No restrictions regarding where the vehicle may be parked/held in storage.
Recommendation:
If a battery needs to be replaced, the battery should only be removed after the replacement battery has been delivered so that the replacement battery packaging can be used. |
- Park the vehicle in the defined quarantine location (outdoors and at a distance of at least 5 metres from buildings) and cordon off using high-voltage barrier tape VAS 6884 and warning signs VAS 6881, VAS 6882, VAS 6649, VAS 6786.
- Consult Technical Support and agree on how to proceed.
- Check the battery at regular intervals at least once a day.
- Observe a quarantine period of at least 5 days before transporting.
