What you should be mindful of

High-voltage warning labels

Warning labels are placed on components with high electrical voltages.

DANGER

Improper handling of the high-voltage system and battery can cause fatal electric shock, burns, or injury.

Always assume that the high-voltage battery is charged and the high-voltage system is energized. This applies even when the electric drive is switched off and the ignition is switched off.
Do not touch or handle the components of the high-voltage system. These include, for example, the high-voltage cables and the high-voltage battery.
Do not carry out any work on the high-voltage system and battery.
Only qualified service technicians may work on the high-voltage system and systems affected by it.
Do not open or repair components of the high-voltage system.
Do not modify, disassemble or disconnect orange high-voltage cables.
Do not open, modify or disassemble the high-voltage battery cover.
Damage to the vehicle or the high-voltage battery may result in the release of toxic and flammable gases. Open the windows to vent escaping gases and leave the vehicle.
Avoid contact with liquids and gases escaping from the high-voltage battery.
In case of fire, leave the vehicle and keep a safe distance. Inform the emergency services that the vehicle has a high-voltage battery After an accident.

$\"\"$

CAUTION

The high-voltage battery can be damaged if the chassis is struck on the road or in an accident, for example.

$\"\"$

NOTICE

If the vehicle is parked for a long period of time with a discharged high-voltage battery, the high-voltage battery may be irreversibly damaged.

$\"\"$

NOTICE

If the vehicle is left off the road for several months, the high-voltage battery may self-discharge.

This can lead to damage to the high-voltage battery at high ambient temperatures and low state of charge.
