ENGLISH
USE ONLY IN VEHICLES WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND.
(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so may result
in fire, etc.
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE POSITIVE
BATIERY TERMINAL.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to electrical
shorts.
DO NOT ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN SURROUNDING
OBJECTS.
Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the manual to prevent
obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring that obstruct or hang up on
places such as the steering wheel, gear lever, brake pedals, etc. can be
extremely hazardous.
DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.
Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other equipment.
Doing so will exceed the current carrying capacity of the wire and result
in fire or electric shock.
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES.
When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take precautions so as
not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes, fuel lines, tanks or electrical
wiring. Failure to take such precautions may result in fire.
DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR STEERING SYSTEMS
TO MAKE GROUND CONNECTIONS.
Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or any other safety-
related system), or tanks should NEVER be used for installations or
ground connections. Using such parts could disable control of the vehicle
and cause fire etc.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BOLTS OR SCREWS OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a
physician immediately.

Center for repairing.
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS.
The wiring and installation of this unit requires special technical skill
and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer where you
purchased this product to have the work done.
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM SECURELY.
Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of other than
designated parts may damage this unit internally or may not securely
install the unit in place. This may cause parts to become loose resulting
in hazards or product failure.
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY A
SHARP METAL EDGE.
Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like the seat rails)
or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the
wiring. If wiring passes through a hole in metal, use a rubber grommet
to prevent the wire's insulation from being cut by the metal edge of
the hole.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST.
Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence of moisture or
dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may result in product
failure.
