Steps 16-23 only apply if electric brakes are to be installed.

Steps 16-23 only apply if electric brakes are to be installed.

The image with wiring diagram shows the principle of electric brake connection.

The system must be fused with quick-acting fuse, maximum 30A, and controlled with relay, see diagrammatic illustration. Use Maxi fuse (P/N 9441158), quick-acting fuse max. 30A by ATO (P/N 966331) or Mini (P/N 8470580) type. A separate holder must be used for these.

• Obtain positive feed (30+) from position 3 in the main fuse box, which is located beside the battery. Insert a 40A Midi fuse in the holder (P/N 9441937).

Connection of relay control to "Ignition on" in the rear electronic module (REM)

• Press in the catch on the front black connector in the cargo compartment fuse holder. Turn up the lock arm as far as possible and pull out the connector.

• Carefully prise apart the sides of the connector holder in the ends so that the connector can pass by the retaining hooks.

• Pull the connector out from the holder.

• Connect a replacement part terminal (P/N 30656727) to position 30 in the connector.

• Reinstall the connector in the holder and reinstall the whole unit in the fuse holder.

• Connect ground lead (31-) to the relay with a conductor with cable terminal (P/N 970784) to the existing ground terminal (1) behind the battery. Tighten the ground screw firmly.

Only applies if the brake lamp signal is to be connected to the electric brakes

• Connect a replacement part terminal (P/N 30656647) to position 1 in the tow hitch wiring's gray connector on the trailer module (TRM). Splice it with the cable for the brake lamp's input signal from the brake equipment, with a yellow butt connector (P/N 9130477).

• Connect the electric brakes after the relay with a fuse, maximum 30A. Connect the electric brake output to the trailer connector via pin 3, spare (see step 15).

  The cables should have a minimum 4 mm² cross-section if a 30A fuse is used.

  The equipment will be supplied with power as long as the car has its ignition on.

  
  

  Note! If the electric brakes are connected without relay control in accordance with above, then there is a risk that the car's battery will be discharged.

  
  

Only applies if the brake lamp function is to be used.

• Connect a replacement part terminal (P/N 30656647) to position 1 in the tow hitch wiring's gray connector on the trailer module (TRM). Splice it with the blue (BL) cable that is taped to the wiring, with a yellow butt connector (P/N 9130477).

  The brake lamp signal is now in position 3 in the trailer connector.

Only applies if the reverse lamp function is to be used.

• Connect a replacement part terminal (P/N 30656724) to position H in the tow hitch wiring's black connector on the fuse holder (REM). Splice it with the violet (VO) cable that is taped to the wiring, with a yellow butt connector (P/N 9130477).

  The reverse lamp signal is now in position 7 in the trailer connector.
