Changing bulbs
The relevant lamp must always be switch ed off before a light bulb is replaced. Defect light bulbs should only be replaced
with light bulbs of the same type. The
designation is located on the li ght 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 compartment is a hazardous area ⇒page 210.
We recommend that you carry the set of light bulbs with you which was delivered
in your vehicle. Replacement light bulbs

The set of light bulbs can be stowed in the locable box in the spare wheel.
