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.

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.
