STEP3 Installation of Display Unit, DIM Sensor, and D.C.Unit
●Improper installation could cause the product to fall and damage the vehicle or cause serious danger by impeding driving.
・Attach the display unit in a location which will not hinder driving.
・Make sure that both the display unit and the D.C.Unit are firmly attached by using screws and double-sided tape.
●When installing the display unit, confirm the installation position with the customer and install it in a location which will
not hinder driving.
Caution
Warning
●Do not take off the rubber covering round the target screen. The plate is sharp-edged. Reapply the rubber when it
comes off.
Confirmation
●When leaving the car under the direct sunlight, cover the display unit with a white cloth. It prevents the unit from deterioration.
●Before attaching units using double-sided tapes, make sure the surfaces are clean.
●Do not expose the D.C.Unit and the Defi-Link Control Unit II(or the Defi-Link Control Unit) to direct sunlight.
●Do not touch the Target Screen. When it is stained with dust and finger marks, remove dust from the screen with adhesive
tape. And then wipe off with care by using a soft and dry cloth so as not to scratch it.

1) Tighten temporarily the mounting bracket to the mounting attachment with the bolt, nut,
and washer【Figure4】. Use a hexagonal Allen wrench to tighten the bolt. Then unfasten
screws of the mounting attachment until it rotates【Figure5】.
2) Turn on the ignition of the vehicle. Locate the display unit on the instrument panel while
looking at the reflecting image on the target screen. Adjust the angle and fix it by
combining with the mounting attachment and the mounting bracket. After the position is
located, mark it with adhesive tape. Turn off the ignition. (Refer to ③How to use the
mounting attachment and the mounting bracket and ④Installation examples of the
display unit.)
3) Fully tighten the screws of the mounting attachment【Figure5】.
4) Dismount the mounting bracket from the display unit, and then attach the double-sided
tapes on its undersurface. Bend it along the form of the instrument panel and fix it on
the panel with the tapping screws【Figure5】.
※Before attaching the unit using double-sided tapes, make sure the position is clean.
5) Connect the DIM sensor to the connector on the backside of the display unit.
