Verification and replacement
on level ground, the wheels must be locked
and, where appropriat
e, the vehicle key
must be removed from the ignition lock.
●
If work must be performed underneath
the vehicle, take the extra precaution of
supporting it safely using suitable assem-
bly support. The jack is not suitable for this
purpose and may not withstand, which
could lead to serious injuries.
WARNING
The engine compartment of any vehicle is a
danger
ous area in which serious injuries
can be caused!
●
When perf
orming any type of work, al-
ways ensure you are extremely cautious,
and bear in mind the general safety meas-
ures. Never put yourself at risk.
●
Never perform works in the engine com-
partment if you do not have solid knowl-
edge of the necessary operations. If you
are unsure of what needs to be done, seek
a specialised workshop to perform the
works. Works performed inadequately,
could lead to serious injuries.
●
Never open the bonnet if the engine com-
partment is discharging steam or engine
coolant. Steam or hot coolant can cause
severe burns. Always wait until you stop
hearing or seeing the steam or coolant dis-
charging from the engine compartment.
●
Before opening the bonnet, al
ways wait
until the electric drive system and the high-
voltage components have cooled down.
●
If you touch hot parts of the electric drive
system, you may suffer skin burns.
●
When the electric drive system has
cooled down, before opening the bonnet
bear in mind the following:
–
Engage the handbrake, tighten it and
place the selector lever in position P or
the gear lever in neutral.
–
Switch off the ignition, remove the key
from the ignition lock and store it in a
safe place at a safe distance from the
vehicle to prevent the ignition from
turning on by mistake or power the
electrical system.
–
Always keep children away from the
engine compartment and never leave
them unsupervised.
●
When the electric drive system is hot, its
cooling system is under pressure. Never
open the coolant expansion tank cap when
the drive system is hot. Otherwise the cool-
ant could splash and cause severe burn
and other injuries.
–
Turn the coolant expansion tank cap
slowly and very carefully anticlockwise
while pressing it down slightly.
–
Always protect your face, hands and
arms from the hot coolant and steam
with a large thick cloth.
●
When refilling operating fluids, ensur
e
they do not spill onto the components of
the engine or onto the exhaust system.
These liquids could cause a fire.
WARNING
The electrical system is under high voltage
and can cause el
ectrical shocks, burns, se-
rious injuries and ev
en death!
●
Never short circuit the electrical system.
The 12-volt battery may explode.
●
To reduce the risk of suffering a fatal
electrical shock and serious injuries, while
the drive system is connected or is con-
necting, never touch the high-voltage com-
ponents, the high-voltage battery or the
high-voltage system, especially the orange
coloured high-voltage cables.
WARNING
The engine compartment contains rotating
parts that could cause serious injuries.
●
Ne
ver insert your hand in the radiator fan
or around that area. All the rotor blades
can cause serious injuries. The fan acti-
vates depending on the temperature and
can switch on automatically, even with the
ignition disconnected and with the key re-
moved from the ignition lock.
●
If you have to perform works during the
disconnection of the drive system or which
it connected, bear in mind that the rotating
