High-voltage battery
Safety instructions
Introduction
Valid for: hybrid vehicles
WARNING
The vehicle's high-voltage network and the
high-voltage battery are hazardous and can
cause burns and other injuries, including fa-
tal electric shocks.
●
It should always be assumed that the high-
voltage battery is fully charged and that all
of its components are live. This may also be
the case when the ignition is switched off.
●
Never touch the high-voltage cables, the
high-voltage battery or its poles, or allow
them to come into contact with jewellery or
other metal objects, especially if the high-
voltage cables, the high-voltage battery or
its poles are damaged.
●
Never take it upon yourself to perform any
type of work on the high-voltage network, on
the high-voltage cables or the high-voltage
battery.
●
Never open or perform maintenance or
repairs on components or parts of the high
voltage network, or disconnect them from
this network.
High-voltage battery Safety instructions
●
Never damage, modify or remove the or-
ange high voltage cables or disconnect them
from the high voltage network.
●
Never open, modify or remove the cover
from the high-voltage battery.
●
Work on the high-voltage system, as well
as on any systems that may be indirectly in-
fluenced by it, should only be carried out by
specialized personnel with the correspond-
ing qualifications and training.
●
Work in the immediate vicinity of high-volt-
age cables and high-voltage components
with tools that are sharp, give off shavings or
that have heat sources, such as hot air, ther-
mal bonding or welding work, may only be
performed after disconnecting the voltage.
The high voltage should only be disconnec-
ted by specialized personnel with the corre-
sponding qualifications and training.
●
All SEAT guidelines and standards must be
followed when performing any work on the
high-voltage system and the high-voltage
battery.
●
The gases that are emitted or leaked from
the high-voltage battery may be toxic or
flammable.
●
Damage to the vehicle or high voltage bat-
tery could cause an immediate or delayed
leak of toxic gases. The emitted gases could
also cause a fire. Do not inhale the gases.
●
Never touch the liquids that spill from the
high voltage battery and do not touch the
emitted gases, particularly if the battery is
damaged.
●
In the event of a fire, leave the danger area
and call the fire department.
●
Always inform the fire fighters and the
emergency service that the vehicle is fitted
with a high-voltage battery.
WARNING
If works are performed on the high-voltage
system and on the high-voltage components
in an inappropriate manner, this may lead
to faults in the operation, accidents and inju-
ries.
●
Work on the high-voltage system must
only be performed by authorized specialized
services with the corresponding permit.
NOTICE
If the vehicle suffers an accident or collision
with an obstacle, the high-voltage battery
must be checked by specialized personnel
with the corresponding qualifications and
training.
NOTICE
If the 12-volt vehicle battery has been dis-
connected, discharged or replaced, there is
a chance that the combustion engine may
not initially turn off automatically after mov-
ing off. If this situation lasts for several days,
contact a qualified specialized workshop.
SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT partner for
this.
