General information
WARNING
Pyrotechnic components.
Danger! Life-threatening injuries!
• All work on pyrotechnic parts may be carried out by technically experienced and appropriately trained personnel
only.
• Replace any damaged part or ones that have been dropped.
• For additional information see: 72 00 Safety regulations on handling components with gas generators.
PRELIMINARY WORK
1–Deactivating the 48 V electrical system
Additional information is available.
Prerequisite
Ignition is switched off.
WARNING
Deactivation of the 12 V vehicle electrical system.
Risk of short circuits! Risk of fire!
• Make sure that no battery charger is connected to the jump start terminal point in the engine compartment.
• For vehicles with additional electrical systems (48 V electrical system, high-voltage vehicle electrical system), it
is mandatory to deactivate them before disconnecting the vehicle battery.
WARNING
Deactivation of the 48 V electrical system.
Risk of short circuits! Risk of fire!
• Make sure that no charger is connected to the jump start support point in the engine compartment.
RISK OF DAMAGE
Damage to 48-V battery
If a 48-V battery that is disconnected from the electrical system is activated, the battery electronics will be
damaged.
• Only carry out activation of the 48V electrical system with a completely connected 48-V battery.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Follow notes for 48-V battery. See further information 6120 ... Notes on 48-V battery.
• Deactivate the 48V electrical system by opening the bonnet.
