Batteries age based on their use and their
operating time. It is advisable that you know
certain details regarding the correct handling
and care of the high-voltage battery so this
remains in good condition for longer and can
be used in a reliable manner. Carefully read
the following information and take into ac-
count the indications when using the vehicle.
WARNING
If the battery is charged in an inappropriate
manner, if no consideration is given to the
general safety measures, power sockets
and charging cables in poor condition are
used or the high-voltage battery is used in
an inadequate manner, this could lead to
short circuits, electrical shocks, explosions,
fires, burns and serious injuries, even death.
Always respect the stipulated order of
●
the operations to avoid the risk of suffering
an electrical shock or serious injuries due
to the residual energy in the charge accu-
mulator! Never unplug the connector from
the electrical network during the charge
process.
Only connect the charging cable to a
●
power socket that is protected from water,
humidity and other liquids.
When charging, only use power sockets
●
that are appropriately fitted, have been
checked and are not damaged, as well as
electrical installations that are in perfect
working order. Duly qualified technicians
High-voltage battery
should check the power sockets and the
electrical installation on a regular basis.
Never use damaged charging connectors
●
or cables. Before using the charging con-
nectors or cables, always check they are
not damaged.
Only use the charging cables supplied
●
with the vehicle or the charging station ca-
ble. In the event of needing replacement,
we recommend you only use SEAT charging
cables.
Never modify or repair the electrical
●
components, especially those belonging to
the high-voltage system.
Never charge the vehicle in places where
●
there is a danger of explosion. The compo-
nents of the charging cable can cause
sparks and, therefore, may ignite flamma-
ble fumes or explosives.
Never use the charging cable in combi-
●
nation with an extension cable, a cable
reel, a power strip or an adapter, such as a
travel adapter or a timer.
Always protect the connectors from hu-
●
midity, water and other liquids.
For safety reasons, never perform other
●
works on the vehicle while charging.
Always complete the charging process
●
before unplugging the connector from the
electrical network. Otherwise the charging
cable and the electrical installation may
also be damaged.
Always remove the charging cable be-
●
fore starting the vehicle. Place the protec-
tive caps and close the cover of the battery
charging socket.
Never charge several vehicles simultane-
●
ously from the power sockets of the same
protected electrical circuit. To charge oth-
er vehicles simultaneously, use another
electrical circuit. Always take into consid-
eration the maximum capacity of the elec-
trical circuit used. Given the case, contact
duly qualified personnel specialised in
electrical installations.
WARNING
If the vehicle is driven with a very low a
charge level of the high-voltage battery,
the vehicle may stall in traffic, causing seri-
ous damage or accidents and injuries.
CAUTION
Charging the high-voltage battery fre-
quently with a high charge power could
lead to a permanent reduction in the bat-
tery's charge capacity. Charge the high-
voltage battery preferably using a low
charge capacity, i.e. a home charging sta-
tion (wallbox) or a power socket that have
been checked.
