Electric fuses

Replacing fuses in the dash panel
Defect fuses must be replaced.
Individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are located on the left
side of the dash panel behind the safety cover.
– Switch the ignition off and also the electrical component affected.
– Carefully swivel the cover in the direction of arrow and pull it out
– Find out which fuse belongs to the component which is not operating  page 196,
"Fuse assignment in the dash panel".
– Take the plastic clip out of its fixture in the fuse cover, insert it onto the respective
fuse and pull out this fuse.
– Defect fuses can be detected by their melted metal strips. Replace the defect fuse
by a new fuse of the same ampere number.
– Insert the fuse cover into the dash panel in such a way that the guide lugs are
guided into the openings of the dash panel and then lock them by pressing.
We recommend that you always have replacement fuses in your vehicle. You can
obtain replacement fuses from the range of Škoda original parts or from a specialist

Caution

Never attempt to "repair" fuses and also do not replace them with a fuse of a higher
amperage - 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 specialist garage if a
newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.
Note
We recommend that you have these fuses replaced by a specialist garage.
