Open the positive terminal cover (+) ⇒ fig. 155 - left.
– Press onto the interlocks of the fuse covers A ⇒
fig. 155 on the right and open
the covers.
– Press together the interlocks of the fuse cover B simultaneously and push
out the cover in the direction of the arrow.
– Find out which fuse belongs to the component which is not operating
⇒ page 186 ,
Fuse assignment at the battery (automatic gearbox).
– Defect fuses can be detected by their melted metal strips. Replace the defect
fuse by a new fuse of the same ampere number. WARNING
Read and observe the warning notes ⇒ page 153,
Working in the engine com-
partment before working in the engine compartment. 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 another part of the
electrical system.
● Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist ga-
rage if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time. Note
● We recommend that you have these fuses replaced by a specialist garage.
● Some vehicles are only fitted with the cover B ⇒ fig. 155

Replacing bulbs The relevant lamp must always be switched 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
designation is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
Changing certain bulbs is not something which 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 153, Work-
ing in the engine compartment .
We recommend that you always have a small box of replacement bulbs in your ve-
hicle. You can obtain replacement bulbs from
ŠKODA Original Accessories or from
a specialist garage.
A stowage place for spare bulbs is located in the box in the spare wheel.
Vehicles with LED separate daytime running lights
In vehicles with LED separate daytime running lights, the bulbs are replaced by a
specialist garage.

WARNING
● Read and observe the warning notes ⇒ page 153, Working in the engine
compartment before working in the engine compartment.
● Bulbs H7 LL and H4 LL 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. Note
This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is assumed
that no major complications will arise. Other light bulbs should be changed by your
specialist garage. Front headlight

equipment, e.g. air conditioning system.
Weight Fig. 167 Type plate
The indicated unloaded weight is for orientation purposes only. It is for the basic
equipment variant of the vehicle not including special features or accessories.
The unloaden weight contains a fuel tank topped up to 90 % and a driver weight
of 75 kg.
It is possible to calculate the approximate loading capacity from the difference be-
tween the permissible total weight and the unloaded weight.
You need to include the following into the loading capacity:
● passengers,
● all items of luggage and other loads,
● roof loads incl. the roof rack,
● when using a trailer hitch, the corresponding trailer nose weight (max. 50 kg). £192
Technical data
The following specifications are listed on the type plate
⇒ fig. 167 :
Permissible gross weight
The permissible overall weight of the vehicle/trailer combination when the
vehicle is being operated with a trailer
Maximum permissible front axle load
Maximum permissible rear axle load
The identification plate is affixed to the lower part of the column between the
front and rear doors on the front passenger side. WARNING
Do not exceed the permissible overall weight - risk of accident and damage to
the vehicle.

The vehicle identification number - VIN (vehicle body number) is stamped into the
engine compartment on the right hand shock absorber dome. This number is also
located on a sign on the lower left hand edge below the windscreen (together
with a VIN bar code).
Engine number
The engine number is stamped into the engine block.
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 guidelines Depending on the range of the special equipment, style of driving, traffic situa-
tion, weather influences and vehicle 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-urban traffic the vehicle, as in daily mo-
toring, is accelerated and braked several 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 the value for the non-urban traffic.

Engine oil specifications
The grade of engine oil should be selected in accordance with pre-
cise 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 other 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 publica-
tion.
Specialist garages are informed by ŠKODA about the latest changes. We recom-
mend having this oil change undertaken by a specialist garage.
The specifications (VW standards) stated in the following must be indicated sepa-
rately or together with other specifications on the bottle.

Only the above-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 exceptional cases, you must top up
only once engine oil complying with Specification VW 502 00 (only for petrol en-
gines) or Specification VW 505 01 (only for diesel engines) to maximum 0.5 litres.
You must not use other engine oils - risk of engine damage! £ 195

Note
● Before a long drive we recommend that you purchase and carry with you en-
gine oil which complies with the specification for your vehicle. Consequently, you
will always have the correct engine oil for refilling.
● We recommend using oils from the ŠKODA Original Accessories.
