Fan cooling of the high voltage battery


This system does not work continuously,
but adapts the force of the fan cooling to the
requirements of the battery.
Its operation can be heard at the rear, even if
the vehicle is stopped after a run.
If the air intake is blocked, the batter
y mayoverheat, damaging the battery and causing a
loss of performance of the hybrid system.
For the best use of the high voltage battery, please follow these recommendations: - do not obstruct the air intake with loose ar ticles, other wise, the battery may overheat, causing a loss of performance of the hybrid system- do not spill fluids, as this may cause damage to the battery.
The high voltage battery has an air cooling system, comprising an air intake
(located on the side of the left hand rear seat) and a fan (located behind the lefthand boot trim panel).
