Technical description

driving. The battery can only be fully charged using the appropriate
charging systems.
The high-voltage battery is located at the bottom of the car in a
central area and is maintenance-free.
Lithium-ion batteries provide the following benefits:
-
are much lighter than other types of chargeable batteries of the
same size;
-
keep the charge longer;
-
can be charged/discharged thousands of times.
The High-Voltage components on the car are cooled by an auxiliary
circuit located inside the engine compartment.
NOTE
If the battery pack needs to be cooled, the electric climate control
compressor is automatically activated even when the passenger
compartment cooling function is not operating. The High-Voltage
battery is cooled by the refrigerant gas also used by the passenger
compartment air conditioning system.
ATTENTION
1.
Do not resell, give away or modify the High-Voltage battery.
The High-Voltage battery must only be used on the car on
which it is supplied. If used outside the car or modified,
accidents such as electric shock, heat or smoke generation,
explosion or electrolyte leakage may occur. If the car is
scrapped without removing the High-Voltage battery, contact
with High-Voltage components, cables and connectors could
cause very dangerous electric shock. If the High-Voltage
battery is not disposed of properly, it may cause electric shock,
resulting in serious injury or death.
2.
The mains power supply and the High-Voltage battery are
potentially dangerous: they can cause injury, burns and risk of
electrocution. Always take great care.
3.
Never touch or tamper with the cables and components of the
High-Voltage battery in any way: do not allow the High-Voltage
battery components to come into contact with bracelets,
necklaces or any metal objects worn.
4.
Do not open, modify or remove the High-Voltage battery cover:
any gases released may be harmful and flammable: avoid
inhaling the gases.
