Notes on the high voltage battery
WARNING Risk of vehicle damage
and personnel injury from high volt-
age system
â–º Do not touch, move or disassemble
the high voltage battery, orange
high voltage cables or any compo-
nent with a high voltage warning
symbol.
â–º Do not park the vehicle for an exten-
sive period of time in a humid envi-
ronment, such as a waterlogged
parking lot.
WARNING Risk of explosion from ex-
cessive internal pressure of the high
voltage battery
In the event of a vehicle fire, the internal
pressure of the high voltage battery
could exceed the critical value. In this
case, flammable gas may escape
through a bleed valve in the vehicle's
underbody.
The gas can be ignited.
â–º Stop the charging process immedi-
ately in case of unusual odours,
smoke or burn marks.
â–º Leave the danger zone immediately.
Secure the danger zone at a suffi-
cient distance.
â–º Call the fire department.
The high voltage battery equipped on this
vehicle conforms to the ECE R100.03 re-
quirements regarding high voltage battery
safety.
To achieve the longest service life of the
high voltage battery, the state of charge
should always be kept sufficient. If you
need to park the vehicle for a long time,
check the state of charge. The high volt-
age battery depletes and becomes dam-
aged if the vehicle is left unused for a long
time.
If the vehicle is left unused for a long time,
run it for a few minutes every 4 weeks. If
the state of charge is low, charge the
battery.
Explosive risk.
When disposing of power bat-
teries, do not ignite, use open flame or
smoke. Avoid any spark.
Electrolyte or power cell acid is
corrosive. Protect your skin, eyes or cloth-
ing from contacting with electrolyte or
acid. Wear appropriate protective clothing,
especially protective gloves, apron and
mask. If any part of your body is splashed
with electrolyte or acid, rinse it with plenty
of water immediately and thoroughly. If
necessary, seek medical attention as soon
as possible.
Wear protective glasses.
Keep it away from children.
Observe the instructions in the
User Manual.
