Safety Precautions – High Voltage/Mains Voltage


Very high voltages occur in electrical systems. Due to voltage flashover on damaged components, such as marten damage or touching live components, the risk of electric shock is likely. High voltage via the vehicle and line voltage via the building's mains supply can cause severe injury or even death if adequate care is not taken. Voltage flashovers can occur, for example, on the primary and secondary side of the ignition system, the high-voltage charge terminal, the lighting systems, or the wiring harness with plug connectors. Therefore regard the following: Only use power supply cables with grounding contact. Always use the original cable set. Regularly check cables and power adapters for damage. Repair work, such as replacing components and connecting a diagnostic device, shall only be carried out with the ignition switched off. Do not touch live components when ignition is switched on.
