61 00... Notes on handling wiring harnesses and cables
The following applies in general
To avoid damage, observe the following instructions:
- Avoid compressive and tensile loads
- Make sure cables are laid without kinks or abrasions
- Ensure non-contacting routing at sharp-edged body components; use edge protection if necessary
- Secure additionally laid cables/lines with cable straps
The following additionally applies
Shielded lines
Contact points in the shield can cause problems with regard to noise radiation and interference immunity. Consequently, distinctions have to be drawn between the following types:
Coaxial line
- Shielded RTK031 coaxial lines may only be repaired with special crimping tools.
CVBS lines
- CVBS lines may not be repaired.
- CVBS lines must be replaced in their entirety.
HSD lines
- HSD lines may not be repaired.
- HSD lines must be replaced in their entirety.
Optical fibre cable:
- Green = MOST (M edia O riented S ystems T ransport) optical fibre
- Yellow = ISIS (I ntelligent S afety I ntegration S ystem) optical fibre
- Orange = repair optical fibre cables
- Optical fibre cables are permitted to show only one separation point (bridge), replace optical fibre cables if necessary
- Smallest permissible bending radius is 25 mm
- Avoid influence of heat = 85°
Treating cables and optical fibre cables
FlexRay:
It is possible to repair the FlexRay. In the event of damage, the cables can be joined with conventional butt connectors.
- The line is a twisted cable. If possible, maintain twist in line after repair.
Airbag lines:

The following applies in general
To avoid damage, observe the following instructions:
- Avoid compressive and tensile loads
- To ensure professional repairs, perform repair work only with BMW-approved or recommended special tools and spare parts
- Make sure cables are laid without kinks or abrasions
- Ensure non-contacting routing at sharp-edged body parts; use edge protection if necessary
- Secure additionally laid cables/leads with cable ties
The following additionally applies
Shielded lines (coaxial lines):
- This may lead to indifferences in noise radiation and interference immunity at contact points in the shield
- To satisfy the requirements of the type approval, it is essential to replace shielded cables completely
Fibre-optic cable:
- Green = MOST (M edia O riented S ystems T ransport) optical fibre
- Yellow = ISIS (I ntelligent S afety I ntegration S ystem) optical fibre
- Orange=repair fibre-optic cables
- Optical fibres may only reveal one separation point (bridge); renew optical fibre if necessary
- Smallest permissible bending radius is 25 mm
- Avoid effects of heat ≥ 85°
FlexRay:
It is possible to repair the FlexRay. In the event of damage, the cables can be joined with conventional BUTT CONNECTORS AND HEAT-SHRINK HOSES .
- FlexRay lines may only reveal one separation point (bride); renew complete line if necessary
- The cable is a twisted cable. If possible, maintain twisted cable after repair
