If your vehicle has to be towed – Engage 2nd or 3rd gear wi
th the vehicle stationary.
– Depress the clutch pedal fully and keep it depressed. – Switch on the ignition.– Wait until both vehicles are movi
ng then release the clutch pedal
slowly.
– Depress the clutch pedal fully when the engine fires and take the
vehicle out of gear.
For technical reasons it is not possib
le to tow-start a car fitted with an
automatic
gearbox
.WARNING
There is high risk of having an accident when tow-starting a vehicle, when for example the towed vehicle runs into the towing vehicle.
Caution
Vehicles which are fitted with a catalytic
converter should not be tow-started over
a d i s t a n c e o f m o re t h a n 5 0 m e t re s . U n b u r n
t fuel may get into the catalytic converter
and damage it.Towing in a vehicle fitted with a manual gearboxPlease refer to the notes

Fuses and light bulbsElectric fusesReplacing fuses Defect fuses must be replaced.Individual electrical circuits are prot
ected 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. 228
or the fuse cover in the engine compartment
⇒
page 257, fig. 229
.
– Find out which fuse belongs to the relevant component
⇒
page 260,
“Fuse assignment in the dash panel”,
⇒
page 257, “Fuse assignment
in engine compartment - version 1” or
⇒
page 259, “Fuse assignment
in engine compartment - version 2”.
– Take the plastic clip out of its fixture in the fuse cover, insert it onto the
respective fuse and pull out this fuse.
– Defect fuses can be detected by th
eir melted metal st
rips. 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
17).
Colour coding of fuses
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 blows again after a short time.

switch on again automatically after a few seconds after the overload has been eliminated.
BulbsChanging bulbsThe relevant lamp must always be switch
ed off before a light bulb is replaced.
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 wh
ich 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 an
y bulbs changed by an authorised Škoda
Service Partner or, in exceptional cases, by
calling on other professional assistance.
Please note that the engine co
mpartment is a hazardous area
⇒page 223,
“Working in the engine compartment”. We recommend that you always have a sm
all box of replacement bulbs in your
vehicle. You can obtain replacement bulbs from Škoda original accessories or from a specialist garage

Vehicle identification number (VIN) The vehicle identification num
ber - VIN (vehicle body number) is stamped into the
engine compartment on the right hand shoc
k absorber dome. This number is also
located on a sign on the lower left hand
edge below the windscreen (together with
a VIN bar code).
Engine number The engine number is stam
ped into the engine block.

middle pillar of the body.
Homologation sign The homologation sign is located on the lock carrier. Vehicles for certain countries do not have an homologation sign. Sticker on inside of fuel filler flap The stickers are affixed to the inside of the fuel filler flap. They contain the following data:•
The prescribed types of fuel,
•

•
Tyre pressure.
Fuel consumption according to the regulations (99/100/EU)Depending on the range of the special equipment, style of driving, traffic situation, weather influences and vehi
cle condition, the consumpt
ion values which in prac-
tice result when using the vehicle ca
n deviate from the indicated values.
Urban traffic The consumption measurement in urban traf
fic begins with starting of the cold
engine. Afterwards the normal
urban traffic is simulated.
Non-urban traffic For the consumption measurement in non-ur
ban traffic the vehicle, as in daily
motoring, is accelerated and braked several times in all gears. The vehicle speed changes within the range from 0 to 120 km/h.
