WARNING
When the negative battery
cable is connected during
operation, it may cause
electric shock or other
personal injuries.
Disconnect the negative
battery cable before
removal/installation.
When
connecting/disconnecting
connectors, grasp the
connectors, not the wires.
Otherwise a short, an
accident from poor contact
or fire may occur.
Do not pull the harness
with excessive force. Doing
so can cause a breakage
or a short-related accident,
as well as an electrical
short or fire.
Secure the harness with
the band (part included) so
it doesn’t dangle. If not, it
may cause a short,
accident, or fire.

CAUTION
Put the removed parts and
the parts in the kit on the
protective sheet to prevent
scratches.
Using improper tools may
cause damage and or
broken parts. Use the
correct tool for the job.
Be sure to cover the
vehicle body with
protectors or mats to
prevent stains, scratches
and damage when
removing/installing the
vehicle parts.
Excessive length of tie
wrap may interfere with
other parts and cause
damage.
Cut unnecessary part up to
about 5 mm {0.19 in} from
the fixed point.


Take care not to trap
antenna cable under
attachment nuts.

xWhen the negative battery cable is removed, the clock, radio, trip meters and other memories will be
erased. Before performing work, record the content of the memory.
NOTE
xDuring the installation of the antenna cable make
sure the cable is not pinched, knotted “kinked” or
coiled too tightly. It is recommended that a coil of
less than 20 mm {0.78 in} be avoided if possible.
xIf this wiring procedure is not followed, the
performance of the antenna will be affected and
could result in increased audio muting.
CAUTION
20 {0.78}
