Laying cables

Caution!
Before drilling any holes, make sure no electrical cables or other parts of
the vehicle can be damaged by drilling, sawing and filing.
Note
As far as possible, use original ducts for laying the cables, or other suitable
options such as panelling edges, ventilation grilles or dummy plugs.
If there is no rubber plug, make a suitable hole with a diameter of around
13 Ø mm and insert a cable sleeve.
Note
Cables and connections which are not properly installed will cause mal-
functions or damage to components. Correct installation of cables and
connections ensures lasting and trouble-free operation of the retrofitted
components.
Please observe the following instructions:
Wherever possible, lay cables inside the vehicle, as they are better protected
there than outside.
If you do need to lay a cable outside the vehicle, ensure that it is well fastened
(use additional cable ties, insulating tape etc.).
To prevent damage to the cables, make sure they are laid far enough away from
hot or moving vehicle components (exhaust pipes, drive shafts, light systems,
fans, heater etc.).
When laying the cables, make sure:
– They are not kinked or twisted
– They do not rub on edges
– They are not laid in sharp-edged ducts without protection
Attach the cables securely in the vehicle with cable binders, insulating tape or
by glueing them to prevent them from being tripped over.
Protect every through-hole made in the outer skin of the bodywork against water
penetration, for example by using a cable with a sealant and by spraying the ca-
ble and the the cable sleeve with sealant.
