Hybrid or Electric Vehicle. Work performed on High Voltage systems by unqualified persons may
result in severe injury or damage to the vehicle. Additional safety information is found in Repair
Instruction 61 00… “Observe safety instructions when handling electric vehicles”.
Prior to disconnecting, or the removal of any HV component, the HV system needs to be disabled
and secured (by means of the HV Disconnect Switch) by a properly trained technician, Once the
vehicle’s HV system is disabled (the “Blitz” – lightning bolt icon displayed in instrument cluster, see
below).

High Voltage Battery removal and rework can be performed ONLY by a certified HV Specialist
Technician for the vehicle being repaired.

ISTA path:
Electric drive/High-voltage battery unit/Electric auxiliary heater for high-voltage battery unit
Only replace the electric auxiliary heater if the test module instructs you to replace it.
Warning! Risk of scalding: Carry out the repair work on the cooling system only when the engine has
cooled down.
Important: Life-time coolant filling - Never reuse used coolant!
Installation note: Only use prescribed coolant that applies to the vehicle! Observe the mixture ratio!
For cooling system disassembly/replacement work related to plastic and/or rubber components only where a
partial quantity of coolant is drained, new coolant must be used to replenish the amount that was drained, up
to the top up/full level.
DO NOT OVERFILL THE COOLANT SYSTEM.
