– Defect fuses can be detected by their melted metal strips. Replace the defect fuse
by a new fuse of the
same
ampere number.
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 an
other part of the electrical
system.
Have the electrical system checked as quickl
y as possible by a specialist garage if a
newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.
Note
We recommend that you have these fuse
s replaced by a specialist garage.
Fuse assignment at the battery (manual gearbox, automatic gearbox DSG)Certain electrical components are only standard on certain vehicle model versions or only suppliable as optional

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.

Vehicle identification number (VIN) The vehicle identification number - VIN (veh
icle body number) is stamped into the
engine compartment on the right hand sh

absorber dome. Sticker on inside of fuel filler flap The sticker is affixed to the inside of the fuel filler flap. They contain the following data:
the prescribed type of fuel;

tyre size;

tyre pressure.
Fuel consumption according to the ECE standards and EU guidelinesDepending on the range of the special equipment, style of driving, traffic situation, weather influences and vehicl
e condition, the consumption
values which in practice
result when using the vehicle can deviate from the indicated values. Urban traffic The consumption measurement in urban traffic
begins with starting of the cold engine.
Afterwards the normal ur
ban traffic is simulated.
Non-urban traffic For the consumption measurement in non-ur
ban traffic the vehicle, as in daily
motoring, is accelerated and braked severa
l times in all gears. The vehicle speed
changes within the range from 0 to 120 km/h. Combined traffic The consumption value in the combined traffic consists of 37% from the value for the urban traffic and of 63% from th
e value for the non-urban traffic.
Note
Please note that the information stated in the
official vehicle r
egistration docu-
