The cable connectors must only be used inside the vehicle. Cable connectors must only be used once.

Use only 2-, 4-, 6- and 10-terminal cable connectors released by DaimlerChrysler.

The approved cable connectors must only be used for a cable cross section of 0.35 to 0.75 mm² .

They are not approved for CAN lines.

Select cable connectors according to the cable cross-sections and the number of cables.
Insert the cables individually into the notches one by one (arrows).

At the ends of cables, ensure that the wire is positioned such that distance (a) between the end of the wire and the edge of the housing is approx. 2 mm (arrow). Make sure that this distance is not too long or too short.

Only this ensures that the line is clamped twice and that the distance to the edge of the housing is large enough to prevent a short circuit.
