Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Secondary Lock
| The secondary lock is a housing securing mechanism (second
locking mechanism) that secures all wires in one contact
housing. If a secondary lock is installed at a contact housing,
it must always be opened or removed using specified tool before
releasing and pulling out individual crimp contacts. |
| Secondary lock is distinguished by a different color from
the rest of the contact housing. It simplifies recognizing the
secondary lock and clarifies its function. |
| The shapes of the terminal housings depicted here are only a
selection which, as an example, should make clear the various
functions of the secondary lock. |
