CAUTION
"Never repair" fuses, and do not replace them with fuses of a higher amper-
■
age – risk of fire! This may also cause damage at other points in the electrical
system.
If a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time, have the electrical
■
system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist garage.
A blown fuses is recognisable by the molten metal strip. Replace the faulty
■
fuse with a new one of the same amperage.
Note
We recommend always carrying replacement fuses in the vehicle. A box of
■
replacement fuses can be purchased from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
There can be several power consuming devices for one fuse.
■
Multiple fuses may exist for a single power consuming device.
