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 electri-
cal 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 and bulbs can be purchased from ŠKODA Original Accesso-
ries.■
There can be several power consuming devices for one fuse.
■
Multiple fuses may exist for a single power consuming device.
