IMPORTANT
•Read this Guide completely BEFORE you begin.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
•Disconnect the battery negative terminal while working on the vehicle.
•DO NOT PLACE THE KEY FOB in the vehicle with the battery connected and
the seat airbag wiring disconnected. Doing so will set off the airbag light,
and must be reset by your dealer.
•ALWAYS check behind panels and components before drilling, cutting,
or screwing into any part of a vehicle.
•This guide covers several different vehicle models and options. Some
steps only apply to certain installations. Steps images are labeled with
a black bar across the top:
- [SUBWOOFER ONLY]
- If there is no label, the step applies to ALL installations
- Because each kit applies to more than one vehicle, your kit may include extra items.
step applies only if you are installing the Integral Audio Subwoofer
