Component	Fuel system, other
Remedy	Until further notice, prohibit charging the high-voltage battery using an external power source and prohibit the use of e-tron mode (battery charging and battery maintenance). If a warning light illuminates, inspect the vehicle at an official service center and replace the high-voltage battery if necessary.
