2. Prior to installation
Before starting installation, please read this installation guide carefully. In particular, please pay attention to the safety and
installation instructions.
Before commencing installation, the vehicle must be checked by a specialist company to determine whether there are any
reasons preventing installation of the Car Docking Station for the TriVision, such as a roof antenna etc. It must be ensured
that sufficient clearance is maintained for opening an installed tilting/sliding sunroof.
3. Safety instructions
GWarning
In order to prevent head injuries and driver distraction during driving, the driver/front passenger backrests must be
adjusted such that contact between the occupants’heads and the TriVision, as well as viewing of the TriVision are
prevented. This must be ensured during installation of the Car Docking Station. The instructions contained in this
installation guide must be observed.
GWarning
Incorrect installation
Incorrect installation may result in damage to the unit or to the vehicle. Specialist knowledge and skills are required
for installation of the Car Docking Station and its components. We strongly recommend that you have the unit
installed by a specialist workshop.
Before the commencement of installation, it must be ensured that there are no technical or design reasons preventing
installation of the Car Docking Station in the relevant vehicle.

GWarning
Risk of injury
Installing the components incorrectly may lead to injuries in the event of a road traffic accident or render safety
devices ineffective. Please refer to the instructions provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
GWarning
Damage to the airbag
Installing the components in the wrong location may damage the airbag or impair its operation. Do not install the
components within the operating range of the airbag.
GWarning
Risk of injury due to inadequate attachment
Attach the components so that they cannot come loose in the event of a collision or sudden braking.
Poorly attached components can be thrown forward in the vehicle in the event of sudden manoeuvres or accidents,
causing injuries to the vehicle occupants or other road users. This increased risk of injury is further aggravated if
the objects thrown forward are hit by a deploying airbag. In such cases, the objects can act as “projectiles” which
may cause fatal injuries.

4. Installation instructions
Damage due to polarity reversal or short-circuit
Incorrect cable connections and short-circuits can seriously damage the unit.
Disconnect the vehicle battery for the duration of unit installation.
In order to avoid short-circuits and malfunctions, install the cables so that they cannot be pinched, kinked, chafed
or detached. Especially take this into account during installation of a unit if the vehicle is equipped with a tilting
sunroof or roof window.
Before installation, park the vehicle in a safe and level place and remove the ignition key.
Apply the parking brake.
In order to avoid malfunctions, it is absolutely essential to observe the relevant cable cross-section when using
branch connections/cable connectors.
In order to avoid short-circuits and any associated risk of fire, cables which have to be cut must be properly
insulated.

8. General information on installation of the Car Docking Station
Ideal installation position
• The Car Docking Station should be secured in the centre of the vehicle behind the front seats to provide the vehicle
occupants in the rear with the best possible view of the TriVision.
GWarning
In order to prevent head injuries and driver distraction during driving, the Car Docking Station must be installed
such that contact between the driver's head and the TriVision, as well as viewing of the TriVision are prevented even
when the driver seat is in the rearmost position.
When deciding on the best installation position, ensure that the TriVision is not a nuisance to the driver or does not
obstruct his view either when open or closed.
Check all applicable national regulations and laws.

Requirements for attachment in the vehicle
Dead weight / vibrations / shocks / impacts
• The weight of the Car Docking Station, the mounting plate and the TriVision amount to approx. 1.5 kg.
To prevent severe vibrations affecting the screen under normal driving conditions and at the same time to ensure an
unimpaired view, the Car Docking Station must be secured to a frame part of the vehicle.
• Most vehicles have struts in the roof structure that usually run across the width of the vehicle. The roof structure is
attached to these struts, which extend across the entire vehicle. These struts offer the most stable attachment for the
Car Docking Station (A).
• The mounting plate (B) provided permits the Car Docking Station to be attached to the struts in the roof structure.
Attachment points (at least 3 stable attachment points)
• The mounting plate (B) must be secured to at least two points of the vehicle’s strut structure. This prevents longitu-
dinal movements or lateral rotation of the TriVision during operation or when folding out.
• The third attachment secures the mounting plate (B) during folding out of the TriVision. This attachment can be made
directly to the roof panel by installing the plates (D), the plastic threaded rod and the double-sided adhesive tape in-
cluded in the installation kit.
The third attachment point must always be used in order to counteract the vibrations and the arising lever forces.
