Installation Instructions
Step-1. Raise liftgate (See Figure-1 on page 3) disconnect the (7) liftgate molding clips and remove the liftgate mold- ing (See Figures 2, 3, and 4 on page 3) Note: Be very careful and make sure you pull the clips straight out as the plastic retaining clips on the molding can break very easily!
Step-2. Locate and remove the (5) 13 mm 12 point socket nut fasteners attaching the rear spoiler to the shell (See Figure-5 & 6 on page 3) Note: Be careful not to lose the center 12 point nut as it releases from the stud as it can easily fall down inside the lift gate while you are trying to retrieve it through the hole in the lift gate.
Step-3. Push up rmly on the rear spoiler and disconnect the (4) spoiler clips shown in Figure 6 on page 3.
Step-4. Raise spoiler (See Figure-1) away from the vehicle to expose the Upper Rear Brake Light Electrical Connec-
tor and the Rear Window Washer Fluid Hose. Disconnect the Electrical Connector and the Washer Fluid Hose (See
Figure-7 on page 3).
Step-5. Remove spoiler from vehicle and lay it upside down on a protected surface to prevent scratches.
Step-6. Unplug the other end of the Upper Rear Brake Light Electrical Connector, carefully pull the red and black
wires out from under the wire retaining clip shown in Figure-8 on page 2 and pull the connector and wires back out of the way (See Figure-9 on page 4).
Step-7. Position Citadel assembly over spoilers studs making sure the Citadel's Wires/Harness will not get pinched (See Figures-10, 11, &12 on page 4), then reconnect the vehicle's Rear Brake Light Electrical Connector also mak­ing sure the connector is fully engaged and the wires will not get pinched (See Figure-13 on page 4). Make sure the rubber grommets are securely in the slots in the Citadel Brackets on each side of the rear brake light (See Figures-14
& 15 on page 4).
Step-8. Route Citadel's Cable under the vehicle's OEM square foam seal pad (See Figure-16 on page 4). Route the cable following the existing wiring from the brake light assembly back through the hole in the lift gate (See Figure-17 on page 4). Route the Citadel cable through the vehicle's rubber hose (See Figure-18 on page 4) and route the cable to the desired nal destination.
Step-9. Position the spoiler back on the vehicle while pulling the slack out of the Citadel's cable.
Step-10. Reconnect the Upper Rear Brake Light Electrical Connector and the Rear Window Washer Fluid Hose.
Step-11. Position the Spoiler back in its home location, snap the (4) spoiler retention clips back into their respec-
tive holes, and thread the center 12 point nut onto the spoiler stud rst, followed by the remaining 12 point nuts and torque the nuts in the same sequence. Torque nuts to 6 Nm (53 lb in).
Step-12. The light heads in the CELS version of the Citadel are all STEADY BURN ONLY and require the CELS
controller for power, lighting sequence, and ash patterns. See the Instruction Manual for the CELS-CC Housing for wiring connections and ash patterns.

The use of this or any warning device does not ensure that all drivers can or will observe or react to an emergency warning signal. Never take the right-of-way for granted. It is your responsibility to be sure you can proceed safely before entering an intersection, driving against trafc, responding at a high rate of speed, or walking on or around trafc lanes. The effectiveness of this warning device is highly dependent upon correct mounting and wiring. Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions before installing or using this device. The vehicle operator should insure daily that all features of the device operate correctly. In use, the vehicle operator should insure the projection of the warning signal is not blocked by vehicle components (i.e.: open trunks or compartment doors), people, vehicles, or other obstructions. This equipment is intended for use by authorized personnel only. It is the user’s responsibility to understand and obey all laws regarding emergency warning devices. The user should check all applicable city, state and federal laws and regulations. Code 3, Inc., assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device. Proper installation is vital to the performance of this warning device and the safe operation of the emergency vehicle.

The warning device should be installed in such a manner as to: A) Not reduce the output performance of the system, B) Place the controls within convenient reach of the operator so that he can operate the system without losing eye contact with the roadway. Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages and/or currents. Properly protect and use caution around live electrical connections. Grounding or shorting of electrical connections can cause high current arcing, which can cause personal

injury and/or severe vehicle damage, including re. Any electronic device may create or be affected by electromagnetic interference. After installation of any electronic device operate all equipment simultaneously to insure that operation is free of interference. Never power emergency warning equipment from the same circuit or share the same grounding circuit with radio communication equipment. All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and securely fastened to vehicle elements of sufcient strength to withstand the forces applied to the device. Driver and/or passenger air bags (SRS) will affect the way equipment should be mounted. This device should be mounted by permanent installation and within the zones specied by the vehicle manufacturer, if any. Any device mounted in the deployment area of an air bag will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag and may damage or dislodge the device. Installer must be sure that this device, its mounting hardware and electrical supply wiring does not interfere with the air bag or the SRS wiring or sensors. Mounting the unit inside the vehicle by a method other than permanent installation is not recommended as unit may become dislodged during swerving, sudden braking or collision. Failure to follow instructions can result in personal injury. PROPER INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER USE OF EMERGENCY WARNING DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND THE PUBLIC.
