High-voltage battery

Practical tips
Incorrect handling of the high-voltage
batt ery can cause serious injuries or
death. Maint
enance work on the high-
voltage battery must only be performed
by specialized personnel with the corre-
sponding qualifications and training. Nev-
er modify the high-voltage battery. When
the high-voltage battery is open, ensure it
does not come into contact with water or
other liquids. Liquids may cause short cir-
cuits, electrical shocks and burns.

Reliability and capacity of the high-volt-
age battery
Lithium ion batteries are subject to ageing
and wear and tear throughout their useful life
due to their physical and chemical charac-
teristics. Correct handling of the high-voltage
battery makes an essential contribution to
keeping it in a reliable state in the long term
and to achieving high battery capacity and
range. Therefore, it is extremely important to
respect the following conservation instruc-
tions for the high voltage battery. These 7 maintenance instructions are essential for
maint
aining the v

ehicle's value over time.
Please also observe the applicable SEAT
warranty conditions for the high-voltage bat-
tery.

The electronic protection device ››› Fig. 216
ensures that the charging connector does
not receive current until it is plugged in to the
vehicle's charging connector.
Self-check
When the charging cable is plugged into the
electrical socket, the protective device auto-
matically performs a self-test. During this
check, all warning and indicator lamps turn
on briefly and go out one after the other.
Upon completion, the operational status at
that time is displayed.

Engine oil
Gener al not
es The engine comes with a special, multi-grade
oil that can be used all year r
ound.
Because the use of high-qualit

y oil is essen-
tial for the correct operation of the engine
and its long useful life, when topping up or
changing oil, use only those oils that comply
with VW standards. »1)
