Electrical circuits

The are numerous innovations in the electrical equipment both as far as the vehicle wiring and the various electrical consumers and systems are concerned.

The main new features are described below.

The electrical system has been designed with the safety of the vehicle uppermost, to prevent the risk of fire and the other consequences of electrical malfunctions and to reduce defective connections thanks to the adoption of the latest generation

connectors.

The main solutions adopted are:

supplies protected by maxi fuses to interrupt the electrical system, in the case of a short circuit, just downstream of the battery;

the only cables without maxi fuses (starter motor and alternator) are protected and positioned in a safe place;

the layout of the entire system is designed to optimize the risk of damage in the case of a failure or accident;

there are special cables in the engine compartment which are resistant to high temperatures and also protected with outer casings or pipes;

the connections are fitted with anti-slip devices on the terminals (secondary lock).
