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. 169.
– Find out which fuse belongs to the component which is not operating
⇒ page 206, “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 openings of the dash panel and then lock

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 bu lb). Use a clean cloth, serviette or some- thing 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 wh ich 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 ca lling on other professional assistance.
Please note that the engine co mpartment is a hazardous area ⇒page 173, “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.
