Caution
On vehicles with the “START/STOP” system,
the pole terminal of the charger must not
be connected directly to the negative termin
al of the vehicle battery, but only to the
engine earth
page 192, fig. 158
.
Disconnecting and reconnecting the batteryOn disconnecting and reconnecting the batt
ery the following functions are initially
deactivated or are no longer able to operate fault-free. We recommend having the vehicle checked by a specialist garage to ensure full func- tionality of all electrical systems.Replacing the batteryYou should only replace a battery with a ne
w battery of the same
capacity, voltage (12
V), amperage and of the same size. Specialist garages have a range of suitable batteries available. We recommend that you only have an old ba
ttery disposed of by a specialist garage
since it does require special disposal.
For the sake of the environment
Batteries contain poisonous substances such
as sulphuric acid and lead. They must be
disposed of in accordance with local environmental protection regulations and on no account as domestic waste.
Windshield washer systemThe windshield washer reservoir contains the
cleaning fluid for the
windscreen or rear
window and for the headlamp cleaning system*.
The reservoir is located in the front of
the engine compartment on the right side of the vehicle
fig. 146
. On some vehicles,
the reservoir is located on the left si
de of the vehicle next to the battery.
The
filling level
of the container is about 3.5 litres and about 5.4 litres on vehicles
which have a headlight washing system. Clear water is not sufficient to intensivel
y clean the windscreen and headlights. We
therefore recommend using clean washing water together with the screen cleaner from Škoda genuine accessories (in winter additionally with antifreeze) which is capable of removing stubborn
dirt. Follow the instructions for use on the packaging
when using screen cleaning products. You should always add antifreeze to the cleani
ng water in winter even
if your vehicle is
fitted with heated wind
screen washer nozzles*.
It is also possible in exceptional cases to use methylated spirits when no screen cleaner with antifreeze is available. The concentration of methylated spirits must not be more than 15 %. Please note, however, that the anti
freeze protection at this concentration is
only adequate down to -5°C.

Fuses and light bulbs
200
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
15).
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
the basic equipping of th
e vehicle in some coun-
tries.
