Check
1 All tooling, equipment, protection products and aids, which are specified for safe operation and working on, with or in the vicinity of electrical systems, must be suitable for such use, be in proper working condition and be deployed as intended.
2 Visual inspection of protective gloves before each use for cracks, piercing, abrasion or any other form of damage.
3 Check protective gloves for leaks before each use through trapping air in the glove and rolling it up (or by using a pneumatic glove tester).
4 Additional tests as specified by manufacturer.
DC charging (high-voltage battery): DC charging function test during workshop visit
During the replacement of some components of the charging system (vehicle socket, high-voltage wiring harness, contactor box) as well as in the case of customer complaints relating to DC charging, it may be necessary to perform a function test by briefly connecting the vehicle to a DC charger.
Additional information will be made available in good time for the market launch in the repair and/or diagnostic descriptions in WIS as well as in the XENTRY Portal Parts Information "Workshop Equipment".
