Fuses and light bulbsElectric fusesReplacing fuses Defect fuses must be replaced.Individual electrical circuits are protected by
fuses. The fuses are located on the left
side of the dash panel behind the safety
cover and under the cover in the engine
compartment on the left. – Switch the ignition off and also the electrical component affected. – Insert the wrench into the opening on the bottom side of the dash panel
⇒fig. 192
and remove the side cover or the cover in the engine compartment
⇒page 234.
– Find out which fuse belongs to the relevant component
⇒page 237, “Fuse assign-
ment in the dash panel”,
⇒page 234, “Fuse assignment in engine compartment -
version 1” or
⇒page 236, “Fuse assignment in engine compartment - version 2”.
– Take the plastic clip out of it
s 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 always have the
small box of replacement fuses in your
vehicle. You can obtain repl
acement fuses from Škoda original accessories or from a
specialist garage

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 caus
e 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.
