DANGER
High-voltage systems in the electric motor compartment and in other places on the vehicle can cause electrical shocks or even electrocution, severe burns, other serious injuries, and even death!
x The high-voltage system may also be active even when the ignition is switched off!
x Never touch high-voltage cables, the high-voltage battery, the poles of the high-voltage battery or any other parts of the high-voltage system, especially if these parts are damaged.
x Never attempt to work on any parts of the high-voltage system, the high-voltage cables or the high-voltage battery.
x Never open, maintain, disconnect or repair components or parts of the high-voltage sys-tem.
x Never damage, change or remove the orange high-voltage cables or disconnect them from the high-voltage system.
x Never open, modify or remove the cover of the high-voltage battery.
x Any work on the high-voltage system, or any other systems connected to it, should only be done by properly trained and qualified experts.
x Never perform any work near high-voltage components and high-voltage cables with ma-chining, shaping and sharp-edged tools or heat sources, for example, welding, soldering, hot air or thermal adhesives.
x The Volkswagen standards and guidelines must be adhered to when working on the high-voltage system or the high-voltage battery.
x During such work, keep the vehicle key safe and far enough away from the vehicle to pre-vent any risk of the ignition being accidentally switched on and the electrical system activat-ed.
x Any gasses emitted by or escaping from the high-voltage battery may be toxic or flamma-ble.
x Damage to the vehicle or to the high-voltage battery could lead to a leak of toxic gases, either immediately or at a later time. These emitted gases could also potentially cause a fire. If damage has been incurred, it is vital to then open the vehicle windows to allow any emitted gases to disperse. Do not inhale these gases.
x Never touch any liquids or expose yourself to any gases leaking from the high-voltage battery, especially if the battery has been damaged.
x Always inform any attending emergency services that the vehicle is equipped with a high-voltage battery.
WARNING
Switching off the electric drive while the vehicle is moving can make the vehicle harder to stop and result in loss of vehicle control, leading to collisions and severe personal injuries.
x Brake and steering assistance systems, the airbag system, safety belt pretensioners, and other vehicle safety features only work when the electric motor is activated.
x Switch off the electric drive only when the vehicle is not moving.
