-
tect your eyes, skin and
clothing from sprays from
particles which contain
acid or lead.
Battery acid is extremely
caustic. Wear protective
gloves and eye protec-
tion. Do not tilt the bat-
tery otherwise acid may flow out of
the vent openings. If acid splashes
into your eyes, rinse them immedi-
ately for a few minutes with clear
water and then contact a doctor with-
out delay. If acid splashes onto your
skin or clothing, neutralise it imme-
diately with soap suds and wash off
with plenty of water. If you swallow
acid, contact a doctor without delay. A highly explosive hydro-
gen is produced when bat-
teries are charged, which
in combination with air pro-
duces an explosive gas mixture.
No fire, sparks, naked flames
or smoking. Avoid sparks
when handling cables and
electrical equipment. Avoid
short circuits. Risk of injury from high-
powered sparks.

It is essential to disconnect the
negative cable at the battery before
performing any work on the electri-
cal system. When changing bulbs, it
is sufficient only to switch off the
light.


Installation is carried out in the reverse
order. When re-connecting the battery, re-
fer to the Notes on page 148.
It is not recommended to remove and in-
stall the battery (even if the instructions
in the Owner’s Manual are followed) be-
cause severe damage to the battery and
fuse box may result in certain circum-
stances. Contact your Škoda Dealership
for this work. Keep acid and battery away
from children.

FusesThe individual electrical circuits are pro-
tected by fuses.
The fuses are located on the left-hand face
end of the instrument cluster below the co-
ver.
Space is provided on the right for spare fu-
ses - see page 168.
Additional fuses are located in the engine
compartment on the battery. We recom-
mend having these fuses replaced by a
Škoda Dealer.Replacing a fuse
Switch off the ignition and the relevant
electrical component.

To remove the cover, place a screwdriver
against the cover (arrow on cover) and ca-
refully lever it off.

Refer to the list of fuses as shown in il-
lustration to find which fuse belongs to the
faulty component - see illustration on page
168.

Remove the blown fuse.

A blown fuse is recognizable from the
melted metal strip - replace with a new fuse
of the same rating.
Notes

If a newly inserted fuse blows again af-
ter a short time, the electrical system should
then be inspected as soon as possible by
a Škoda Dealer.

On no account „repair“ fuses as this may
cause major damage to another point of the
electrical system.

Certain of the electrical components
listed are fitted only to particular model
versions or are optional equipment.

We recommend always carrying with
you a box with replacement fuses, which is
available from Škoda Dealers
1).
1)In certain countries the box with replacement
fuses is part of the basic equipment.
Warning
If the fire extinguisher is not correctly
attached, in case of sudden manoeu-
vres or an accident, it can be thrown
through the interior compartment
and cause injuries.

Notes
The fuse assignment differs depending on
the version of your car.
The pliers for removing fuses and replace-
ment fuses are not contained in the car
equipment.
Replacing a bulbThe relevant light should always be swit-
ched off first of all before replacing a bulb.
Do not grasp the glass of the bulb with your
bare fingers (even the minutest spot of dirt
reduces the operational life of the bulb).
Use a clean cloth, napkin or similar.
A bulb should only be replaced by a lamp
of the same design . The designation is
given on the base of the bulb or on the
glass.
Warning
H4 bulbs are pressurized and may
burst when they are replaced. For
this reason, always wear gloves and
eye protection when changing a H4
bulb. Models with Xenon headlamps*
If your car is fitted with xenon head-
lights, have the bulb (low beam, side
light and main beam) replaced by a
Škoda dealer.
We recommend always carrying with you in
the car a box with a set of spare bulbs, which
you received together with your car, or which
is available from your Škoda Dealer
1).
1)The small box of replacement light bulbs are part
of the basic equipping of the vehicle in some
countries
