unfused connections be made directly
to any of the vehicle's battery terminals.
An increase in battery drain due to an
auxiliary load will void the battery
warranty.

Auxiliary loads must always be connected
to the vehicle ground and not to the battery
negative terminal.
•
For auxiliary customer electrical loads, a
suitable fused connection must be used.

If multiple auxiliary loads are required, it is
recommended that an auxiliary fuse box is
fitted to the vehicle.

For the connection of auxiliary exterior lighting,
refer to the guidelines given in the exterior
lighting section.
Refer to: 4.3 Exterior Lighting (page 63).
Auxiliary loads for external devices which require
an ignition feed (such as UHF/CB radios) may be
connected via a relay energised by the IG+ feed
to the Body Control Module.
WARNING: Under no circumstances
should the IG+ feed be used to drive
auxiliary loads directly. A suitable relay
must be used.
The Body Control Module is positioned on the
