Grounding points


General information on grounding points

There are two main types of grounding points in the car: those having a component number and those where a component is grounded directly to the chassis, such as temperature sensors, the oil pressure sensor, etc.

The car battery is connected to ground by means of two cables. One has a cross-section area of 25 mm 2 and goes straight to the gearbox (grounding point G25).

The other has a cross-section area of 16 mm 2 and goes to grounding point G2, which is located behind the battery on the left wheel housing.

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

This section covers the grounding points that have been designated a component number.

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

Grounding point G5 is not present on 3-door cars and has been discontinued as a running modification on 5-door cars as well.
