Before firmly mounting the antenna, test the operation of the KeyCounter
for good range performance. Once the antenna is mounted, carefully route the
antenna'swiringharnesstotheControlModule,andplugitsWhiteconnectorintothe
KeyCountercontrolmodule'sWhiteport. Whenroutingthewiringharnessdown
the steering column, ensure that all moving parts, such as the steering shaft
or gear select linkage, will not be affected or impaired.
It is not necessary to adjust the antenna, and there is no provision for any type
antennaadjustment. Iftheantennaiscorrectlymountedintheproperlocation,range

The Status Light and Valet/Override Switch
The Status Light and Valet/Override Switch are enclosed in a "no drilling"

TheKeyCounter'santennainstallationiscriticaltothesystem'sperformanceand
operation. The ideal location is mounted behind the steering column trim panel,
closely below the ignition switch (see the diagram on page 2). In this location, it is
morelikelythateverydayoperationwillrequirenoconsciousactiononthepartofthe
user. However, there are some vehicles which may not allow the placement of the
antenna in the optimum location by the ignition switch. In these situations, the

It is also important to firmly mount the antenna. If movement of the antenna is
allowed,operationalperformancewillvary. Severalmountingmethodsareallowable.

If desired, the antenna coil may be removed from the round plastic housing; the
