Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Fuses in the dash panel

Assignment of fuses in the engine compartment
218
Individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses.
Switch off the ignition and the corresponding power consuming device before
replacing a fuse.
Find out which fuse belongs to the component that is not operat-
ing » page 216 , Fuses in the dash panel or » page 218 , Assignment of fuses in
the engine compartment .
Electrically adjustable seats are protected by automatic circuit breakers, which
switch on again automatically after a few seconds after the overload has been
eliminated.

engine compartment » page 182. 215Fuses and light bulbs
CAUTION■“Never repair” fuses or replace them with a fuse of a higher amperage – risk
of fire! This may also cause damage at another part of the electrical system.■
If a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time, have the electrical
system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist garage.
■
A blown fuses is recognisable by the molten metal strip. Replace the faulty
fuse with a new one of the same amperage.
Note
■
We recommend always carrying replacement fuses in the vehicle. A box of
replacement fuses can be purchased from ŠKODA Original Accessories.■
There can be several power consuming devices for one fuse.
■
Multiple fuses may exist for a single power consuming device.
