IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Before using your Vehicle Dynamics Processor, be sure to read and fully understand

the following safety information.

1 Read this manual fully and carefully be-

fore operating your Vehicle Dynamics Processor.

2 Keep this manual handy as a reference for

operating procedures and safety information.

3 Pay close attention to all warnings in this

manual and follow the instructions carefully.

4 Do not allow other persons to use this sys-

tem until they have read and understood the operating instructions.

5 Do not install the display where it may (i)

obstruct the drivers vision, (ii) impair the performance of any of the vehicles operating systems or safety features, including air bags, hazard lamp buttons or (iii) impair the drivers ability to safely operate the vehicle.

terior, the display should not divert your attention from the safe operation of your vehicle. If you experience difficulty in operating the system or reading the display, please park safely before making adjustments.

7 Do not attempt to install or service your

Vehicle Dynamics Processor by yourself. Installation or servicing of the Vehicle Dynamics Processor by persons without training and experience in electronic equipment and automotive accessories may be dangerous and could expose you to the risk of electric shock or other hazards and can cause damage to the system that is not covered by warranty.

8 Please remember to wear your seat belt at

all times while operating your vehicle. If you are ever in an accident, your injuries

can be considerably more severe if your seat belt is not properly buckled.

9 To promote safety, certain functions are

disabled unless the parking brake is applied.

10 The Data Recording functionality of this

product is intended to capture vehicle information into its internal memory to be reviewed at a later time when the vehicle is not in motion, and parked in a safe place. Only use the Data Recording functionality if it is safe to do so. Do not use this feature if doing so in any way will divert your attention from the safe operation of your vehicle. Always observe safe driving rules and follow all existing traffic regulations.

11 The GPS Locator functionality utilizes the
