Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the en-
gine compartment » page 108, Engine compartment . CAUTION
■ Never “repair” fuses and also do not replace them with a fuse of a higher am-
perage - 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 ŠKODA specialist
garage if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time. Note
■ We recommend always carrying replacement fuses in the vehicle. A box of re-
placement fuses can be purchased from
ŠKODA Original Accessories.
■ Multiple fuses may exist for a single power consuming device.
■ Multiple power consuming devices can share a single fuse. Ð Fuses on the underside of the dash panel
