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.
– Use a screwdriver to take off the fuse cover on the side of the dash panel fig. 143
or the fuse cover in the engine compartment page 170.
– Find out which fuse belongs to the relevant component page 171, “Fuse assign-
ment in the dash panel” or page 170, “Fuse assignment in engine compart-
ment”.
– 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.

Fuse cover in engine compartmentOn some vehicles, the battery cover must be removed before removing the fuse cover
 page 146.Removing fuse cover– Move the circlips fig. 144 as far as the stop, the symbol
 appears behind the
circlip and remove the cover.
Installing fuse cover– Position the fuse cover on the fuse box and push the circlips as far as the stop -
the symbol
 is visible behind the circlip.
Caution

When unlocking and locking the fuse cover, it must be pressed on the sides to the
box, otherwise damage can occur to the locking mechanism.

Carefully position the fuse cover in the engine compartment. If the cover was not
correctly positioned, water can get into the fuses and this results in a damage to the
vehicle!

BulbsChanging bulbsThe relevant lamp must always be switch ed off before a light bulb is replaced.
Defect light bulbs should only be replaced with light bulbs of the same type. The desig-
nation is located on the light 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 vehi cle 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 an authorised Škoda
Service Partner or, in exceptional cases, by calling on other professional assistance.

Please note that the engine compartment is a hazardous area
page 140, “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
9).
A stowage place for the bulbs is located in the box in the spare wheel.
Bulb - Overview
WARNING

Bulbs H7 and H1 are pressurised and may burst when changing the bulb -
risk of injury!

It is recommended to wear gloves and safety glasses when changing a bulb.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.

Vehicle identification number (VIN)
The vehicle identification num ber - VIN (chassis number) is stamped into the engine
compartment on the right hand shock absorb er dome. This number is also located on
a sign on the lower left hand edge below the windscreen.
Engine number
The engine number is stam ped into the engine block.
Type plate (production plate)
The type plate is located in the lowe r area of the left centre column.
Sticker on inside of fuel filler flap
The stickers are affixed to the inside of the fuel filler flap and contain the following
information:
The prescribed types of fuel,

Ty re s i z e ,

Tyre pressure.
Fuel consumption based on ECE regulations and EC 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.
DimensionsDimensions (mm)Engine oil specificationsThe grade of engine oil should be selected in accordance with precise
specifications.The engine of your vehicle has been factory-filled with a high-grade oil which you can
use throughout the year - except in extreme climatic regions.
You can mix various oils together with each ot her when refilling with oil. This does not,
however, apply for models with flexible service intervals (QG1).
Engine oils are, of course, undergoing continuous further development. Thus the
information stated in this Owner's Manual is only correct at the time of publication.

Technical Data
Authorised Škoda Service Partners are inform
ed by Škoda Auto about current changes.
This why you should always have engine oi l changed by an authorised Škoda Service
Par tner.
The specifications (VW standards) stated in the following must be indicated separately
or together with other specifications on the bottle.
Engine oil specifications for models with flexible service intervals (QG1)
Engine oil specifications for vehicles with fixed service intervals (QG2)
If the oils specified above are not available, oils according to ACEA A2 or ACEA A3 can
be used once for refilling. ACEA A3.
If the oils specified above are not available, oils according to ACEA B3 or ACEA B4 can
be used once for refilling.
Caution
Only the previously-mentioned oils may be used on vehicles with flexible service inter-
vals (QG1). We recommend always refilling with oil of the same specification since this
will maintain the properties of the oil. In ex ceptional cases, you must top up only once
engine oil complying with Specification VW 502 00 (only for petrol engines) or Specifi-
cation VW 505 01 (only for diesel engines) to maximum 0.5 litres. You must not use
other engine oils - risk of engine damage!
Note

Before a long drive we recommend that you purchase and carry with you engine
oil which complies with the specification for your vehicle. Consequently, you will
always have the correct engine oil for refilling.

We recommend using a preser vative from the Škoda original accessories offered
by your Škoda dealer.
