High-voltage can cause serious injuries or
even death. Never touch the battery
poles with bare fingers, tools, jewellery or
other metal objects.
The high-voltage battery contains haz-
ardous liquid and solid substances. In the
event of gases emitting from the battery,
these could cause serious burns and
1

blindness. When performing works on
high-v
olt
age batt
ery, always use appro-
priate eye protection and and protective
clothing to avoid skin and eyes from com-
ing into contact with the battery fluid. If
the battery fluid were to come into con-
tact with skin or eyes, immediately rinse
the affected area with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and seek medical assis-
tance.
The high-voltage battery may burn. Nev-
er expose the high-voltage battery to
sources of fire, sparks or unprotected
flames. Always handle the high-voltage
battery with care to avoid damaging it
and, consequently, fluid from leaking.
Always keep children away from from the
high-voltage battery.
The instruction manual and the workshop
information contain further information
and warnings to this regard.
An inappropriate handling of the high-
voltage battery can cause serious injuries
or death. Never remove the cover from
the high-voltage battery and never re-
move the high-voltage battery.
An inappropriate handling of the high-
voltage battery can cause serious injuries
or death. All maintenance works involving
the high-voltage battery should only be
performed by duly qualified and trained
technical staff . Never modify the high-
voltage battery in any way. When the

high-voltage battery is open, ensure it
does not come int
o cont
act with w
ater or
other liquids. Liquids may cause short cir-
cuits, electrical shocks and burns.
WARNING
The vehicle’s high-voltage network and the
high-voltage batt
ery are hazardous and
can cause burns, other injuries and an
electrical shock with deathly consequen-
ces.
●
Always consider that the high-voltage
battery is fully charged and that all the
high-voltage components are powered.
This may may be the case even with the
electric drive system and the ignition dis-
connected.
●
Never touch the high-voltage cables or
the high-voltage battery and its poles, and
never touch them with jewellery or other
metal objects, especially when the cables,
battery and its poles are damaged.
●
Never take it upon yourself to perform
any type of work on the high-voltage net-
work, on the high-voltage cables or the
high-voltage battery.
●
Never open the components or parts of
the high-voltage network. Never perform
any maintenance work on these elements,
nor repair or uncouple the high-voltage
network.
●
Never damage, modify or remove the or-
ange coloured high-voltage cables, and
