Fuse assignment at battery
Certain electrical components are only standard on certain vehicle model versions or only suppliable as op tional equipment for certain models.
Bulbs
Replacing 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 li ght 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. Ot her 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 Service Partner or, in exceptional cases, by ca lling on other professional assistance.
Please note that the engine compartment is a hazardous area ⇒page 198, “Working in the engine compartment”.
We recommend that you carry the set of light bulbs with you which was deliv- ered in your vehicle. Replacement light bulbs 7) are available at a Škoda Service Par tner.
The set of light bulbs can be stowed in the locable box in the spare wheel.
