The earth lines only show the earth point (located in the lower part of the diagram) to which they are connected and not the other lines connected to it; A special section "Location of Earths" gives all the lines converging on each earthing point.

NOTE: these crossed references between the lines and on the earths make it possible to easily identify the faults in the event of failures in more than one circuit at the same time: for example, a faulty earth point will cause a failure to all the circuits which converge on it.

N.B.: the diagrams represent the vehicle in its most complete version (all the optional items installed) and they refer to all versions except when otherwise specified, for example SPIDER, GTV, different engines, etc.. Any variations are differentiated by a hatched line and the identification of the different versions.

Diagram showing electrical connections including a heated rear screen component with labeled wires such as 2.5BLK, 2.5BRN-WHT, BRN-WHT, and GY.

NOTE: The versions with a smaller number of accessories might not have all the solderings to be found in the wirings of the complete versions.
