Important Information
Read out the defect code memories before disconnecting the battery and on completion of
assembly.
It is possible that the connections and/or pin assignments change during the course of further
development. For this reason, the currently valid ETM (Electrical Troubleshooting Manual) must
always be used for installation purposes.
Jumpers, double crimp connections or parallel connections will be required if the specified pin
chambers are occupied.
Take care not to kink, bend or damage cables when installing in the vehicle as otherwise faults
may occur that require extensive additional work to subsequently locate them. The costs incurred
will not be reimbursed!
All wiring harnesses and lines are to be fitted and secured such that they are not bent, cannot
sag, chafe or be pinched.
Tie back excessive length of wiring harnesses and lines and use cable straps to secure at suitable
positions.
Ensure the wiring cannot snag.
Item numbers refer only to the overviews or to the texts next to the corresponding figure.
Subject to technical modifications.

Install front left and right door trim panels. Install rear left and right side trim panels.3
It is important to precisely observe the following procedure for affixing the stickers to ensure they remain adhered permanently.
1. The speaker covers must be dry, clean, free of dust and grease. The temperature during
the adhesion process must be at least 15 ûC.
2. Clean the surfaces to be adhered with spirits.
3. Allow cleaned surfaces to air for approx. 15 minutes.
4. Remove protective film from the stickers and affix the stickers as illustrated below.
5. The stickers achieve their maximum adhesion force after approx. 48 hours.
0
Adhere stickers positioned horizontally and in the
centre of the front speaker covers.
0
Adhere stickers positioned horizontally and approx.
86 mm (a) from the bottom edge of the rear speaker covers.

9. Concluding jobs/encoding
Connect battery.
Carry out function check.
Reassemble vehicle in reverse order of removal.
This system does not require encoding.
10. Start-up
After switching on the radio, the volume control on the radio control panel should be set to
a low volume to ensure an extremely high volume level is not set after the delayed cut-in
of the sound module amplifier!
The sound module is equipped with a switch-on delay facility in order to avoid damaging the audio
system.
The amplifier cuts in in full 2 - 6 seconds after switching on the radio!
Please point out these requirements to the customer when handing over the vehicle.
