What you should be mindful of
Warning stickers about high voltage
The warning stickers are located on high-voltage
components.
Warning stickers relating to hot surfaces
The warning sticker is located on com-
ponents that can become noticeably
warm.
DANGER
Improper handling of the high-voltage system and
battery can result in burns, injuries or fatal electric
shock.
▶
It must always be assumed that the high-voltage
battery is charged and that the high-voltage sys-
tem is live. This also applies when the electric drive
is switched off and the ignition is switched off.
▶
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 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 cables.
▶
Do not open, replace, or remove the cover of the
high-voltage battery.
▶
Work on the high-voltage system and the systems
influenced by it may only be carried out by qualified
service technicians.
▶
When working on the high-voltage system and the
high-voltage battery, the specifications and guide-
lines of the ŠKODA AUTO company must be ad-
hered to.
▶
Before carrying out any work on the vehicle, where
there is a risk of damaging the components of the
high-voltage system, the vehicle must be free from
any voltage. This work may only be carried out by
qualified service technicians.
▶
Damage to the vehicle or the high-voltage battery
can result in the escape of toxic and flammable
gases. Open the windows so that any escaping
gases can escape from and leave the vehicle.
▶
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 rescuers about the fact that
it is a vehicle with a high-voltage battery
.
CAUTION
Touching the floor of the vehicle or an accident may
damage the high-voltage battery.
▶
Contact a specialist company immediately and en-
sure the high-voltage battery is checked.
NOTICE
In the event of a vehicle with a flat high-voltage bat-
tery, there is a risk of irreversible damage to the
high-voltage battery during extended periods of use
▶
A flat high-voltage battery must be recharged im-
mediately!
NOTICE
If the vehicle is stationary for several months, the
high-voltage battery can go flat.
This can lead to the high-voltage battery being dam-
aged at high ambient temperatures and a low charge
state.
▶
Always ensure there is a sufficient state of charge
with the high-voltage battery!
If the battery is left standing for long periods in
very cold environments, the low internal tempera-
ture of the high-voltage battery can reduce the
range and limit the driving performance.
