2.1.1 Working on high-voltage vehicles
WARNING
Safety hazard: the engine can start unexpectedly.
Before carrying out general work on a vehicle with high-voltage
electrical system, switch off the ignition and remove the ignition
key from the vehicle.
WARNING
Working on vehicles with high-voltage wiring:
• Do not support yourself or tools on high-voltage wiring or
associated components --> this can damage the insula‐
tion.
• High-voltage wiring must not be excessively bent or
kinked --> this can damage the insulation.
• The round high-voltage connectors are colour-coded with
an external coloured ring and are provided with mechan‐
ical coding or guide lugs. It is important to observe this
coding when joining up the round high-voltage connec‐
tors, otherwise the connectors can be damaged.

2. Safety precautions 3
DANGER!
Risk of fatal injury if high-voltage components are damaged.
Observe the following when working in the vicinity of high-volt‐
age components or wiring:
♦ It is not permitted to use cutting or forming tools, other
sharp-edged tools or heat sources such as welding, braz‐
ing, soldering, hot air or thermal bonding equipment.
♦ Before starting work, visually inspect the high-voltage
components in the areas involved.
♦ Before working in the engine compartment, visually in‐
spect the power and control electronics for electric drive -
JX1- , electric drive motor - V141- , air conditioner
compressor - V470- and high-voltage wiring.
♦ Before working on the vehicle underbody, visually inspect
the high-voltage wiring and covers.
♦ Before working on the rear section of the vehicle, visually
inspect the high-voltage wiring and the electro-box with
the maintenance connector for high-voltage system - TW
- .
♦ Visually inspect all potential equalisation lines.
Check the following when making the visual inspection:
♦ There must be no external damage on any component.
♦ The insulation of the high-voltage wiring and potential
equalisation lines must not be damaged.
♦ There must be no unusual deformation of the high-voltage
wiring.
♦ All high-voltage components must be identified by a red
warning sticker.
De-energising high-voltage system
DANGER!
High voltage can cause fatal injury.
Danger of severe or fatal injuries from electric shock.
♦ The high-voltage system may only be de-energised by a
suitably qualified person (Audi high-voltage technician).
♦ It must be definitely confirmed that the high-voltage sys‐
tem is de-energised. The system may only be de-ener‐
gised using the vehicle diagnostic tester via “Guided Fault
Finding”.
♦ The qualified person (Audi high-voltage technician) con‐
firms that the system is de-energised and uses the locking
cap - T40262- to ensure that the system cannot be re-
energised. The ignition key and the maintenance connec‐
tor for high-voltage system - TW - are then stored in a safe
place by the qualified person.
♦ The qualified person (Audi high-voltage technician) marks
the vehicle by attaching the appropriate warning signs.
