Bulbs
Replacing bulbs
The relevant lamp must always be switched off before a light bulb is replaced.
Defect light bulbs should only be replaced with light bulbs of the same type. The designation is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
Some manual skills are required to change a bulb. For instance, this applies for hard-to-reach lamps which must be removed along with other vehicle parts.
We therefore recommend that you have any bulbs changed by an authorised ŠKODA Service Partner or, in exceptional cases, by calling on other professional assistance.
Please note that the engine compartment is a hazardous area ⇒ page 109, Work-ing in the engine compartment.
We recommend that you always have the small box of replacement bulbs in your vehicle. You can obtain replacement bulbs from the range of ŠKODA Original Ac-cessories or from a specialist garage.
A stowage compartmrnt for replacement bulbs are located in a box underneath the floor covering in the luggage compartment.

WARNING
● Read and observe the warning notes ⇒ page 109, Working in the engine compartment before working in the engine compartment.
● The H4 LL bulb is under pressure and may explode during a lamp replace-ment - risk of injury!
● It is recommended to wear gloves and safety glasses when changing a 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, serviette or something similar.
Note
This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is assumed that no major complications will arise. Other light bulbs should be changed by your
specialist garage.
