●

Never attempt to “repair” fuses and also do not replace them with a fuse of a

higher amperage - risk of fire! This may also cause damage at another part of the

electrical system.

Individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are located on the

left side of the dash panel behind the safety cover and under the cover in the en-

gine compartment on the left.

●

Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist ga-



rage if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.

–

Switch the ignition off and also the electrical component affected.

Use a screwdriver to take off the fuse cover on the side of the dash panel

⇒ꢀfig. 198 or the fuse cover in the engine compartment ⇒ꢀfig. 199.

Find out which fuse belongs to the relevant component ⇒ꢀpage 232, Fuse as-

signment in the dash panel, ⇒ꢀpage 230, Fuse assignment in engine compart-

ment - version 1 or ⇒ꢀpage 231, Fuse assignment in engine compartment - ver-

sion 2.

Fuse cover in engine compartment

The fuse box in the engine compartment exists in two different

versions. You can determine which version your vehicle is fitted

with after removing the fuse cover at the location of the fuses.

–

Take the plastic clip out of its fixture in the fuse cover, insert it onto the re-

spective fuse and pull out this fuse.

Defect fuses can be detected by their melted metal strips. Replace the defect

fuse by a new fuse of the same ampere number.

Fit on the fuse cover again.

We recommend that you always have the small box of replacement fuses in your

vehicle. You can obtain replacement fuses from the range of ŠKODA Original Parts

or from a specialist garage.

Defect light bulbs should only be replaced with light bulbs of the same type. The

designation is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.

Changing certain bulbs is not something which you can do yourself, but requires

to be done by a specialist. Other parts of the vehicle must be removed in order to

change the light bulbs. This applies, in particular, to bulbs which can only be

reached from the engine compartment.

WARNING

Parking lights and main beam lights

●

Bulbs H7 and H3 are pressurised and may burst when changing the bulb -

risk of injury!

●

It is recommended to wear gloves and safety glasses when changing a

bulb.

●

Gas discharge bulbs (xenon bulbs) operate with a high voltage, professio-

nal knowledge is required - danger to life!

CAUTION

Fig. 204 Removing the bulbs for the

parking and main beam light

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, serviette or

something similar.
