Headlights; Changing The Bulb For The Low Beam - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

WARNING (Continued)
Bulbs H7 H8 and H15 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.
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, or the fog lights.
Gas discharge bulbs and LED diodes are replaced by a ŠKODA specialist garage.
