Sportback, as of 2019 Option 2: (Fuse in boot) Raise underbody Remove flap 1 Pull out fuse 2 3 Do not touch, cut or open high voltage components or the high-voltage battery. Wear suitable safety equipment. In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the high-voltage system will be automatically deactivated. The high-voltage system is de-energised approx. 20 seconds after deactivation. Disconnect the 12-volt battery The 12-volt battery is located at the front end of the vehicle under the plenum chamber cover. 1 The black battery earth cable is bolted to the body either at the front plenum chamber wall (1) or at the suspension strut (2). The earth connection (negative terminal) of the battery can be separated from the body contact point here. 2 Separate from charging station (emergency release) Remove the cover 1 Pull the yellow loop Disconnect the charging connector 2 3 4.

Sportback, as of 2019 12 V There is a risk of a thermal reaction in the high-voltage battery if coolant escapes from the battery cooling system. Monitor the temperature of the high-voltage battery. 6. In case of fire Lithium-ion batteries can self-ignite spontaneously or after a delay in the event of damage or incorrect use, and can re-ignite after a fire has been suppressed. Wear suitable safety equipment. 7. In case of submersion After recovering the vehicle from the water, deactivate the high-voltage system (see Section 3) and allow the water to drain off. Wear suitable safety equipment. 8. Towing / transportation / storage Lithium-ion batteries can self-ignite, or re-ignite after a fire has been extinguished. If the vehicle has been involved in an accident or if the HV battery is damaged or suspicious: Deactivate the high-voltage system (see Section 3). Park the vehicle at a safe distance, at least 5 m, from buildings and other vehicles (quarantine area). Do not tow a vehicle that has been involved in an accident on its drive axles. 9. Important additional information 10.
