Notes on handling optical fibres (530i 2017-2022, 530i xDrive 2017-2022, 530e PHEV 2018-2022, 530e xDrive PHEV 2018-2022, 540i 2017-2022, 540i xDrive 2017-2022, M550i xDrive 2018-2022)

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage when handling optical fibres, comply with the following points: 
  • The minimum permitted bending radius is 25 mm
  • Do not subject optical fibres to compressive and tensile load
  • Protect optical fibres against the effects of heat ≥85°C (e.g. during welding work, drying work with infrared beams or hot air blower)
  • Fibre-optic cables are permitted to show only one junction point (bridge), replace fibre-optic cables if necessary
NOTE: The optical fibres are colored differently as follows: 
  • Green = MOST  ( edia riented ystems ransport) optical fibre
  • Yellow = ISIS  ( ntelligent afety and ntegration ystem) optical fibre
  • Orange=repair fibre-optic cables

Follow NOTES  for processing cables and optical fibres.
