61 00... Notes on handling wiring harnesses and cables
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2008 BMW 760Li, 2007 BMW 760Li, 2006 BMW 760Li, 2005 BMW 760Li, and 2004 BMW 760Li. 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) fibre-optic cables
- Yellow = ISIS (I ntegrated S ervice and I nformation S erver) fibre-optic cables
- Orange = repair fibre-optic cables
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 °
