7 General information on the electrical
connections
7.1 Laying cables
I
Note
As far as possible, use original openings or alternative openings for
the connecting cable duct, e. g. the panelling edges, ventilation
grilles or blank panels. If no openings 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 come out.

Note
Cables and connections which 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.
Please observe the following instructions:
Wherever possible, lay cables inside the vehicle, as they are better
protected there than outside the vehicle.
If you do need to lay a cable outside the vehicle, ensure that it is well
secured (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, heater etc.).
Wrap insulating tape around the plug connections of the connecting
cables and every connection on a cable (including inside the vehicle) to
protect them from penetrating water (fig. a B, page 7). The most suitable
tape for this purpose is self-vulcanising tape, for example from 3M.
When laying electric connections (fig. 3, page 4), ensure that
– 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 vehicles to prevent tripping hazards. Use
cable binders, insulating tape or glue the cables in place.
