Information
Handling high-voltage lines:
- Do not support yourself or your tools on high-voltage lines and their components .
- Work involving metal-removing, deforming and sharp-edged tools close to high-voltage components and lines is prohibited .
- Work involving heat sources such as welding, soldering, hot air and thermal bonding close to high-voltage components and lines is prohibited .
- High-voltage lines must not be extensively bent or kinked .
- High-voltage lines (screwed connections) have 5 mating cycles. If these 5 mating cycles are exceeded, a visual inspection of the high-voltage connectors must be performed. Then contact Technical Support .
- In the event of queries or uncertainties, consult the relevant high voltage technician .
- Perform a visual inspection of the high-voltage connector.
If the high-voltage connector is OK, proceed as follows:
- Insert the high-voltage connector as far as it will go into the rear power electronics.
High-voltage line for power electronics
- Tighten the three fastening screws -1- for the high-voltage line connection for the rear power electronics. > Tightening torque 8 Nm (5.9 ftlb.)
- Fit body cover -1-
that allows access to the power electronics for the rear electric motor and press it in.
Body cover
Make sure that the body cover engages in the body all the way around.
- Fit rear loadspace floor.
