Laying the sensor cables
Lay the sensor cables inside the vehicle to connect the sensors to the
electronic controller.
When laying electric connections, ensure that
They are not kinked or twisted,
They do not rub on edges,
They are not laid in sharp-edged ducts without protection.
Caution
Before making any drill holes, ensure that no electrical cables or other
parts of the vehicle can be damaged by drilling, sawing and filing.
➤ Take suitable precautions to protect holes made in the bodywork from water
penetration, for example by spraying the cable and the sleeve with sealant.
➤ Where possible, use existing rubber bungs in the boot for laying the
sensor cables. If there are no rubber bungs, make a suitable hole with a
diameter of around 15 mm and insert a cable sleeve.
Note
Pull the plugs of the sensor cables through the cable sleeve
before inserting the sleeve in the bodywork.
➤ Lay out the sensor cables in the boot so that they cannot be damaged
under any circumstances (e.g. by flying grit).
➤ Carefully fasten the sensor cables behind the bumper.
