Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
– Slacken the wheel bolt, or tighten it firmly ⇒page 241.
– Reinstall the full wheel trim/wheel cap after removing the adapter or place the cap onto the safety wheel bolt.
– Have the tightening torque checked with a torque wrench as
soon as possible. Steel and light alloy wheels must be tight-
ened to a tightening torque of 120 Nm.
The safety wheel bolts on vehicles fitted with them (one safety wheel bolt
per wheel) can only be loosened or tighten up by using the adapter
provided.
It is meaningful to note the code number hammered into the rear side of
the adapter or the rear side of the safety wheel bolts. You can obtain a
replacement adapter from a Škoda Service Partner, if necessary, by
quoting this number.
We recommend that you always carry the adapter for the wheel bolts with
you in the vehicle. It should be stowed in the vehicle tool kit.
Caution
•Damage can occur to the adapter and safety wheel bolt if the safety
wheel bolt is tightened up too much.
•On steel wheels, the theft-deterrent wheel bolt must always be
installed in the hole, which is close to the valve. Otherwise the full wheel
trim cannot be mounted and the full wheel trim can be damaged during the
assembly.
Note
The set of safety wheel bolts can be obtained from a Škoda Service
Partner.
Jump-starting
Initial steps
You can use the battery of another vehicle for jump-starting yours if the
engine does not start because the battery on your vehicle is flat. You will
require jump-start cables for this purpose.
Both batteries must have a rated voltage of 12 V. The capacity (Ah) of the
battery supplying the power must not be significantly less than the
capacity of the discharged battery in your vehicle.
Jump-start cables
Only use jump-start cables which have an adequately large cross-section
and insulated terminal clamps. Please pay attention to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Positive cable - colour coding in the majority of cases red.
Negative cable - colour coding in the majority of cases black.
WARNING
•A discharged battery may already freeze at temperatures just
below 0°C. In case of frozen battery carry out no jump-starting - risk
of explosion! Also after thawing of the battery there is a risk of
caustic burns due to leaking acid. Replace the frozen battery.
•Please pay attention to the warning instructions relating to
working in the engine compartment ⇒page 210.
Note
•There must not be any contact between the two vehicles otherwise
current may flow as soon as the negative terminals are connected.

Fuses and light bulbs
250
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 fuses replaced by a specialist
garage.
