INSTALLATION

Notes:

• Choose the mounting location where the unit will not interfere with the normal driving function of the driver.

• Before finally installing the unit, connect the wiring temporarily and make sure it is all connected up properly and the unit and the system work properly.

• Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.

• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other modifications of the vehicle.

• Install the unit where it does not get in the driver’s way and cannot injure the passenger if there is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop.

• If installation angle exceeds 30˚ from horizontal, the unit might not give its optimum performance.

30˚
