Fuses and light bulbsElectric fusesReplacing fuses
Defect fuses must be replaced.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 engine
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. 143 or the fuse cover in the engine compartment page 157.
– Find out which fuse belongs to the relevant component page 158, “Fuse
assignment in the dash panel” or page 157, “Fuse assignment in engine
compartment”.
– Take the plastic clip out of its fixture in the fuse cover, insert it onto the respec- tive 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 Škoda original accessories or from
a specialist garage

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 garage
if a newly inserted fuse bl ows again after a short time.
