Warning!Inadequate cable connections can lead to short-circuits which cause
the following:
• cable fires
• triggering of the airbag
• damage to electronic control equipment
• failure of electrical functions (blinkers, brake-lights, horn, ignition, lights).
Please note the following:
When working on the cabling of the vehicle, the following terminal designations
apply:
30 (input of battery plus direct),
15 (switched plus, behind battery)
31 (recirculation from battery, mass)
58 (parking light) (back-up light)
The securest form of connection is obtained by solderingthe cable ends and then
insulating the connection.
For detachable connections, only insulated cable lugs, connector plugs, and flat pin
bushings must be used. Do not use insulating screw joints.
Use crimping pliers to connecting the cables with cable lugs, plugs or flat pin bushings.
With cable connections to 31 (mass):
Screw the cable with cable lug and toothed lock washer to a vehicle-specific mass bolt or
screw it with a cable lug, self-tapping screw and toothed lock washer to the car's
bodywork.
Always ensure that the connection is properly earthed!
Warning! Due to the risk of short-circuits, always disconnect the negative
terminal of the battery before starting to work on the electrical equipment of the
vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with a supplementary battery, also disconnect
its negative terminal.
Caution!When disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery, all volatile
memories of the comfort-electronics lose their stored data.
