Headlights - Skoda Superb Owner's Manual

›
Switch off the ignition and all of the 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 boot.
WARNING
Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not sufficiently
■
illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficulty by other
road users.
Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
■
engine compartment » page 176, Engine compartment.
Bulbs H7 and H3 are pressurised and may burst when changing the bulb -
■
risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety glasses
when changing a bulb.
Gas discharge bulbs (xenon bulbs) operate with a high voltage, professional
■
knowledge is required - danger to life!
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 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
light bulbs should be changed by a ŠKODA specialist garage.
We recommend that a box of replacement bulbs be always carried in the vehi-
■
cle. Replacement bulbs can be purchased from ŠKODAOriginal Accessories.
We recommend that the headlight settings are checked by a ŠKODA specialist
■
garage after replacing a bulb in the main or low beam.
Gas discharge bulbs and LED diodes are replaced by a ŠKODA specialist garage.
