Caution

Do not drill into any wires!

For reasons associated with corrosion protection, use avacuum to continually collect the drilling chips while drill-ing. Corrosion damage due to drilling chips is not coveredby the vehicle's warranty.


4 3 Sequence of operations

– Drill out the holes to 5.0 mm.

– Deburr the holes thoroughly.

– Carefully remove all chips from drilling, e.g. using a work-shop vacuum cleaner.

– In order to provide adequate protection against corrosion,apply the following products with a brush.

◆ Single-component primer filler/surfacer LGF.008.001.42/A3

Left-hand drive vehicles– Lay the retrofit wiring harness on the standard wiring har-

ness along the right sill and glove compartment to the databus diagnostic interface -J533- -A-.

Right-hand drive vehicles– Lay the retrofit wiring harness on the standard wiring har-

ness along the rear bench seat and centre console to thedata bus diagnostic interface -J533- -A-.

All vehicles– Disconnect the connector -A2-.
