Skoda Fabia: Bulbs

Skoda Fabia Owners Manual

Some manual skills are required to change a bulb. For this reason, if uncertain, we recommend that bulbs are replaced by a specialist garage or other expert help is sought.

• 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 designation is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
• A stowage compartment for replacement bulbs is located in a plastic box in the spare wheel or underneath the floor covering in the boot.

WARNING

• Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the engine compartment » page 139.
• Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not sufficiently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficulty 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.
• 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.
• When removing and installing the number plate light and tail light make sure that the paintwork of the vehicle and the tail light are not damaged.

Note

• This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is possible to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other light bulbs should be changed by your specialist garage.
• We recommend that you always carry a box of replacement bulbs in the vehicle.

  Replacement bulbs can be purchased from ŠKODAOriginal Accessories.
