Warning symbols on the vehicle battery

Symbol Importance



Always wear eye protection.



Battery acid is severely caustic. Always wear gloves and eye pro-

tection.



Keep fire, sparks, open flames and lit cigarettes well clear of the

vehicle battery.



When charging the vehicle battery, a highly explosive gas mixture

is produced.



Keep children away from the vehicle battery.

WARNING

There is risk of injuries, poisoning, chemical burns, explosions or fire when

working on the battery and on the electrical system. It is essential to com-

ply with the general applicable safety rules as well as the warning instruc-

tions outlined below.

■

Keep the vehicle battery away from people who are not completely inde-

pendent, especially children.

■

Do not tilt the battery otherwise battery electrolyte may flow out of the

battery vent openings.

■

Protect your eyes by wearing safety goggles or a face shield – risk of

blindness!

■

Always wear protective gloves, eye and skin protection when handling

the vehicle battery.

■

The battery acid is strongly corrosive and must, therefore, be handled

with the greatest of care.

■

Corrosive fumes in the air irritate the air passages and lead to conjunctivi-

tis and inflammation of the air passages in the lungs.

■

Battery acid corrodes dental enamel and, if it comes into contact with the

skin, causes deep wounds that take a long time to heal.

■

If any battery acid comes into contact with your eyes, rinse the affected

eye immediately with clean water for several minutes and consult a doctor

immediately!

■

Splashes of acid on your skin or clothes should be neutralised as soon as

possible using soap suds and then rinsed with plenty of water.

■

If you swallow battery acid, consult a doctor immediately!

WARNING

■

The use of open flames and light should be avoided.

■

Smoking and radio triggering activities should be avoided.

■

Never use a damaged vehicle battery – risk of explosion!

■

Never charge a frozen or thawed vehicle battery – risk of explosion and

chemical burns!

■

Replace a frozen vehicle battery.

■

Never jump-start vehicle batteries with insufficient acid levels – risk of

explosion and chemical burns.

CAUTION

■

Improper handling of the vehicle battery may cause damage.

■

Ensure that battery acid does not come into contact with the bodywork – risk

of damage to the paintwork.

■

If the vehicle has not been driven for more than 3 to 4 weeks, the battery will

discharge. Prevent the battery from discharging by disconnecting the battery's

negative terminal



or continuously charging the battery with a very low

charging current.

■

Do not place the battery in direct daylight in order to protect the vehicle bat-

tery housing from the effects of ultra-violet light.

■

If the vehicle is frequently used for making short trips, the vehicle battery

will not have time to charge up sufficiently and may discharge.

For the sake of the environment

A vehicle battery that has been removed is a special type of hazardous waste.

These must therefore be disposed of in accordance with national legal regula-

tions.

Note

■

We recommend having all work on the vehicle battery carried out by a spe-

cialist garage.

■

You should replace batteries older than 5 years.

Inspecting and replenishing

I bought my 2016 Skoda Citigo two months ago and can't find out why it will suddenly ping for no obvious reason, some times pining three or four time in a row. My partner noticed the numbers 1-5 with an arrow coming up on the right hand side of the odometer but we can't find out what they or the mysterious pinging is. Please can you help. Thank you Submitted on 15-9-2022 at 10:11
