Always Read And Observe The Warnings Before Completing Any Work In The Engine Compartment » Page - Skoda RAPID Owner's Manual

Some manual skills are required to change a bulb. For this reason, we recom-
mend having bulbs replaced by a specialist garage or seeking other expert help
in the event of any uncertainties.
▶
Switch off the ignition and the relevant 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.
We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage
after replacing a bulb in the low, high or fog beam.
Defective LED diodes should be referred to a specialist.
WARNING
Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
■
engine compartment » page 86, Engine compartment.
Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-
■
ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficul-
ty by other road users.
CAUTION
Do not touch the glass bulb with your fingers (even the smallest amount of
■
dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth, napkin, or
similar.
The protective cap of the bulb must always be properly inserted into the
■
headlight. Water and dirt may get into the headlight if the cover is not fitted
properly - there is a risk of damage to the headlight.
Notice
This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is pos-
■
sible 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 ve-
■
hicle. Replacement bulbs can be purchased from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
