High-voltage battery
Safety notes
Introduction to the topic
DANGER
The voltage of the high-voltage system is
dangerous and will cause burns or other in-
juries and even lead to a fatal electric
shock.
·
You should always assume that the
high-voltage battery is charged and that
all high-voltage components are live.
This can also be the case when the igni-
tion is switched off.
·
Damage to high-voltage components is
not visible in all cases. Never touch dam-
aged components or allow jewellery or
other metal objects to come into con-
tact with these components.
·
Never carry out work on the orange-col-
oured high-voltage cables or the other
high-voltage components. Any work on
the high-voltage system must be carried
out only by authorised qualified work-
shops with corresponding approval for
this work.
·
Never damage, change or remove the
orange-coloured high-voltage cables or
disconnect them from the high-voltage
network.
·
Never open, modify or remove the cover
of the high-voltage battery.
·
Never carry out work with cutting, form-
ing and sharp-edged tools or heat sour-
ces in the vicinity of high-voltage com-
ponents and high-voltage cables. Work
on and in the vicinity of the high-voltage
system must be performed only by au-
thorised qualified workshops.
·
Any gases emitted by or escaping from
the high-voltage battery may be toxic or
flammable.
