Information on electrical connection

A
NOTICE! Damage hazard
• Cables and connections that are not properly installed will cause
malfunctions or damage to components. Correct installation of
cables and connections ensures lasting and trouble-free operation of
the retrofitted components.
• The cables may not be exposed for long periods to solvents such as
benzene, since solvents can damage the cable.
• When testing the voltage in electrical cables, only use a diode test
lamp (fig. 2 8, page 4) or a voltmeter (fig. 2 9, page 4).
Test lamps with a bulb (fig. 2 11, page 4) consume voltages which
are too high and can damage the vehicle's electronic system.
• Insulate all connections.
• Secure the cables against mechanical wear by using cable binders or
insulating tape, for example on existing cables.
The cameras are waterproof. However, the seals on the cameras cannot withstand a
high-pressure cleaner (fig. 5, page 5). Therefore, you should observe the following
instructions when handling the cameras:
A
NOTICE! Damage hazard
• Do not open the cameras, as this impairs the leak tightness and the
function of the cameras (fig. 6, page 5).
• Do not pull at the cables, as this impairs the tightness and the function
of the cameras (fig. 7, page 5).
• The cameras are not suitable for use under water (fig. 8, page 5).
Observe the following instructions:
• 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 no open-
ings are available, you must drill holes for the cables. Check beforehand that
there is sufficient space on the other side for the drill head to emerge.
• 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 when laying them, ensure that they are far
enough away from hot or moving vehicle components (exhaust pipes, drive
shafts, light systems, fans, heaters, etc.). Use corrugated piping or other
protective materials to protect against mechanical wear.
