least one of the following pieces of special equipment (SA), the other modules (MD) for the special equipment on
this level will also be integrated in the vehicle wiring harness.
The modules for the special equipment for the lower levels will then also be available.
Example: If a car is fitted with SA 536 (auxiliary heating system), all models on level 3, level 2 and level 1 will be
available.
Level 2
SA 235 (MD AHM) (trailer hitch)
SA 502 (MD SRA)
SA 508 (MD PDC)

Safety information
These installation instructions are only valid for LHD cars.
All lock nuts are to be replaced.
All tightening torque values are to be taken from the current repair instructions and must be observed at all times.
Ensure that cables and other lines are not kinked or damaged when they are being installed in the car and that
they do not impair the freedom of movement of other components.
If the specified pins or chambers are already in use, bridges, double crimps or parallel end stops are to be used.
Do not use so-called ”Scotchlock connectors" since they may cause faults in the vehicle's electrical system.
