To ensure that the lithium ion battery is
maintained properly over time, the vehicle
must not be exposed to temperatures
below -10°C and above 40°C for extended
periods of time, as some vehicle functions
may change or become deactivated as the
battery capacity decreases outside this
temperature range.
The high-voltage battery is equipped with
conditioning systems that ensure that
it operates under the best temperature
conditions appropriate to its operation.
WARNING
1) Do not resell, give away or modify
the high-voltage battery. The high-
voltage battery must only be used on
the vehicle on which it is supplied. If
used outside the vehicle or modified,
accidents such as electric shock, heat
or smoke generation, explosion or
electrolyte leakage may occur. If the
vehicle 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.
5) Damage to the vehicle or the high-
voltage battery may cause harmful gases
to escape, which could cause a fire. In
the event of a fire, move away from the
vehicle, wear a reflective vest (if required
by the regulations in force), position
yourself in a safe place, and immediately
contact the rescuers, police or fire
brigade informing them that this is a
vehicle with a high voltage system.
6) The electrolyte inside the battery is a
polluting and flammable material. If the
high-voltage battery is not disposed of
properly, it may cause fire and pollute the
environment.
