Main unit, radio (353): Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: The optic cables must be handled carefully so as not to distort the signal.
  • It is extremely important that the two leads in the connector are not mixed up.
  • The cables cannot be spliced.
  • The lead must not be bent to form a curve with a radius of less than 25 mm.
  • The lead must not be subjected to temperatures greater than 185°F (85°C).
  • The lead ends should be kept free from dirt.
  • The lead must not be subjected to blows that could cause the transparent plastic to whiten, thereby reducing light intensity. This could cause disruptions in communication.
  • The lead should not be stretched across a sharp edge, which would cause increased damping of the signal.
WARNING: The red visible light is of laser class 1. Do not look directly into the optic fibre or the control module connector at close range. At a distance of less than 20 mm from your eyes to the light source, your eyes could be damaged.
