that the driver’s actions are not impeded
in any way.
fThe mounting location must be a rigid,
horizontal surface that offers sufficient
stability. The tuner can also be mounted
overhead. The vehicle manufacturer is
responsible for compliance with the legal
requirements.
fCheck that the polarities of the connec-
tions are correct.
fIncorrect wiring can cause problems in the
vehicle and can lead to damage, accidents
and injury.
fCables must be laid in such a way that
they cannot be pinched and cannot be
damaged by a sharp metal edge.
fCables must be laid in such a way that the
