Precautions:
Read the operation manual before operating.
Do not install any component near the brake, gas pedal or steering linkage.
Most vehicles have an SRS air bag system. Use extreme care and do not probe any wires
of the SRS system.
Disconnect the car battery before beginning work on the vehicle.
Check behind panels before drilling any holes. Ensure that no wiring harness or other
components are located behind the panels that would otherwise be damaged.
Do not use conventional crimp lock, bullet on any wiring. Poor wiring, i.e. taped joints will
possibly introduce unreliability into the alarm system and may result in false alarms or
incorrect operation. We suggest soldering all connection points.
Install the wiring neatly under carpets or behind trim to prevent possible damage to wires.
