Notes
The fuse assignment differs depending on
the version of your car.
The pliers for removing fuses and replace-
ment fuses are not contained in the car
equipment.
Replacing a bulbThe relevant light should always be swit-
ched off first of all before replacing a bulb.
Do not grasp the glass of the bulb with your
bare fingers (even the minutest spot of dirt
reduces the operational life of the bulb).
Use a clean cloth, napkin or similar.
A bulb should only be replaced by a lamp
of the same design . The designation is
given on the base of the bulb or on the
glass.
Warning
H4 bulbs are pressurized and may
burst when they are replaced. For
this reason, always wear gloves and
eye protection when changing a H4
bulb. Models with Xenon headlamps*
If your car is fitted with xenon head-
lights, have the bulb (low beam, side
light and main beam) replaced by a
Škoda dealer.
We recommend always carrying with you in
the car a box with a set of spare bulbs, which
you received together with your car, or which
is available from your Škoda Dealer
1).
1)The small box of replacement light bulbs are part
of the basic equipping of the vehicle in some
countries
