N10/10 SAM control unit







1. Route inside rearview mirror ambiance illumination branch-off line of ambiance illumination wiring harness (16) from SAM control unit (N10/10), as shown, along vehicle wiring harness behind instrument panel (17) to top of A-pillar.
Only route the 1700 mm long branch-off line of the inside rearview mirror ambiance illumination to the top of the A-pillar.
The three black 2-pin couplings and the fuse carrier with fuse of the ambiance illumination wiring harness (16) must be located in the area of the SAM control unit (N10/10). They will be connected to the SAM control unit (N10/10) at a later point.







2. Route inside rearview mirror ambiance illumination branch-off line of ambiance illumination wiring harness (16), as shown, along vehicle wiring harness to installation location of inside rearview mirror (4).
3. Fix inside rearview mirror ambiance illumination branch-off line of ambiance illumination wiring harness (16) in place using cable tie (18) at vehicle wiring harness.
4. Slide inside rearview mirror (4) onto bracket on windshield.
5. Connect black 2-pin connector (21) of inside rearview mirror ambiance illumination wiring harness (22) to black 2-pin coupling (20) of ambiance illumination wiring harness (16).
6. Form a loop with excess length of inside rearview mirror ambiance illumination branch-off line of ambiance illumination wiring harness (16) and fix in place using cable tie (19).







7. Route footwell branch-off line of ambiance illumination wiring harness (16), as shown, along vehicle wiring harness behind instrument panel and fix in place using cable tie.
Do not tighten cable tie yet.
The black 2-pin couplings at the footwell branch-off line of ambiance illumination wiring harness (16) must be positioned centrally in the driver and front passenger footwell.







Operation steps 8 and 9 on vehicles with BRABUS twin headlamps.

8. Connect individual black 2-pin coupling (24) to free gray/blue line (gr/bl) of BRABUS twin headlamp wiring harness (25).
9. Connect black 2-pin coupling (24) of gray/blue line (gr/bl) of BRABUS twin headlamp wiring harness (25) to black 2-pin connector (10) of gray/blue line (gr/bl) of ambiance illumination wiring harness (16).
Operation steps 10 to 13 on vehicles with daytime running light headlamps.

10. Cut off black 2-pin connector (10) of gray/blue line (gr/bl) of ambiance illumination wiring harness (16).
11. Slide heat-shrinkable tube over gray/blue line (gr/bl) of ambiance illumination wiring harness (16).
12. Crimp together gray/blue line (gr/bl) of ambiance illumination wiring harness (16) and gray/blue line (gr/bl) of daytime running light headlamp wiring harness.
The daytime running light headlamp wiring harness is connected to the gray/blue line (gr/bl) of the adapter line in exactly the same manner as the BRABUS twin headlamp wiring harness (25). But because the branch-off line for connection of the black 2-pin coupling (24) is missing, the gray/blue line (gr/ bl) of the ambiance illumination wiring harness (16) must be connected by means of a crimped connection to the gray/blue line (gr/bl) of the daytime running light headlamp wiring harness.

13. Protect crimped connection with heat-shrinkable tube.







14. Release coupling "N11-8" and disconnect at SAM control unit (N10/10).
Coupling "N11-8" is located in the marked slot (arrow A).
