Audi Q5 Type 8R (2008 - 2017) Service Manual / Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning / Warnings when Working on Vehicles with High Voltage System

Working on Vehicles with High-Voltage System (Hybrid Vehicles)

Extremely Dangerous Due to High-Voltage

The high-voltage system is under high-voltage. Death or serious bodily injury by electric shock.

- Individuals with electronic/medical life- and health sustaining machines in or on their person cannot perform any work on high-voltage systems. Life- and health sustaining machines are for example pain killer pumps, implanted defibrillators, pacemakers, insulin pumps, and hearing aids.

- Have the high-voltage system de-energized by a qualified person.

On electric - hybrid vehicles an active ready mode is difficult to identify. Parts of the body can be clamped or pulled.

- Turn off the ignition.

- Place the ignition key outside of the vehicle interior.

Risk of Damaging the High-Voltage Cables

Misuse can damage the insulation of high-voltage cables or high-voltage connectors.

- Never support objects on the high-voltage cables and the high-voltage connectors.

- Never support tools on the high-voltage cables and the high-voltage connectors.

- Never sharply bend or kink the high-voltage cables.

- When connecting pay attention to the coding of the high-voltage connectors.

Further information about the high-voltage system. Refer to → Rep. Gr.00; Safety Precautions or → Electrical Equipment; Rep. Gr.93; General Warnings for Working on High-Voltage System.

Performing a Visual Inspection of Damage to High Voltage Components and Cables

Extremely Dangerous Due to High-Voltage

The high-voltage system is under high-voltage. Electrocution can cause death or very serious personal injury from damages high-voltage components and high-voltage cables.

- Perform a visual inspection of the high-voltage components and the high-voltage cables.

- Never use tools that are for cutting, deformed, or sharp edged.

- Never use welding, soldering, thermal adhesive or hot air.
