Before switching on the ignition, perform the following steps:
♦ Move selector lever to position P
♦ Activate parking brake
♦ Switch off ignition
♦ Open bonnet
♦ Connect battery charger (e.g. - VAS 5095A- ) to jump-start
connections of 12 V electrical system

WARNING
Safety hazard: the engine can start unexpectedly.
Before carrying out general work on a vehicle with high-voltage
electrical system, switch off the ignition and remove the ignition
key from the vehicle.
General notes:
WARNING
Working on vehicles with high-voltage wiring:
• Do not support yourself or tools on high-voltage wiring or
associated components --> this can damage the insula‐
tion.
• High-voltage wiring must not be excessively bent or
kinked --> this can damage the insulation.
• The round high-voltage connectors are colour-coded with
an external coloured ring and are provided with mechan‐
ical coding or guide lugs. It is important to observe this
coding when joining up the round high-voltage connec‐
tors, otherwise the connectors can be damaged.
