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.

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 light 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. Other 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 calling on other professional 
assistance.
Please note that the engine compartment is a hazardous area 
⇒ page 210, “Working in the engine compartment”. We recommend that you carry the set of light bulbs with you which was 
delivered in your vehicle. Replacement light bulbs 
8) are available at a 
Škoda Service Partner.
The set of light bulbs can be stowed in the locable box in the spare wheel.
