Battery
●
If the 12-volt v
ehicle battery has been
disconnected, discharged or replaced,
there is a chance that the combustion en-
gine may not initially turn off automatically
after moving off. If this situation lasts for
several days, contact a qualified specialized
workshop. CUPRA recommends visiting a
CUPRA partner for this.

High voltage can cause serious injury or
even death. Never touch the battery
poles with bare fingers, tools, jewellery or
other metal objects.
The high-voltage battery contains haz-
ardous liquid and solid substances. Emit-
ted gases can cause severe burns and
blindness. Suitable eye protection and
protective clothing must always be worn
when working on the high voltage bat-
tery to prevent battery fluid coming into
contact with the skin and eyes. If the bat-
tery fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, the affected areas should be
rinsed with clean running water for at
least 15 minutes, and then a doctor
should be consulted immediately.
The high-voltage battery may burn. The
high-voltage battery should never be ex-
posed to fire, sparks or naked flame. The
high voltage battery must always be han-
dled with care to avoid damage and fluid
leakages.
The high-voltage battery should always
be kept out of the reach of children.
You will find further information and
warnings in the usage instructions and
workshop documentation.
Incorrect handling of the high-voltage
battery can cause serious injuries or
death. Never disassemble the high volt-
age battery or remove its cover.
