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, nap-
kin, or similar.
When removing and installing the number plate light and tail light make sure
■
that the paintwork of the vehicle and the tail light are not damaged.
Note
This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is possi-
■
ble 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 vehi-
■
cle. Replacement bulbs can be purchased from ŠKODAOriginal Accessories.
We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage af-
■
ter replacing a bulb in the main, low or fog beam.
In case of failure of a xenon gas discharge lamp or an LED diode, visit a special-
■
ist garage.
