Information
- New electric lines are secured at the mounting points for the old electric lines.
- The damaged electric wire harness remains installed in the vehicle.
- The damaged electric wire harness is only disconnected directly at connected components.
Information
- Do not damage the insulation on the optical waveguides during installation.
Information
The range of spare parts available for optical waveguides depends on equipment. There is a specific set containing the individual optical waveguides to suit the equipment in the vehicle.
Select the required optical waveguide and remove it from the set.
- Route new optical waveguide along main wire harness, guide it through the existing cable ducts and tie it to the main wire harness using tie-wraps.
