Use jump leads with a sufficient cross section and in-
sulated terminal clamps.
The rated voltage of both batteries must be 12V. The
capacity (in Ah) of the 12 volt charging vehicle bat-
tery must not be significantly lower than the capaci-
ty of the discharged 12 volt vehicle battery.
Use another vehicle's 12 volt vehicle battery
to operate the vehicle
WARNING
Risk of injury! Danger of damage to vehicle!
Lay the jump start cables so that they cannot be-
▶
come caught by rotating parts in the engine com-
partment.
NOTICE

Start the engine
›
Start the engine of the current-giving vehicle and
let it idle.
›
Start up the vehicle with the discharged 12 volt
vehicle battery.
›
If the engine of the vehicle with the discharged 12
volt vehicle battery does not start within 10 sec-
onds, repeat the starting procedure after approxi-
mately 30 seconds.

Fuses
What you should be mindful of
NOTICE
Fire hazard and risk of damage to the electrical sys-
tem.
Do not repair fuses or replace them with stronger
▶
fuses.
Replace the defective fuse with a new fuse with
▶
the same amperage.
We recommend using replacement fuses from the
▶
ŠKODA Genuine Accessories range. These guaran-
tee reliable and safe protection of the vehicle's
electric system.
If a newly inserted fuse blows again, seek the help
▶
of a specialist garage.
One fuse may belong to several consumers. One
consumer may have several fuses.
Functionality
Fuses protect the vehicle systems from damage
caused by excessive current. The fuse blows when
the current is exceeded.
