Function DAY LIGHT (daytime running lights) 35
Fog lights 35
Rear fog light 35
Headlamp range adjustment 36
Turn signal and main beam lever 36
Parking light 37
Fog lights with the function CORNER 37
Switches for the hazard warning light system 37
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in » Fig. 18 on page 34. The symbols which mark the switch po-
sitions are identical, however. WARNING
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright enough
to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other oncom-
ing traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is dark or if visi-
bility is poor. CAUTION
■ The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with na-
tional legal requirements.
■ The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the lights. Note
■ If the light switch is in the position , the ignition key is removed and the driv-
er's door is open, an audible warning signal will sound. The audible warning signal
is switched off by means of the door contact when the driver's door is closed (ig-
nition off), however, the side lights remain on to illuminate the parked vehicle if
necessary. ■ In the event of cool or humid weather conditions, the headlights can be misted
up from inside. The temperature difference between interior and external area of
the headlight lenses is decisive. When the driving lights are switched on, the light
outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the headlight
lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. It also concerns reverse light
and turn signal lights. This mist has no influence on the life of the lighting system. Ð Switching lights on and off

Replacing the fuses in the engine compartment 159
Individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses.
› Before replacing a fuse, switch off the ignition and the appropriate consumer
› Find out which fuse belongs to the component that is not operat-
ing » page 157 , Fuses in the dash panel or » page 159 , Replacing the fuses in
the engine compartment .
› Take the plastic clip out of its fixture in the cover of the fuse box, place it on the
relevant fuse and pull it out.
› A blown fuses is recognisable by the molten metal strip. Replace the faulty fuse
with a new one of the
same amperage.

Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the en-
gine compartment » page 126, Engine compartment . CAUTION
■ Never “repair” fuses and also do not replace them with a fuse of a higher am-
perage - 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 ŠKODA specialist
garage if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time. 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. Ð

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Headlights 160
Changing the bulb for the low beam 160
Changing the bulb for main beam, separate daytime running lights, and
parking light 161
Changing the bulb for the front turn signal light 161
Changing light bulbs for fog lights 162
Changing the bulb for the licence plate light 162
Tail lamp assembly 163
Replacing the bulbs in the tail lamp assembly 163
Some manual skills are required to change a bulb. For this reason, if uncertain, we
recommend that bulbs are replaced by a ŠKODA specialist garage or other expert
help is sought.
› Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before replacing a bulb.
› Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-
tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
› A stowage compartment for replacement bulbs is located in a plastic box in the
spare wheel or underneath the floor covering in the boot. WARNING
■ Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not sufficiently
illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficulty by other
road users.
■ Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment »

page 126, Engine compartment .
■ Bulbs H7 and H15 are pressurised and may burst when changing the bulb -
risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety glasses
when changing a bulb. £
