Electrically adjustable seats are protected by automatic circuit
breakers , which switch on again automatically after a few seconds after
the overload has been eliminated.
Bulbs
Changing bulbs
The relevant lamp must always be switched 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 which you can do yourself, but
requires to be done by a specialist. Other parts of the vehical 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 248.
We recommend that you carry the set of light bulbs with you which was
delivered in your vehicle. Replacement light bulbs
13) are available at
specialist garages.
The set of light bulbs is stowed in the locable box in the spare wheel.
Fitted with a xenon headlight
Change of light bulbs on Xenon lights (low beam lights, parking lights and
main beam lights) should be undertaken by a specialist garage.
