Vehicles with automatic transmission may 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 auto-
matic gearbox is damaged! If possible, the vehicle should be towed with the
engine running or at least with the ignition on.
Driver of the tow vehicle›
Engage the clutch gently when starting off or depress the accelerator partic-
ularly gently if the vehicle is fitted with an automatic gearbox.
›
Only then approach correctly when the rope is taut.
The maximum towing speed is 50 km/h.
Driver of the towed vehicle
›
Switch on the ignition so that the steering wheel is not locked and so that
the turn-signal lights, windscreen wipers and windscreen washer system can
be used.
›
Take the vehicle out of gear or move the selector lever into position N if the
vehicle is fitted with an automatic gearbox.
Please note that the brake servo unit and power steering only operate if the
engine is running. If the engine is not running, significantly more physical force
is required to depress the brake pedal and steer the vehicle.
If using a tow rope, ensure that it is always kept taught.
General information for the towing process
Both drivers should be familiar with the problems which might occur while a vehicle is being towed. Unskilled drivers should not attempt to tow in another
vehicle or to be towed in.
The vehicle must be transported on a special breakdown vehicle or trailer if it
is not possible to tow in the vehicle in the way described or if the towing dis-
tance is greater than 50 km.
If the gearbox has no oil, your vehicle must be towed with the front axle raised
clear of the ground or on a breakdown vehicle or trailer.
To protect both vehicles when tow-starting or towing, the tow rope should be elastic. Thus one should only use plastic fibre rope or a rope made out of a
similarly elastic material.
Attach the tow rope or the tow bar to the towing eyes » page 232 or
» page 233 to the detachable ball head of the towing device » page 184 .
WARNING■
When towing, exercise increased caution.■Do not use spiral rope for towing » Fig. 251-  , the towing eye may un-
screw from the vehicle - risk of accident.■
Ensure tow rope is not twisted - risk of accident.
CAUTION
■ Do not start engine by towing - there is a risk of damaging the engine parts.
The battery from another vehicle can be used as a jump-start aid » page 230,
Jump-starting .■
There is always a risk of excessive stresses and damage resulting at the
points to which you attach the tow rope or tow bar when you attempt to tow a
vehicle which is not standing on a paved road.
Note
We recommend using a tow rope from ŠKODA Original Accessories, which is
available from a ŠKODA Partner.

On vehicles with a factory-fitted towing device, there is no mount for the
screw-in towing eye behind and below the cap.
Use the detachable ball rod for towing » page 184, Hitch .
Towing the vehicle using the tow bar device is a viable alternative solution to
using the towing eye.
CAUTION
The ball rod and/or the vehicle can be damaged if an unsuitable tow bar is
used.

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 operating
» page 240 , Assignment of the fuses in the dash panel or » page 241 , Assign-
ment 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.

WARNINGAlways read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment » page 206.
CAUTION
■
“Never repair” fuses, and do not replace them with fuses of a higher amper-
age – 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 and bulbs can be purchased from ŠKODA Genuine Accesso-
ries.■
There can be several power consuming devices for one fuse.
■
Multiple fuses may exist for a single power consuming device.

Some manual skills are required to change a bulb. For this reason, we recom-
mend having bulbs replaced by a specialist garage or seeking other expert help
in the event of any uncertainties.
▶ Switch off the ignition and the relevant lights before replacing a bulb.
▶ Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-
tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
A stowage compartment for replacement bulbs is located in a plastic box in
the spare wheel or underneath the floor covering in the luggage compartment.
We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage
after replacing a bulb in the low, high or fog beam.
In case of failure of a xenon gas discharge lamp or an LED diode, visit a special- ist garage.WARNING■ Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment » page 206.■
Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-
ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficul-
ty by other road users.
■
H7 and H8 bulbs are pressurised and may burst when changing the bulb -
risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety
glasses when changing a bulb.
■
Do not carry out any work on the xenon gas discharge lamps - risk of
death!
CAUTION
■ 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,
napkin, or similar.■
The protective cap of the bulb must always be properly inserted into the
headlamp. Water and dirt may get into the headlamp if the cover is not re-
placed properly - there is a risk of damage to the headlamp!
Note
■ This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is pos-
sible to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other
bulbs must be replaced by a specialist garage.■
We recommend that a box of replacement bulbs always be carried in the ve-
hicle. Replacement bulbs can be purchased from ŠKODAOriginal Accessories.
