7.1 General notes on laying cables
I
Note
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 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 that are not properly installed will cause
malfunctions or damage to components. Correct installation of ca-
bles and connections ensures lasting and trouble-free operation of
the retrofitted components.
Therefore, please observe the following instructions:
z 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.).
z When laying the cables (fig. 3, page 3), make sure:
– They are not kinked or twisted
– They do not rub on edges
– They are not laid through sharp-edged ducts without protection
z Protect every hole you drill against water penetration, e.g. by using a ca-
ble with a sealant and by spraying the cable and the the cable sleeve with
sealant.
