61 00 ... Notes On Handling Wiring Harnesses And Cables
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 BMW 550i and 2006 BMW 550i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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 parts; use muckets if necessary
- Secure additionally laid cables/leads with cable ties
In addition:
Shielded cables (coaxial cables):
IMPORTANT:
Shielded cables must not be repaired!
- 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 cables:
NOTE:
Fibre-optic cables are colored differently as follows:
- Green=MOST (M edia O riented S ystems T ransport) optical fibers
- Yellow=ISIS (I ntelligent S afety and I ntegration S ystem) optical fibers
- Orange=repair optical fibers
IMPORTANT:
- Fibre-optic cables are permitted to show only one junction point (bridge), replace fibre-optic cables if necessary
- Smallest permissible bending radius is 25 mm
- Avoid effects of heat ≥ 85 °
