more information refer to the "Checking
levels" paragraph in the "Servicing and
maintenance" section).
NOTE If the battery pack needs to be
cooled, the electric climate control
compressor is automatically activated
even when the passenger compartment
cooling function is not operating.
The high-voltage battery is cooled by
the refrigerant gas also used by the
passenger compartment air conditioning
system.
WARNING The high-voltage battery has a
limited life duration. Its capacity to hold
charge decreases with time and use, as
for any rechargeable battery. The amount
by which the battery capacity decreases
varies with the outside conditions
(ambient temperature, etc.) and usage
conditions, e.g. driving habits and the
high-voltage battery (traction battery)
charging methods. This is a natural
characteristic of lithium ion batteries
and is not a sign of malfunction. In
addition, although the distance that can
be travelled in electrical mode decreases
as the capacity of the high-voltage
battery decreases, the performance of
the car is not significantly affected.
To ensure that the lithium ion battery is
maintained properly over time, the car
must not be exposed to temperatures
below -10°C and above 40°C for
extended periods of time, as some
car functions may change or become
deactivated as the battery capacity
decreases outside this temperature
range. The high-voltage battery is
equipped with conditioning systems that
ensure that it operates under the best
temperature conditions appropriate to its
operation.
WARNING
1) Do not resell, give away or modify the
high-voltage battery. The high-voltage
battery must only be used on the vehicle
on which it is supplied. If used outside
the vehicle or modified, accidents such as
electric shock, heat or smoke generation,
explosion or electrolyte leakage may
occur. If the vehicle is scrapped without
removing the high-voltage battery, contact
with high-voltage components, cables and
connectors could cause very dangerous
electric shock. If the high-voltage battery
is not disposed of properly, it may cause
electric shock, resulting in serious injury
or death.
2) The mains power supply and the high-
voltage battery are potentially dangerous:
they can cause injury, burns and risk of
electrocution. Always take great care.
3) Never touch or tamper with the cables
and components of the high-voltage
battery in any way: do not allow the
high-voltage battery components to come
into contact with bracelets, necklaces or
any metal objects worn.
4) Do not open, modify or remove the
high-voltage battery cover: any gases
released may be harmful and flammable:
avoid inhaling the gases.
5) Damage to the vehicle or the high-
voltage battery may cause harmful gases
to escape, which could cause a fire. In
the event of a fire, move away from the
vehicle, wear a reflective vest (if required
by the regulations in force), position
yourself in a safe place, and immediately
contact the rescuers, police or fire brigade
informing them that this is a vehicle with
a high voltage system.
6) The electrolyte inside the battery is a
polluting and flammable material. If the
high-voltage battery is not disposed of
properly, it may cause fire and pollute the
environment.
IMPORTANT
1) If, as a result of a violent impact or
accident, the car has hit the bottom
(underbody), have the battery and the
high-voltage system checked by qualified
technicians.
IMPORTANT
1) Live parts of the vehicle are marked
with safety warning labels. The high-
voltage battery bears a label indicating
this danger.
2) Do not dispose of the high-voltage
battery privately: for more information
contact a Jeep Dealership.
