EPC  fault light (petrol engine)
The  (Electronic Power Control) warning light comes on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched on.
There is a system fault in the engine control system if the warning light

does not go out or comes on or flashes while driving. The engine manage-
ment system selects an emergency programme which enables you to
drive to the nearest specialist garage by adopting a gentle style of driving.
The following text will be displayed in the information display*:

Diesel particle filter (diesel engine)
In the diesel particle filter the resulting soot particles are
collected and burnt during the combustion of diesel fuel.
Code 7GG on the vehicle data sticker ⇒fig. 17 indicates that
your vehicle is equipped with a diesel particle filter. The vehicle
data sticker ⇒ page 269, fig. 207 is located on the floor of the
luggage compartment and is also stated in the Service schedule.
The soot particles, which result from the combustion of diesel fuel, are
collected in the diesel particle filter . If soot particles have gathered in the
filter, the engine control unit gives the injection system a command for an
additional injection of fuel with additive into the cylinders. The additive is
located in a special reservoir in the fuel tank. A higher temperature in the
entire diesel particle filter is achieved as a result of this and thus self-igni-
tion and following combustion of soot particles occurs. The regeneration
procedure lasts about 2 to 3 minutes and is performed without driver inter-
ference.

Lights and Visibility
58
•The switching on of the described lights should only be undertaken in
accordance with the legal requirements.
•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. The headlight lenses can possibly
mist up at the border areas.
− It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights.
− This mist has no influence on the life of the lighting system.

Fuses and light bulbs

The power windows and the power seats are protected by automatic
circuit breakers which switch on again automatically after a few seconds
after the overload has been eliminated - e.g. frozen windows.
Bulbs
Changing bulbs
The relevant lamp must always be switched off before a light bulb is
replaced.
Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest
amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,
serviette or something similar.
Defect light bulbs should only be replaced with light bulbs of the same
type. The designation is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
Changing certain bulbs is not something which you can do yourself, but
requires to be done by a specialist. Other parts of the vehicle must be

removed in order to change the light bulbs. This applies, in particular, to
bulbs which can only be reached from the engine compartment.
We therefore recommend that you have any bulbs changed by a Škoda
dealer or, in exceptional cases, by calling on other professional assist-
ance.
Please note that the engine compartment is a hazardous area
⇒
page 219, “Working in the engine compartment”.
We recommend that you carry the set of light bulbs with you which was
delivered in your vehicle. Replacement light bulbs
