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
After an accident.
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.
