specific procedures of battery terminal disconnection.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE MAY LEAD TO THE
UNINTENDED ACTIVATION OF THE ELECTRICAL SAFETY
SYSTEM RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

❑

Never use safety-related components for installa­tion, grounding, and other such functions.

Do not use safety-related vehicle components (fuel tank,

wiring or fixing the product or its accessories.

❑

Installing the product on the air bag cover or in a
location where it interferes with airbag operation is
prohibited.

❑

Check for piping, gasoline tank, electric wiring, and
other items before installing the product.

If you need to open a hole in the vehicle chassis to attach or
wire the product, first check where the wire harness, gaso­line tank, and electric wiring are located. Then open the hole
from outside if possible.

❑

Never install the product in a location where it inter­feres with your field of vision.

❑

Never have the power cord branched to supply other
equipment with power.

❑

After installation and wiring, you should check the
normal operation of other electrical equipment.

The continuation of their using in abnormal conditions may
cause fire, electrical shock or a traffic accident.

❑

In the case of installation to an airbag-equipping
car, confirm warnings and cautions of the vehicle
manufacturer before installation.

❑

Make sure the leads do not interfere with driving or
getting in and out of the vehicle.

❑

Insulate all exposed wires to prevent short circuit­ing.

Otherwise these will raise the interior temperature of the
unit, and it may lead to smoke, fire, or other damage to the
unit.

❑

Do not use the product where it is exposed to water,
moisture, or dust.

Exposure of the unit to water, moisture, or dust may lead to
smoke, fire, or other damage to the unit. Make especially
sure that the unit does not get wet in car washes or on rainy
days.

Observe the following cautions when
installing.

❑

Refer wiring and installation to qualified service
personnel.

Installation of this unit requires special skills and experience.
For maximum safety, have it installed by your dealer.
Panasonic is not liable for any problems resulting from your
own installation of the unit.

❑

Follow the instructions to install and wire the prod­uct.
