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-

A stowage compartment for replacement bulbs is located in a box under the
floor covering in the luggage compartment.
WARNING
Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
■
engine compartment
» page
165.
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.
Bulbs H7 and H4 are pressurised and may burst when changed - there is a
■
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, professio-
■
nal knowledge is required – risk of death!
Switch off the respective vehicle light when changing the bulb.
■
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,
napkin, or similar.
Note
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 ŠKODAOriginal Accessories.
We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage
■
after replacing a bulb in the main beam, low beam or fog lights.
In case of failure of a xenon gas discharge lamp or an LED diode, visit a spe-
■
cialist garage.
