Before You Start
WARNING
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER THE MODULE
Doing so may result in an accident, re, or electric shock.
DO NOT BLOCK THE AIRBAG
Do not mount product or any added equipment where it can obstruct the operation of
any safety devices such as the airbag.
DISTRACTION WARNING
Do not let product or any added equipment distract you while you are driving.
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
Before starting any installation work, you must wait 90 seconds after turning the ignition switch to the LOCK position
and disconnecting the negative (-) terminal from the battery. The supplemental restraint system (airbag) is equipped
with a backup power source. If installation work is started less than 90 seconds after disconnection of the negative (-)
battery terminal, the SRS may deploy. When the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the clock
and audio system’s memory will be erased. Before starting installation work make a record of the clock and audio
system’s memory settings. When installation is complete, reset the clock and audio systems to their previous settings.
Check that power tilt, power telescopic steering column, front power seats, power mirrors, and power shoulder belt
anchorage are equipped with a memory function. When installation is complete, it is necessary to readjust the features
to their previous settings. Never use a backup power supply (such as another battery) during installation work to avoid
losing these memory settings.
CAUTION
DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES
Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying capacity
of the wire and result in re or electric shock.
DO NOT ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN SURROUNDING OBJECTS
Cables or wiring that obstruct or get caught on places such as the steering wheel, shift lever, brake pedals, etc. can be
extremely hazardous.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST
Moisture or dust may result in product failure.
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS
The wiring and installation of this product requires special technical skills and experience.
USE ONLY SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS
