vapours released during handling
or disconnection of the high-voltage
battery from the system are potentially
toxic and flammable;
damage to the vehicle or high-

or delayed release of toxic and/or
flammable gases or a fire;
PRECAUTIONS
RELATING TO THE
HIGH VOLTAGE
SYSTEM
modification work must usually be carried
out by qualified technicians.
76) According to ECE100 standard, the
label
is affixed to the vehicle's high-
voltage components with which the driver
may come into direct or indirect contact.
77) The components of the high-voltage
system are not repairable. All high voltage
wiring harness is orange. If necessary,
contact the Fiat Dealership for servicing
or repair work. NEVER touch the orange
wiring harness. Severe injury or death
by electric shock could result if the high-
voltage system components are damaged.
78) Do not pour water or any other kind
of liquid into the boot. Even if insulated
by specific protections, high voltage
components are mounted. Risk of death
by electrocution.
79) Never perform any operation on high
voltage components. In case of need,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
80) Even if the high-voltage battery is flat,
the high-voltage system will still remain live
- danger of fire or fatal injury. Do not touch
or modify live parts in any way (e.g. orange
cables, even with discharged high-voltage
batteries).

WORKS ON THE HIGH-
VOLTAGE SYSTEM
The high-voltage components are
orange.
The vehicle's high-voltage system:
is isolated from the vehicle and is
secured by protective equipment;
is protected from the outside
environment;
WARNING Non-insulated cables or
wires may be visible inside or outside
the car. Never touch cables and/or
connectors: electric shock could
occur, resulting in injury or death by
electrocution.
is only accessible for maintenance
work by qualified personnel.
The vehicle monitors the integrity of
the high-voltage system: if a fault is
detected, a dedicated message will
appear on the instrument panel display
together with the relevant icon.
WARNING Do not touch, disassemble
or remove the electric climate control
compressor.
Warnings
In case of fault, damage or fire to the
vehicle:
WARNING Do not touch / disassemble
/ remove the high-voltage battery.
the components of the high-voltage
system can be live and the high-voltage
battery can be charged;
IMPORTANT
the high-voltage battery, cables
and electrical components may be
exposed and pose a potential risk of
electrocution;
75) Improperly performed work, in
particular maintenance and repair work
on the high-voltage system, can result
in current leakage: risk of injury, burns
or death. Any maintenance, repair or
