• maintains the correct position of the control unit relative to the electrical system,
• reduces the risk of looseness and unwanted stress on connectors,
• facilitates service access thanks to the geometry intended by the manufacturer,
• supports maintaining order in the wiring area.

For the user, this means more predictable behavior of the engine control system and a lower risk of problems resulting from improper mounting or makeshift covers.

Product characteristics and condition
