Grounding Points - General:




General Information About Grounding Points
There are two types of grounding points on the car: those having a component number and those where a component is grounded directly to the chassis, such as a temperature sensor, oil pressure sensor, etc.

The car battery is connected to ground by means of two cables. One has a cross-section area of 25 Sq.mm and goes straight to the gearbox (grounding point G25).

The other has a cross-section areas of 16 Sq. mm and goes to grounding point G2, which is located behind the battery on the left-hand wheel housing.

For radio interference suppression, a braided grounding strap is connected between the engine mounting and the car body.

Note that since the cars are available in different market versions, certain models might not have some of the grounding points listed in the following.

Grounding point G5 is not provided on 3-door car models and, as a current production modification, it has also been discontinued on 5-door models.
