• Take the plastic clip out of its fixture in the cover of the fuse box, place it on the relevant fuse and pull it out.

WARNING

CAUTION

• “Never repair” fuses or replace them with a fuse of a higher amperage – there is a 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
• 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 that you always carry replacement fuses in the vehicle. A box of replacement fuses can be purchased from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
