Danger to life due to high voltage
The high-voltage system is under high voltage. There is a risk of severe or fatal injury due to electric shock.
–  Persons with life-preserving or other electronic medical devices in or on their body must not perform any work on the high-voltage system. Such medical devices include internal analgesic pumps, implanted defibrillators, pacemakers, insulin pumps and hearing aids.
–  The high-voltage system must be de-energised by a suitably qualified technician.
 
 
     
Risk of injury due to unexpected engine start

–  Switch off ignition.
–  Always store the ignition key outside the vehicle.
