Step 4 of 5 – Fix the Brainbox
We recommend two places for fi xing the Brainbox (although there may be other possibilities):
A. On the left of the footwell next
to the footrest.
• Fix one part of the hook-and-eye fastener
tape to the bottom of the Brainbox.
• Fix the other part of the fastener tape to
the site indicated in the footwell. Make sure
the site is free of dust and grease  rst.
• Now press the two halves of the fastener
together (see picture for Brainbox position).
• First test carefully to see if the Brainbox will
 t under the trim.
• If the Brainbox  ts, slide it carefully under
the trim into the position shown.
B. Under the trim on the centre tunnel
Secure the Brainbox and its wiring so that they do not interfere with the pedals and
cannot slide into the footwell.
