| --- | --- |

(b)

– 40 °C to + 125 °C for parts to be fitted in the engine compartment unless otherwise specified.

1.2.   Degree of protection for installation

The following degrees of protection in accordance with IEC publication 60529:1989 shall be provided:

| (a) | IP 40 for parts to be fitted in the passenger compartment, |
| --- | --- |

(a)

IP 40 for parts to be fitted in the passenger compartment,

| --- | --- |

(c)

IP 54 for all other parts.

The immobilizer manufacturer shall specify in the installation instructions any restrictions on the positioning of any part of the installation with respect to dust, water and temperature.
