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 specialist garage

if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.

We recommend that you always carry replacement fuses in the vehicle. A box of

replacement fuses can be purchased from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
One fuse may cover several consumers.
