Electronics module
The electronics module should always be mounted with 4 mm metal bolts or the supplied
double-sided adhesive tape in the passenger cabin of the vehicle. Avoid locations with
exposure to significant heat, humidity and high-voltage components. Preferred assembly
locations: Under the dashboard on the driver's side, behind the glove compartment or the
footboard of the driver's side or passenger side (see
G). Do not mount the electronics
module inside the engine compartment. Mark the drill holes, prick punch and drill two 3-
mm-drill holes for the assembly. Always check the discharge side for free passage before
drilling.
Temporarily install the electronics module in the selected position.
The cable passage must be determined first before securing the electronics module.
When assembly is complete, attach the module in the selected position.
Cable harness
Once the installation location of the electronics module has been determined, the cable
harness of the cruise control can be fitted.
Command module (see
H 1). A number of command modules are available in each
application to ensuere a degree of operating comfort. The cruise control's command
module must be fitted in a location where safe working can be guaranteed under any
circumstances. Suitable locations are on the dashboard or the central console, depending
on the design and accessibility as well as the command module.
After selecting a suitable location for the command module, a 6 mm large drill hole must
be drilled in the vicinity of the command module. The cables of the commandmodule can
now be led through this drill hole to the cable harness of the cruise control. The cable
connections of the command module can now be pushed into the compact connector
and inserted into the 8-pin empty housing. Connect the assembled 8-pin compact
connector from the control unit to the 8-pin connector of the main cable harness.
