Working in the front compartment
The vehicle’s front compartment is a hazard-
ous area. You should only perform works in the
engine compartment if you have good knowl-
edge of the necessary operations and the gen-
eral safety measures, and if you have adequate
tools, means and operating fluids. Works per-
formed inadequately, could lead to serious in-
juries

. In this case, seek a specialised
workshop to perform all the works. To do so,
CUPRA recommends going to a specialised
CUPRA dealer or any SEAT dealership.
Before performing any work in the engine
compartment, always park the vehicle on level
and firm ground, taking all necessary safety
precautions.
WARNING
The high voltage system voltage is dangerous
and can cause burns, other injuries and fatal
electric shocks.
• Always assume that the high-voltage bat-
tery is charged and that all high-voltage
components are live. This can be the case
even when the ignition is switched off.
• Never touch damaged components of the
high-voltage system or rub against them with
jewellery or other metal objects. It is not al-
ways possible to detect that they are dam-
aged.
•
Never work on the orange high-voltage ca-
bles or other high-voltage components. Only
specialist workshops authorised to work on
the high-voltage system are permitted to
work on it.
• Never damage, modify or remove the
orange coloured high-voltage cables, and
never uncouple them from the high-voltage
network.
• Never work near high-voltage components
and cables if tools that are sharp, cause de-
formation or give of shavings, or heat sour-
ces, are required. Only authorised specialist
workshops are permitted to work on or near
the high-voltage system.
• The gases that are released or leaked from
the high-voltage battery may be toxic or
flammable.
• Any damage caused to the vehicle or the
high-voltage battery can lead to an immedi-
ate or subsequent leak of toxic gases or liq-
uids. These gases can also cause a fire. Do
not inhale the gases.
•
Never touch liquids that may leak from the
high voltage battery.
• In the event of a fire, leave the danger area
and call the fire department.
• Always inform the fire brigade emergency
services that the vehicle is fitted with a high-
voltage battery.
WARNING
If works are performed on the high-voltage
system and on the high-voltage components
in an inappropriate manner, this may lead
to faults in the operation, accidents and inju-
ries.
• Only specialist workshops authorised to
work on the high-voltage system are permit-
ted to work on it.
