Fuses and light bulbsElectric fusesReplacing fuses in the dash panel
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.
– Switch the ignition off and also the electrical component affected.
– Carefully swivel the cover in the direction of arrow and pull it out fig. 156 .
– Find out which fuse belongs to th e component which is not operating page 192,
“Fuse assignment in the dash panel”.
– 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.
– Insert the fuse cover into the dash pane l in such a way that the guide lugs are
guided into the openings of the dash panel and then lock them by pressing.
We recommend that you always have the small box of replacement fuses in your
vehicle. You can obtain replacement fuses from the range of Škoda original parts or
from a specialist garage
15). Colour coding of fuses
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.Note
We recommend that you have these fuse s replaced by a specialist garage.

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.
