Practical tips
parts (i.e. the radiator fan) represent a fatal
hazard. Always act with extreme care.
–
Always ensure that no part of your
body, or any jewellery or tie, loose
clothing, loose long hair can become
trapped in the rotating parts of the en-
gine. Before performing works in the en-
gine compartment, remove any jewel-
lery or tie you may be wearing, tie up
your hair if it is long and gather any
loose clothing to prevent them from be-
coming tangled with the engine parts.
–
Never step on the accelerator pedal
without paying attention, always do so
with extreme care. The vehicle could
move, even if the electronic parking
brake is activated.
●
Never leave any object in the engine
compartment, i.e. cloths or tools. These ob-
jects could cause functional failures, dam-
age to the electric drive system and even a
fire.
WARNING
If additional insulating elements (i.e. blan-
kets) are placed in the engine compart-
ment, this could prevent the electric drive
system from operating correctly, could
cause a fire and lead to serious injuries.
●
Never cover the electric drive system
with blankets or other insulating materials.
WARNING
The operating fluids and some materials of
the engine compartment are highly flam-
mable and could cause a fire and serious
injuries! · Never smoke in the vicinity of the
engine compartment.
●
Never perform works close to unprotec-
ted flames or sparks.
●
Never spill operating fluids on the elec-
tric drive system. The liquids could ignite
upon coming into contact with the hot
parts of the electric drive system and
cause injuries.
●
When you must perform works on the on-
board 12-volt electrical system, bear in
mind the following:
–
Always disconnect the 12-volt battery.
Ensure the vehicle is unlocked when
disconnecting the 12-volt battery, oth-
erwise the anti-theft alarm will trigger.
–
Never perform works in the vicinity of
heating elements, water boilers or un-
protected flames.
●
Always have a fire extinguisher close-by,
ensuring it is operational and had been
checked.
CAUTION
When refilling or changing the operating
fluids, ensure you pour the correct fluids in-
to their corresponding filler caps. Using the
wrong operating fluids could cause severe
functional failures and damage to the en-
gine.
CAUTION
After an accident or having hit an obstacle
with the vehicle underside, the high-volt-
age battery must be checked by duly
qualified and trained technicians.
For the sake of the environment
Operating fluids that overflow from the ve-
hicle contaminate the environment. There-
fore, check underneath the vehicle on a
regular basis. If there are marks left by op-
erating fluids on the ground, consult a spe-
cialised workshop and request the vehicle
be checked. If any operating fluid leaks out,
dispose of it in the correct manner.

ment
