Low beam 
The indicator light  comes on when low beam is selected ⇒page 46.
Fog lights 
The warning light  comes on when the fog lights are operating ⇒page 47.

The warning light  comes on when the rear fog lights are operating ⇒page 47.
EPC fault light  (petrol engine)
The  (Electronic Power Control) warning li ght comes on for a few seconds when
the ignition is switched on.
There is a system fault in the engine control system if the warning light
 does not
go out or comes on or flashes while driving. The engine management system
selects an emergency programme which enables you to drive to the nearest
specialist garage by adopting a gentle style of driving.
The following text will be displayed in the information display*:
ENGINE WORKSHOP! (ENGINE FAULT - WORKSHOP!)
Diesel particle filter*  (diesel engine)
If the warning light  comes on, this means that soot has accumulated in the diesel
particle filter because of the frequent short distances.
In order to clean the diesel particle filter, the vehicle should be driven at an even
speed of at least 60 km/h at engine speeds of 1 800 - 2 500 rpm for 15 minutes or
until the warning light goes out with th e 4th or 5th gear engaged (automatic
gearbox: position S) when the traffic situation permits it. This increases the exhaust
temperature and the soot deposited in the diesel particle filter is burnt. Always pay attention to the valid speed limits
⇒.
The warning light
 goes out after the successful cl eaning of the diesel particle
filter.
If these conditions are not met, the warning light
 does not go out and the
warning light  begins to flash. ENGINE WORKSHOP! is shown in the informa-
tion display*. Afterwards the engine control unit shifts the engine into the emer-
gency mode, which only has a reduced power output. After switching the ignition
off and on again the warning light
 comes on.
Have the vehicle inspected without delay by your specialist garage.
WARNING
•If you do not pay attention to the wa rning light coming on and the corre-
sponding descriptions and warning notes, this may result in injuries or
major vehicle damage.
•Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
tions. The route indicated by the warning light must not tempt you to disre-
gard the national regulations for road traffic.
Caution
As long as the warning light  lights up, one must take into account an increased
fuel consumption and in certain circumst ances a power reduction of the engine.
Note
•The servicing of the diesel particle filter and the replenishing of the additive are
performed by a specialist garage in the framework of the regular inspection, see
Service shedule.
•Further information about diesel particle filter ⇒page 160, “Diesel particle
filter* (diesel engine)”.

Fuses and light bulbs
222
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.
