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 battery mayoverheat, damaging the battery and causing a
loss of per formance of the hybrid system. The hi
gh voltage battery has an air coolingsystem, comprising an air intake (located on
the rear shelf) and a fan (located behind the
boot trim).
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, thebattery may overheat, causing a loss of per formance of the hybrid system,- do not spill fluids, as this may cause damage to the battery.
