1.1
Safety precautions when using testers and measuring instruments during
a road test
Risk of injury caused by unsecured testing and measuring in‐
struments
When the front passenger airbag is triggered in an accident, in‐
sufficiently secured testing and measuring instruments become
dangerous projectiles.
– Secure testing and measuring instruments on the rear seat.
Or
– Have a second person operate the test and measuring
equipment on the rear seat.
1.2
Safety precautions when working on a high-voltage system
Danger to life from high voltage
The high-voltage system is under high voltage. Severe or fatal
injury from electric shock.
– Persons with life-preserving or other electronic medical devi‐
ces in or on their body must not perform any work on the
high-voltage system. Such medical devices include internal
analgesic pumps, implanted defibrillators, pacemakers, insu‐
lin pumps and hearing aids.
– The high-voltage system must be de-energised by a suitably
qualified technician.
Risk of injury due to unexpected engine start
On electric and hybrid vehicles, it can easily be missed that the
vehicle is in “ready” mode. There is a risk of parts of the body
becoming trapped or drawn in.
