Safety Precautions

WARNING: Do not touch components and open lines of the high-voltage on-board electrical system. Persons who are equipped with electronic implants (e.g. cardiac pacemakers), must not carry out any work on high-voltage on-board electrical systems.

CAUTION: All components of the high-voltage on-board electrical system are marked with a yellow adhesive warning label on which the pictogram for high-voltage is represented. All electrical lines for high voltages are marked by a warning color (orange).

CAUTION: While working on the high-voltage on-board electrical system, ensure that:

On vehicles with code (889) Keyless Go: Press keyless go start/stop button repeatedly until ignition is switched off. Remove transmitter key from vehicle and store it in a location beyond its transmission range (at least 2 m).
System is de-energized.
System is unable to be accidentally re-energized.
Service Disconnect Switch is stored safely out of the way.

NOTE: For activities on high-voltage on-board electrical systems the following notes should be observed and adhered to:

Cable lugs, contactings and electrical connectors should be protected against dirt with suitable protective bags.
Contacts, electrical lines and electrical connectors should be checked for dirt and damage before assembly, if necessary they should be cleaned or replaced
Screw contacts should be tightened with the specified torque and if necessary the tightening angle.
