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

Fuses and light bulbs
196Caution
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 162, “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
16).
A stowage place for the bulbs is located in the box in the spare wheel.
