I01￿High-voltage￿Components
8.￿Electric￿Heating
Due￿to￿the￿high￿efficiency￿considerably￿less￿heat￿is￿emitted￿from￿the￿electrical￿machine￿than￿from
combustion￿engines.￿The￿heat￿from￿the￿electrical￿machine￿can￿therefore￿not￿be￿used￿for￿heating.￿In
order￿to￿be￿able￿to￿control￿the￿interior￿temperature￿of￿the￿passenger￿compartment,￿electric￿heating￿is
installed￿in￿the￿I01.
The￿electric￿heating￿is￿a￿high-voltage￿component￿
Only￿Service￿employees￿who￿satisfy￿all￿the￿prerequisites￿are￿permitted￿to￿work￿on￿the￿designated
high-voltage￿components:￿suitable￿qualifications,￿compliance￿with￿the￿safety￿rules,￿procedure
following￿the￿repair￿instructions￿to￿the￿letter.
The￿diagnosis￿and￿repair￿of￿the￿high-voltage￿components￿is￿only￿allowed￿in￿a￿retail￿service
center￿that￿has￿qualified￿and￿certified￿service￿technicians.￿These￿technicians￿must￿have
completed￿the￿ST1403b￿I01￿High￿Voltage￿Battery￿and￿Maintenance￿instructor￿led￿course￿and
successfully￿passed￿the￿hands￿on￿certification.
