Fuses and light bulbs

Caution
Observe the following guidelines
in “Replace fuses at the battery (automatic
gearbox)”.BulbsReplacing bulbsThe 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 bulb).
Use a clean cloth, serviette or something
similar. Defect light bulbs should only be replaced
with light bulbs of the same type. The desig-
nation is located on the ligh
t socket or the glass bulb.
Changing certain bulbs is not something whic
h 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 specialist garage or,
in exceptional cases, by calling
on other professional assistance.
Please note that the engine compartment is a hazardous area
page 166, “Working
in the engine compartment”. We recommend that you always have a small box of replacement bulbs in your vehicle. You can obtain replacement bulbs from Škoda
original accessories or from a specialist
garage

A stowage place for the bulbs is located in the box in the spare wheel.Bulb - Overview15)The small box with replacement bulbs is part of
