2. Install Wiring Harness
Install the system wiring harness as shown in the Installation Overview. Route the camera
cable along the vehicle headliner and A-pillar, as shown in the diagram. Make sure enough
cable is present above the windshield to connect/disconnect the camera unit without stretching
the cable.
Notes:
Make sure the cable is not pinched or cut during installation.•
Position the data download cable so it can be easily retrieved and connected to a•
portable PC for data download operations.
Depending on the specic vehicle, either A-pillar may be used to route the cable.•
3. Install Processor Module
Using the supplied cable ties, mount the system processing unit under the vehicle dashboard.
Observe these precautions:
Make sure the wiring harness connector is not blocked.•
Make sure the unit does not interfere with any moving parts.•
Make sure the unit is well clear of the control pedals.•
4. Install Operator Mute Button
Locate or cut a rectangular opening in the control panel or dashboard to accomodate the mute
switch. Pull the mute button cable (four spade connectors) through the opening and connect it
to the mute button as
shown below:
Lamp+ (Red)

NOTES:
To avoid draining battery, connect +12VDC to a switched power source which is only powered •
when vehicle ignition is ON.
Brake and turn signal inputs must provide a transition from 0V to +12VDC when turn signal •
or brake is on.
The lead number is printed on insulation, as shown. If you need to shorten the cable, •
refer to the insulation markings to identify the correct cable.
3 additional black cables and one orange cable that will be visible if you shorten the
cable; make sure to connect the black wire labeled “1 ONE” to ground; the additional
black wires (2, 3, and 4) are not connected.
6. Connect System Cable to Processor

SafeTRAC System Information
Verifying Proper System Operation
You can verify your SafeTRAC system is installed and operating proper y by verifying that:l
When the vehicle ignition is turned on, the system beeps once and illuminates the green power•
indicator.
During vehicle operation, SafeTRAC sounds the warning and illuminates the RED alert LED when•
the vehicle leaves its lane.
The warning alert sound and LED are• not signaled when the brakes are applied, or either turn
signal or the emergency ashers are on.
Pressing the operator mute button silences any current alert, and prevents the alert from
•
sounding for the next three minutes. Pressing the mute button again clears the mute, allowing
alerts to sound.
