▶
If there is damage suspected to the sensors or
cameras, seek the help of a specialist garage.
Engine compartment
Before opening the engine compartment flap
Risk of scalding! Do not open the engine compart-
ment flap if steam or coolant comes out of the en-
gine compartment.
▶
Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
▶
Open the driver door.
When working in the engine compartment
▶
Keep children away from the engine compartment.
▶
Follow the safety instructions listed in the chapter
relating to the high-voltage system » page 174,
What you should be mindful of.
▶
Do not touch the radiator fan. The radiator fan can
turn itself on, even when the ignition is o.
▶
Do not touch electrical cables. Avoid short circuits
in the electrical system, especially on the vehicle
battery.
▶
Do not smoke near the vicinity of the engine and
refrain from handling open flames or sparks.
▶
If you need to work in the engine compartment
with the engine running, be mindful of rotating en-
gine parts and electrical equipment.
▶
Do not leave any objects in the engine compart-
ment.
Handling operating fluids
Your vehicle needs various fuels to operate that can
aect health or the environment when they are
emitted. These include fuel, oils, battery acid, coolant
and brake fluid.
▶
Only use operating fluids outdoors or in well-venti-
lated areas. If required, wear protective equipment.
▶
Do not use or check operating fluids with the en-
gine running.
▶
In the event of contact with operating fluids, wash
aected areas with warm water. If required, seek
medical help.
▶
The leaked engine oil in the engine compartment
can cause a fire, so wipe it o with a cloth.
▶
Store cloths soiled by brake fluids in a well-ventila-
ted place until disposal. Cloths with residues of en-
gine oil can ignite and cause a fire.
Vehicle battery
Handling the vehicle battery
Battery acid is highly corrosive. Improper handling of
the vehicle battery can cause an explosion, fire,
chemical burns or poisoning!
▶
When handling the vehicle battery, eye and skin
protection must be worn.
▶
Do not tilt the vehicle battery, as it may leak bat-
tery acid.
▶
If battery acid comes into contact with skin, wash
the aected areas with water for a few minutes.
Get medical help without delay.
▶
Do not charge a frozen or thawed vehicle battery.
Replace a frozen vehicle battery.
▶
Do not use a damaged vehicle battery.
▶
Short circuit! Do not connect the battery terminals.
Notes on the high-voltage system
DANGER
Improper handling of the high-voltage system and
battery can result in burns, injuries or fatal electric
shock.
▶
It can always be assumed that the high-voltage
battery is charged and the high-voltage system is
live. This also applies when the electric drive is
switched o and the ignition is switched o.
▶
Do not touch the high-voltage cables or the high-
voltage battery, even with the aid of other objects.
▶
Do not carry out any work on the high-voltage sys-
tem or on the high-voltage battery.
▶
Do not open or repair the components of the high-
voltage system.
▶
Do not replace, remove or disconnect the orange
high-voltage cable.
▶
Do not open, replace or remove the cover of the
high-voltage battery.
▶
Work on the high-voltage system and the systems
aected by it may only be carried out by qualified
service technicians.
▶
When working on the high-voltage system and on
the high-voltage battery, the requirements and
guidelines of the company ŠKODA AUTO must be
complied with.
▶
Before working on the vehicle where there is a risk
of damaging the components of the high-voltage
system, the voltage to the vehicle must be cut. On-
ly qualified service technicians may cut the voltage.
▶
Damage to the vehicle or the high-voltage battery
can lead to the escape of toxic and flammable
gases. Open the windows so that the gases occur-
ring can escape from the vehicle. Do not inhale
gases.
▶
Avoid contact with liquids and gases leaking from
the high-voltage battery.
▶
In the event of fire, leave the vehicle and stay at a
safe distance. Inform the rescue workers that it is a
vehicle with a high-voltage battery » page 23, Af-
ter an accident.
