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 uids. 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 rm 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 o.
•
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
ammable.
• 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 re. Do
not inhale the gases.
•
Never touch liquids that may leak from the
high voltage battery.
•
In the event of a re, leave the danger area
and call the re department.
•
Always inform the re brigade emergency
services that the vehicle is tted 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.
