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

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.

the glove box. Connect branch A(X991, 26-pin plug, Bordeaux) to the control module for the automatic headlight
adjustment control system (1) and secure it. The xenon wiring harness goes to the right and splits near the A pillar.
Branches B1to I3go downwards along the vehicle wiring harness, branches B1to C2then go to the
connector box (2). Branches Jto K3go upwards along the vehicle wiring harness.
C
Release the connector box (2) and swing it forwards.
Unclip the K bus multiple connector (X10116, white/red/yellow cables) (3) and terminal 31 multiple connector
(X596, brown/black cables) (4).
If there are any unoccupied slots in the multiple connectors X10116 (3) and X596 (4), connect branches B2,
white/red/yellow cable, and C2, brown/black cable, to the corresponding cable colours.
The procedure if all the slots are occupied is described for multiple connector X10116 (3). If necessary
proceed accordingly for multiple connector X596 (4).
Disconnect a white/red/yellow cable from multiple connector X10116 (3) and connect it to the triple connector
X10466* (B1). Connect branch B2, white/red/yellow cable, to the now unoccupied slot on multiple connector
X10116 (3).
Clip multiple connectors X10116 (3), X10466* (B1), X596 (4) and X1608* (C1) into the connector box (2) and mount
