Lights and Visibility62
– On the version without reading lights press the switch to the
right, the symbol O appears.
Reading lights 
– Press on one of the switches ⇒page 61, fig. 40 in order to
switch the right or left reading light on or off.
Lighting of storage compartme nt on the front passenger side
– When opening the flap of the st orage compartment on the front
passenger side the lighting in the storage compartment comes on.
– The light switches on automatically when the parking light is
switched on and goes out when the flap is closed.
The interior light is switched on for about 20 seconds when a vehicle with a central locking system is unlocked, when a door is opened or when the ignition key is removed. The requirement for this is that the switch is in the door contact position. The inner light goes out out immediately after the ignition is switched on.
A time delay switch* causes the inner lighting on vehicles without a central locking system stays on for a few seconds after the doors have been closed. The inner light goes out out immediately after the ignition is switched on.
The interior lighting is switched off after about 30 minutes when a door has been left open in order to avoid discharging the battery of the vehicle.
Rear interior li ghting* - type 1
The rear interior lighting ⇒fig. 41 is actuated by moving the switch to the symbol , O or to the middle position .
The same principles apply for the interior lighting at the rear as for the for the interior lighting at the front ⇒page 61.
Note
We recommend having the bulb replaced by a specialist garage.

Luggage compartment light
The lighting comes on automatically when the tailgate is opened. The luggage compartment lighting will switch off agai n automatically if the boot lid remains open for more than about 30 minutes.

Rear window heater
– Press switch  ⇒fig. 43 to switch on the rear window heater.
The rear window heater only operates when the engine is running. An indicator light in the switch is illuminated when the rear window heater is switched on.
The rear window heater switches off automatically after 20 minutes. If you press the switch  once again, the rear window heater is switched on perma- nently - the automatic deactivation is thus deactivated.
For the sake of the environment
You should switch off the rear window heater as soon as the rear window is clear. The reduced current consumption will have a favourable effect on fuel economy ⇒page 178, “Saving electricity”.

Inspecting and Replenishing208
There is a risk of injuries, scalding, accidents and burns when carrying out any work on the battery and on the electrical system. For this reason, it is essential to comply with the warning instructions ⇒ stated below and with the general applicable rules of safety.
WARNING
•The battery acid is strongly corros ive and must, therefore, be handled with the greatest of care. Always wear protective gloves, eye and skin protection when handling batteries. Corrosive fumes in the air irritate the air passages and lead to conjunctivitis and inflammation of the air passages in the lungs. Battery acid corrodes dental enamel and creates deep wounds after contact with the skin which take a long time to heal. Repeated contact with diluted acids causes skin diseases (inflamma-tions, ulcers, slin cracks). Acids coming into contact with water are diluted accompanied by significant development of heat.
•Do not tilt the battery otherwise battery electrolyte may flow out of the battery vent openings . Protect the eyes with safety glasses or a shield! There is the danger of suffer ing blindness! If any battery electro- lyte gets into your eye, rinse out yo ur eye immediately with clear water for several minutes. Contact a doctor without delay.
•S pl a she s of ac id o n yo ur s ki n or clo the s sho uld be ne u tra li se d a s s oo n as possible using soap suds and then rinsed with plenty of water. Contact a doctor immediately if you swallow battery electrolyte.
•Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
•Hydrogen is released when you charge a battery and a highly explo- sive gas mixture is produced. An explosion can be caused through spar-kling over during unclamping or loos ening of the cable plug while the ignition is on.
•Bridging of the poles will create a short circuit (e.g. through metal objects, cables). Possible consequences of a short circuit: Melting of lead struts, explosion and burning of the battery, jets of acid spurting out.
•It is prohibited to work with a naked flame and light, to smoke or to carry out any activities which produce sparks. Avoid creating sparks
when working with cables and electric al devices. Strong sparking repre- sents a risk of injury.
•Before carrying out any work on the electrical system, switch off the engine, the ignition as well as all electrical components and disconnect the negative cable (-) on the battery. If you wish to replace a bulb it is sufficient to switch off the appropriate light.
•Never charge a frozen or thawed battery - risk of explosion and caustic burns! Replace a frozen battery.
•Never use a battery which is damaged - risk of explosion! Immedi- ately replace a damaged battery.
Caution
•You must only disconnect the battery if the ignition is switched off, other- wise the electrical system (electroni c components) of the vehicle may be damaged. When disconnecting the battery from the electrical system of the vehicle, first disconnect th e negative terminal (-) of the battery. Then disconnect the positive terminal (+).
•When reconnecting the battery, first connect the positive terminal (+) and only then the negative terminal (-) of the battery. You must on no account connect the cables wrongly - risk of a cable fire.
•Ensure that battery acid does not come into contact with the vehicle body otherwise damage could occur to the paintwork.
•Do not place the battery in direct daylight in order to protect the battery housing from the effects of ultra-violet light.
For the sake of the environment
A removed battery is a special type of waste which is harmful to the environ- ment - we recommend that you contact your Škoda Service Partner regarding disposing of the battery.

Electric fuses
Replacing fuses in the dash panel
Defect fuses must be replaced.
Individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are
located on the left side of the dash panel behind the safety cover.
– Switch the ignition off and also the electrical component affected.
– Carefully swivel the cover in the direction of arrow and pull it out
⇒ fig. 166.
– Find out which fuse belongs to the component which is not oper-
ating ⇒page 236, “Fuse assignment in the dash panel”.
– 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 their melted metal strips. Replace
the defect fuse by a new fuse of the same ampere number.
– Insert the fuse cover into the dash panel in such a way that the
guide lugs are guided into the open ings of the dash panel and then
lock them by pressing.
We recommend that you carry the box of replacement fuses with you which was delivered in your vehicle. You can obtain replacement fuses 6) from a Škoda Service Partner.

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.
Note
We recommend that you have these fuse s replaced by a specialist garage.
