11 Preparing to use the breakdown kit
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 200.
The following preparatory work must be carried out before using the breakdown
kit.
›
In the event of a puncture, park the vehicle as far away as possible from the
flow of traffic. Park on as flat and firm a surface as possible.
› Let all of the occupants get out.
While changing a tyre, the occupants of the
vehicle should not stand on the road (instead they should remain behind a crash
barrier).
› Switch off the engine and move the gearshift lever into
Neutral or move the
selector lever
for the automatic gearbox into position P .
› Firmly apply the
handbrake.
› Check that you can carry out the repairs with the breakdown kit
» page 200.
› If a trailer is connected, remove it.
› Remove the breakdown kit
from the boot.
› Stick the sticker 2
»
Fig. 177 on page 201 on the dash panel in view of the driv-
er.
› Do not remove the foreign body, e.g. screw or nail, from the tyre.
› Unscrew the valve cap.
› Use the valve remover 1
to unscrew the valve core and place it on a clean sur-
face (rag, paper, etc.). Ð Sealing and inflating tyres
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 200.
Sealing
›
Forcefully shake the tyre inflator bottle 10
» Fig. 177
on page 201 several times.
› Firmly screw the inflation hose 3
onto the tyre inflator bottle 10
in a clockwise
direction. The film on the cap is pierced automatically.
› Remove the plug from the inflation hose 3
and plug the open end fully onto
the tyre valve.
› Hold the bottle 10
with the bottom facing upwards and fill all of the sealing
agent from the tyre inflator bottle into the tyre.
› Remove the empty tyre inflator bottle from the valve.
› Screw the valve core back into the tyre valve using the valve remover 1
.

WARNING
■ A discharged vehicle battery may already freeze at temperatures just below
0 °C. In case of frozen battery carry out no jump-starting - risk of explosion!
■ Pay attention to the warning instructions relating to working in the engine
compartment » page 176, Engine compartment .
■ The non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps must never make contact
with each other. In addition, the jump-start cable connected to the positive
terminal of the battery must not come into contact with electrically conduct-
ing parts of the vehicle - risk of short circuit! ■ Do not clamp the jump-start cable to the negative terminal of the dis-
charged battery. There is the risk of detonating gas seeping out the battery
being ignited by the strong spark which results from the engine being started.
■ Route the jump-start cables so that they cannot be caught by any rotating
parts in the engine compartment.
■ Do not bend over the battery - risk of caustic burns!
■ The vent screws of the battery cells must be tightened firmly.
■ Keep any sources of ignition (naked flame, smouldering cigarettes, etc.)
away from the battery - risk of an explosion! ■ Never jump-start vehicle batteries with an electrolyte level that is too low -
risk of explosion and caustic burns. Note
■ There must not be any contact between the two vehicles otherwise current
may flow as soon as the negative terminals are connected. ■ The discharged battery must be properly connected to the system of the vehi-
cle. ■ We recommend you buy jump-start cables from a car battery specialist. Ð Jump-starting

Jump-starting using the battery
from another vehicle: A - flat ve-
hicle battery, B - battery provid-
ing current
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 202.
The jump-start cables must be attached in the following sequence:
Connecting positive terminals
› Attach one end 1
» Fig. 178
to the positive terminal of the discharged battery A
.
› Attach the other end 2
to the positive terminal of the battery supplying the
power B
.
Connecting negative terminal and engine block
› Attach one end 3
»
Fig. 178
to the negative terminal of the battery supplying
the power B
.
› Attach the other end 4
to a solid metal part which is connected firmly to the
engine block, or to the engine block itself.
Starting engine
› Start the engine on the vehicle providing the power and allow it to idle.
› Now start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
› If the engine does not start, terminate the attempt to start the engine after
10 seconds and wait for about 30 seconds before repeating the process.
› Disconnect the cables in exactly the
reverse order to the one described above. Ð

system
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 202.
On vehicles with the START-STOP system, the jump-start cable of the charger

On vehicles with the vehicle battery in the boot, the positive terminal of the bat-
tery supplying the power can only be connected to the jump-starting point in the
engine compartment of the vehicle being started by means of a jump-start ca-
ble » Fig. 180!

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Front towing eye 205
Rear towing eye 206
Vehicles a towing device 206
Vehicles with manual transmission can be towed in with a tow bar or a tow rope
or with the front or rear wheels raised.
Vehicles with automatic transmission can be towed in with a tow bar or a tow
rope or with the front wheels raised. If the vehicle is raised at rear, the automatic
gearbox is damaged!
A tow bar is the safest way of towing a vehicle and also minimises any shocks.
Only use a tow rope if a suitable tow bar is not available.
When towing, the following guidelines must be observed.
Driver of the tow vehicle
› Release the clutch particularly gently when starting off or depress the accelera-
tor particularly gently if the vehicle is fitted with an automatic gearbox.
› On vehicles with a manual transmission, only push down on the accelerator
pedal once the rope is taught.
The maximum towing speed is 50 km/h.
Driver of the towed vehicle
› Switch on the ignition so that the steering wheel is not blocked and so that the
turn signal lights, horn, windscreen wipers and windscreen washer system can
be switched on.
› Take the vehicle out of gear or move the selector lever into position
N if the
vehicle is fitted with an automatic gearbox. £

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Fuses in the dash panel 208
Fuses in the engine compartment 209
Individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses.
› Before replacing a fuse, switch off the ignition and the appropriate consumer
› Find out which fuse belongs to the component that is not operat-
ing » page 208, Fuses in the dash panel or » page 209, Fuses in the engine
compartment .
› Take the plastic clip out of its fixture in the cover of the fuse box, place it on the
relevant fuse and pull it out.
› A blown fuses is recognisable by the molten metal strip. Replace the faulty fuse
with a new one of the
same amperage.
Colour coding of fuses Colour Maximum amperage
light brown 5
dark brown 7.5
red 10
blue 15
yellow 20
white 25
green 30
orange 40
red 50WARNING
Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the en-
gine compartment » page 176, 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.
■ When unlocking and locking the cover for the fuse box in the engine compart-
ment, it must be pressed on the sides of the box, otherwise the locking mecha-
nism can be damaged. ■ The cover for the fuse box in the engine compartment must always be applied
correctly. Water can penetrate and cause damage to the vehicle if the cover was
not applied correctly! 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.
■ Electrically adjustable seats are protected by automatic circuit breakers, which
switch on again automatically after a few seconds after the overload has been
eliminated. Ð
