Safety battery terminal and monitoring of battery cable (shielding): Notes

The battery cable is fitted with an electrically conducting shield, which is insulated against the body and against the battery cable. The shielding consists of a low-impedance metal mesh. A cable exits from each end of the shielding, i.e. at the safety battery terminal in the luggage compartment and at the battery earth point in the engine compartment. Both connection leads are connected to the airbag control module.
