WARNING
•If you find yourself in flowing traffic switch on the hazard warning lights
system and place the warning triangle on the side of the road at the
prescribed distance from your vehicl e while observing all national legal
provisions. In this way you are protecting not only yourself but also other
road users.
•Never start the engine with the vehicle sitting on the raised jack - danger
of suffering injury!
Caution
If you have to change a wheel on a slope first block the opposite wheel with a stone
or similar object in order to secure th e vehicle from unexpectedly rolling away.
Note
Comply with the national legal regulations.
Changing a wheel
Always change a wheel on a level surface as far as possible.
– Take off the full wheel trim* ⇒page 211 or the caps ⇒page 211.
– In the case of light alloy wheels remove the wheel trim cap ⇒page 211.
– Slacken the wheel bolts ⇒page 212.
– Jack up the vehicle until the wheel to be changed is clear of the ground
⇒ page 213.
– Unscrew the wheel bolts and place them on a clean surface (cloth, paper etc.).
– Take off the wheel. – Fit on the spare wheel and tighten the wheel bolts slightly.
– Lower the car.
– Tighten the wheel bolts firmly, al
ternately and diagonally using the
wheel wrench ⇒page 212.
– Mount the full wheel trim/w heel trim cap or the caps.
Note
•All bolts must be clean and must turn easily.
•You must never grease or oil the wheel bolts!
•When fitting on unidirectional tyres, ensure that the tyres rotate in the correct
direction ⇒page 199.
Subsequent steps
After changing the wheel, you must perform the following steps.
– Stow and attach the replaced wheel in the spare wheel well.
– Stow the vehicle tool kit in the space provided.
– Check the tyre pressure on the spare wheel just mounted as soon as
possible.
– Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked with a torque
wrench as soon as possible. The tightening torque for steel and light
alloy wheels must be 120 Nm.
– Have the defective tyre repaired as soon as possible.
WARNING
It is necessary to observe the guidelines given on ⇒page 201, “New tyres
and wheels” if the vehicle is subseq uently fitted with tyres which are
different to those it was fitted with at the works.

Taking off and fitting on wheel
After you have slackened the wheel bolts and have raised the car with the
car jack, replace the wheel as follows:
Changing a wheel
– Turn the wheel bolt which is farthest to the top fully out with the
hexagon socket in the screwdriver handle (car tool kit) and place the
bolt down on a clean surface ⇒fig. 196 .
– Screw the assembly pin (car t ool kit) into the vacant hole ⇒fig. 197 .
– Unscrew the remaining wheel bolts as described above. – Take off the wheel.
Fitting on wheel
– Push the spare wheel over the assembly pin.
– Screw in the wheel bolts and tighten them
slightly with the aid of the
hexagon socket.
– Unscrew the assembly pin and screw in the remaining wheel bolt also slightly.
The wheel bolts must be clean and must turn easily.
The hexagon socket in the handle of the sc rewdriver makes it simpler to fit on the
wheel bolts. The reversible blade should be pulled out for this step.
When fitting on unidirectional tyres, ensure that the tyres rotate in the correct
direction ⇒page 204.
Note
Do not use the hexagon socket in the hand le of the screwdriver for slackening or
tightening the wheel bolts.
Securing wheels against being stolen
You need a special adapter for slackening the safety wheel bolts.

Tow-starting and towing vehicle
General
Please pay attention to the following in structions if you are going to use a
tow rope:
Driver of the towing vehicle
– Do not drive off until the tow rope is taught.
– Release the clutch particularly gent ly when starting off or depress the
accelerator particularly gently if yo ur vehicle is fitted with an auto-
matic gearbox.
Driver of the towed vehicle
– Switch the ignition on so that the steering wheel is not blocked and you can also operate the turn signal lights, the headlight flasher, the
windscreen wipers and windscreen washer system.
– Take the vehicle out of gear or move the selector lever into position N
if your vehicle is fitted with an automatic gearbox.
– Note that the brake servo unit and power steering only operate if the engine is running. You will require si gnificantly greater physical force
to depress the brake pedal and to steer the vehicle if the engine is not
running.
– Ensure that the tow rope is always kept taught.
Tow rope or tow bar
A tow bar is safest way of towing a vehicle and also minimizes any shocks. You can
use a tow rope only if a suitable to w bar is not available.
The tow rope must be elastic to protect the vehicle. Thus one should only use
plastic fibre rope or a rope made out of a similarly elastic material. Attach the tow rope or the tow bar only to the
towing eyes provided for this
purpose ⇒page 218, “Front towing eye” and ⇒page 218, “Rear towing eye”.
Driving style
Towing another vehicle requires a certain amount of practice. Both drivers should
be familiar with the partic ular points about towing a vehicle. Unskilled drivers
should not attempt to tow in another vehicle or to be towed in.
One should be constantly vigi lant not to allow impermissibly high towing forces or
jerky loadings. There is always a risk of excessive stresses and damage resulting at
the points to which you attach the tow rope or tow bar when you attempt to tow a
vehicle which is not stan ding on a paved road.
Caution
If the gearbox of your vehicle no longer contains any oil because of a defect, your
vehicle must only be towed in with the driven wheels raised clear of the ground, or
on a special vehicle transporter or trailer.
Note
•Please comply with any legal requiremen ts particularly regarding the switched
on signal systems, when towing in or tow-starting another vehicle.
•The tow rope must not be twisted as it may in certain circumstances result in the
front towing eye being unscrewed out of your vehicle.

Electric fuses
Replacing fuses
Defect fuses must be replaced.
Individual electrical circuits are prot ected 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.
– Use a screwdriver to take off the fuse cover ⇒fig. 201 .
– Find out which fuse belongs to the component which is not operating ⇒page 221, “Fuse assignment”.
– 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.
–Fit on the fuse cover again.
We recommend that you carry the box of replacement fuses with you which was
delivered in your vehicle. You can obtain replacement fuses 6) from a Škoda Service
Par tner.
Colour coding of fuses
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.

The power windows and the power seats are protected by automatic circuit
breakers which switch on again automatically after a few seconds after the over-
load has been eliminated - e.g. frozen windows.
Bulbs
Changing bulbs
The relevant lamp must always be switch ed 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 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 185,
“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
7) are available at specialist garages.
Fitted with a xenon headlight
Change of light bulbs on Xenon lights (low beam lights, parking lights and main
beam lights) should be undertaken by a specialist garage.
