If the engine is switched off already one electrical component which is connected can discharge the
battery. Replacing fuses at the battery (manual gearbox, automatic
gearbox DSG) Fig. 153 The battery: fuse cover
– Press together the interlocks of the fuse cover simultaneously in direction of
arrow A ⇒ fig. 153 and push out the cover in direction of arrow
B .
– Release the fixtures in the openings C using a flat screwdriver and fold the
cover upwards in direction of arrow D .
– Find out which fuse belongs to the component which is not operating.
– 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. 184

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.
