Measures During/After Activities

When carrying out any work on the high-voltage system, it is prohibited to drive externally any of the drive train components (wheels, gearbox, drive shafts, etc.).

E72 only:  When the Power Electronic Box Cover is removed, the high-voltage system is not permitted to be activated. The high-voltage safety connector may only be used if the Power Electronic Box Cover is fully installed.

High-voltage cables (orange coating) and their connectors and ferrules may not be repaired. If damaged, a cable must always be replaced completely.

When working in the vicinity of high-voltage components (identified accordingly with warning stickers and orange-coloured coating), protect these components against damage.

The specified work steps in the repair instructions must be adhered to exactly.

High-voltage components and their holders must be screwed/bolted to the defined tightening torque. Tightening torques and tightening specifications must be observed.

Connecting high-voltage components to body ground is crucial to safety for reasons of equipotential bonding. For this reason, it is prohibited to operate any high-voltage components without them being correctly connected to body ground.

For a correct earthing connection, the retaining elements of high-voltage components must not be painted. Follow further painting notes.

Removed energy accumulators must be stored in a manner that protects them from misuse and damage.
