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 and under the cover in the engine
compartment on the left.
– Switch the ignition off and also the electrical component affected.
– Use a screwdriver to take off the fuse cover on the side of the dash panel fig. 205
or the fuse cover in the engine compartment page 247, fig. 206.
– Find out which fuse belongs to the relevant component page 249, “Fuse assign-
ment in the dash panel”, page 247, “Fuse assignment in engine compartment -
version 1” or page 248, “Fuse assignment in engine compartment - version 2”.
– 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.
– Fit on the fuse cover again.
We recommend that you always have the small box of replacement fuses in your
vehicle. You can obtain replacement fuses from the range of Škoda original parts or
from a specialist garage

Colour coding of fuses
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.
