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 electrical
system.
Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a ŠKODA specialist
■
garage if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.
When unlocking and locking the cover for the fuse box in the engine compart-
■
ment, it must be pressed on the sides of the box, otherwise the locking mecha-
nism can be damaged.
The cover for the fuse box in the engine compartment must always be applied
■
correctly. Water can penetrate and cause damage to the vehicle if the cover was
not applied correctly!
Note
We recommend always carrying replacement fuses in the vehicle. A box of re-
■
placement fuses can be purchased from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
Multiple fuses may exist for a single power consuming device.
■
Multiple power consuming devices can share a single fuse.
■
Electrically adjustable seats are protected by automatic circuit breakers, which
■
switch on again automatically after a few seconds after the overload has been
eliminated.
