High-voltage battery
Safety instructions
Introduction
Valid for: hybrid vehicles
WARNING
The vehicle’s high-voltage network and the
high-voltage battery are hazardous and can
cause burns and other injuries, including fa-
tal electric shocks.
●
It should always be assumed that the high-
voltage battery is fully charged and that all of
its components are live. This may also be the
case when the ignition is switched o.
●
Never touch the high-voltage cables, the
high-voltage battery or its poles, or allow
them to come into contact with jewellery or
other metal objects, especially if the high-
voltage cables, the high-voltage battery or its
poles are damaged.
●
Never take it upon yourself to perform any
type of work on the high-voltage network, on
the high-voltage cables or the high-voltage
battery.
●
Never open or perform maintenance or
repairs on components or parts of the high
voltage network, or disconnect them from
this network.
●
Never damage, modify or remove the or-
ange high voltage cables or disconnect them
from the high voltage network.
●
Never open, modify or remove the cover
from the high-voltage battery.
●
Work on the high-voltage system, as well
as on any systems that may be indirectly in-
uenced by it, should only be carried out by
specialized personnel with the correspond-
ing qualications and training.
●
Work in the immediate vicinity of high-
voltage cables and high-voltage components
with tools that are sharp, give o shavings or
that have heat sources, such as hot air, ther-
mal bonding or welding work, may only be
performed after disconnecting the voltage.
The high voltage should only be disconnec-
ted by specialized personnel with the corre-
sponding qualications and training.
●
All CUPRA guidelines and standards must
be followed when performing any work on
the high-voltage system and the high-volt-
age battery.
●
The gases that are emitted or leaked from
the high-voltage battery may be toxic or
ammable.
●
Damage to the vehicle or high voltage bat-
tery could cause an immediate or delayed
leak of toxic gases. The emitted gases could
also cause a re. Do not inhale the gases.
●
Never touch the liquids that spill from the
high voltage battery and do not touch the
emitted gases, particularly if the battery is
damaged.
●
In the event of a re, leave the danger area
and call the re department.
●
Always inform the re ghters and the
emergency service 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.
●
Work on the high-voltage system must
only be performed by authorized specialized
services with the corresponding permit.
NOTICE
If the vehicle suers an accident or collision
with an obstacle, the high-voltage battery
must be checked by specialized personnel
with the corresponding qualications and
training.
