Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Secondary Lock

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. |

the rest of the contact housing. It simplifies recognizing the
secondary lock and clarifies its function. |

selection which, as an example, should make clear the various
