2 Safety and installation instructions
Please observe the prescribed safety instructions and stipulations from the vehicle
manufacturer and service workshops.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for claims for damage resulting from the following:
z Faulty assembly or connection
z Damage to the product resulting from mechanical influences and excess voltage
z Alterations to the product without express permission from the manufacturer
z Use for purposes other than those described in the operating manual
Warning!
To prevent short circuits, always disconnect the negative terminal of the
vehicle's electrical system before working on it.
If the vehicle has an additional battery, its negative terminal should also be dis-
connected.
Warning!
Insufficient supply line connections could result in short circuits which
– Cause cable fires
– Trigger the airbags
– Damage electronic control devices
– Cause electric functions to fail (indicators, brake light, horn, ignition, light)
Warning!
Ensure that all lines are connected correctly. The control line may never be con-
nected to earth; doing so can damage the device. Make especially sure to in-
sulate the bare end of the control line when it is not in use and thus not
connected.
Please observe the following instructions:
z When working on the following supply lines, only use insulated cable lugs, plugs and
tab sleeves.
– 30 (direct supply from positive battery terminal)
– 15 (connected positive terminal, behind the battery)
– 31 (return line from the battery, earth)
– 58 (reversing light)
Do not use porcelain insulating clamps.
z Use a crimping tool to connect the cables.
For connections which are intended to be permanent, you can solder the cable ends
together and then insulate them.
z When connecting to supply line 31 (earth)
– Screw the cable to the cable lug and gear disc to the vehicle's earth bolt or
– With a cable lug and a self-tapping screw to the bodywork sheet metal.
Ensure that there is a good earth connection.
