Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Battery Safety Precautions
| Recognizing and Preventing Risks |
| Batteries present risks. Read the warnings on the battery
label, in the owner's manual and in ELSA to prevent these risks. |
WARNING
| Personnel instructed in protection, such as a
trainee or apprentice, may only perform work on vehicle
batteries under the supervision of technical personnel
such as a master automotive mechanic or a master
automotive electrician. |
| Acid has strong corrosive properties. If batteries
are handled inappropriately, there is a risk that
personal injury may result from exposure to harmful
electrolyte influences. Therefore, suitable remedies for
acid damage must be kept readily available. For example,
soap solution is a suitable material. |
| If electrolyte drips out from the battery, skin can
be burned by acid or the vehicle may be affected by acid
erosion and corrosion. It is a possibility that
safety-related vehicle components can be damaged. |
| When charging and when resting after charging,
explosive gas is present. In extreme cases, if the
battery is handled inappropriately, the emitted gases
may cause the battery to explode. |
| Batteries whose visual indicators are bright yellow
must be replaced. They may not be tested or charged and
jump starting may not be used. There is a risk of
explosion during testing, charging or jump starting. |
| Generating sparks by sanding, welding, separating
work and open flame, for example, smoking in vicinity of
the battery, is prohibited. Producing sparks through
electrostatic discharge must also be avoided. Always
touch the vehicle body before touching the battery. |
| Only perform battery procedures in suitable and
well-ventilated locations. |
