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 148.
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
8).
A stowage place for the bulbs is located in the box in the spare wheel*.
Fitted with a xenon headlight
Change of bulbs on vehicles with Xenon lights (low beam lights, parking lights and
main beam lights) should be und ertaken by a specialist garage.
Bulb - Overview
WARNING
Light bulbs H4 and H1 are pressurise d and may burst when changing the
bulb - risk of injury!
It is recommended to wear gloves and safety glasses when changing a bulb.
Gas discharge bulbs* (xenon bulbs) op erate with a high voltage, profes-
sional knowledge is required - danger to life!Caution
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.
Note
This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is assumed that
no major complications will arise. Other li ght bulbs should be replaced by your
specialist garage.

Partial description of the vehicle
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
The vehicle identification number - VIN (veh icle body number) is stamped into the
engine compartment on the right hand sh ock absorber dome. This number is also
located on a sign on the lowe r left hand edge below the windscreen (together with a
VIN bar code).
Engine number
The engine number is stam ped into the engine block.
Type plate (production plate)
The type plate is located in the engine compartment at the front on the left hand shock

Homologation sign
The homologation sign is located on the lock carrier. Vehicles for certain countries do
not have an homologation sign.
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 urban 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.A3A4s2rc.book Page 188 Thursday, April 22, 2010 10:58 AM
