the rough edges in advance by using a ballpoint pen or pencil as shown on the right. Press the
side of the pen or pencil against the inside and outside edges of the disc.

- Before the installation of the unit, connect the wiring temporarily and make sure it is all
connected properly and the unit and the system works.
- Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of unauthorized
parts can cause malfunctions.
- Consult with your dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other modifications of the
vehicle.
- Install the unit where it does not get in the driver’s way and cannot injure the passenger if there
is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop.
- If installation angle exceeds 30° from horizontal, the unit may not perform properly.
