Inadequatesupplycableconnectionscouldresultinshortcircuitswiththeconsequencethat:
• cablefiresoccur
• theairbagistriggered
• electroniccontroldevicesaredamaged

INSTALLING & CONNECTING THE POWER CABLE
ThuleNVrecommendsthatyouconnectthepowercabletothefuseboxorterminalblockandnot
directlytothebattery;
Choosethesafestandshortestinstallationrouteforthepowercable.
Shortenthepowercableasrequired.
Wire in such a way, a hot exhausting pipe or something simular couldn’t harm the wiring.
Caution!
Only use cable clips that are suitable for the diameter of the power cable for the connection to the fuse
box, terminal block or battery. If the wrong terminals are used, it could cause a voltage drop and increase
heat formation at the terminal.
Usethecorrectfusetotheconnectionwiththevehicle’spowersupplyaccordingthewiringdiagram and
according EN 1648-1 & EN 1648-2.
Caution!
Installingthewrongfusecancausecablefireincaseofashortcircuitormalfunction!
Ifthelengthofthesuppliedpowercableisnotsufficient,theconnectioncablemustbereplaced with a
new connection cable with a larger cable diameter.
