Engine compartment electric system.
The main sectioning of the positive, high-power cables is carried out directly on the battery’s
positive pole through a box complete with fuses. This solution is advantageous since no cable
sections are found which are not protected by a fuse (and, therefore, subjected to casual
short-circuits).
All the cables are electrically insulated and placed inside corrugated coverings for mechanic
protection against the possible risk of rubbing.
The electric insulation of the battery/starting motor power cable is made of a material which
features high resistance against the abrasions and cuts. Moreover, the cable routing has been
optimized, and special fasteners have been used.
Electric system inside the passenger compartment.
All the cables are protected by fuses located in the interconnecting control units located in the
engine compartment (FDU, front left side), passenger compartment (BCM, left side under the
dashboard) or luggage compartment (RDU, wired on the vehicle cable and positioned in the
rear left headlamp area).
The cable routing is properly arranged, to avoid cable pinching when the trimmings are fitted.
