Incorrect handling of the high-voltage
battery can cause serious injuries or
death. Maintenance work on the high-
voltage battery must only be performed
by specialized personnel with the corre-
sponding qualifications and training. Nev-
er modify the high-voltage battery. When
the high-voltage battery is open, ensure it
does not come into contact with water or
other liquids. Liquids may cause short cir-
cuits, electrical shocks and burns.

charge level of at least 30%. This situation
occurs, for example, when you leave your ve-
hicle at the airport before a trip.
Please also observe the applicable SEAT
warranty conditions for the high-voltage bat-
tery.
●
Do not expose the vehicle to outside tem-
peratures below -30°C or above 60°C for
over 24 hours.
Conservation instructions
CAUTION
SEAT recommends the following conserva-
tion instructions:
The high-voltage battery must not be used
as a stationary power supply. This can
cause irreversible damage to the high-volt-
age battery.
●
Only charge the high-voltage battery when
a low charge level is displayed on the instru-
ment cluster, or when the electric range is low

CAUTION
Do not directly charge the high-voltage
battery after only a short drive in full electric
mode.
If the vehicle is parked for a long time with
the high-voltage battery discharged, it
may no longer be possible to charge the
battery or start the vehicle. Irreversible
damage could be caused to the high volt-
age battery in the long term.

Lithium ion batteries are subject to ageing
and wear and tear throughout their useful life
due to their physical and chemical charac-
teristics. Correct handling of the high-voltage
battery makes an essential contribution to
keeping it in a reliable state in the long term
and to achieving high battery capacity and
range. Therefore, it is extremely important to
respect the following conservation instruc-
tions for the high voltage battery. These
