CAUTION
• Never install this product in places where,
or in a manner that:
– Could injure the driver or passengers if
the vehicle stops suddenly.
– May interfere with the driver's operation
of the vehicle, such as on the floor in front
of the driver's seat, or close to the steering
wheel or shift lever.
• Make sure there is nothing behind the
dashboard or paneling when drilling holes
in them. Be careful not to damage fuel
lines, brake lines, electronic components,
communication wires or power cables.
• When using screws, do not allow them to
come into contact with any electrical lead.
Vibration may damage wires or insulation,
leading to a short circuit or other damage
to the vehicle.
• To ensure proper installation, be sure
to use the supplied parts in the manner
specified. If any parts are not supplied with
this product, use compatible parts in the
manner specified after you have the parts'
compatibility checked by your dealer. If
parts other than supplied or compatible
ones are used, they may damage internal
parts of this product or they may work loose
and the product may become detached.
• It is extremely dangerous to allow cables to
become wound around the steering column
or shift lever. Be sure to install this product,
its cables, and wiring away in such so that
they will not obstruct or hinder driving.
• Make sure that leads cannot get caught in
a door or the sliding mechanism of a seat,
resulting in a short circuit.
• Please confirm the proper function of your
vehicle's other equipment after installation
of this product.

the performance of any of the vehicle's
operating systems or safety features,

next to the place in the dashboard, door,
or pillar from which one of your vehicle's
airbags would deploy. Please refer to your

To avoid electromagnetic
interference
In order to prevent interference, set the
following items as far as possible from
this product, other cables or leads:

• GPS antenna and its lead
In addition, you should lay or route each
antenna lead as far as possible from
other antenna leads. Do not bind, lay
or route them together, or cross them.
Electromagnetic noise will increase
the potential for errors in the vehicle's
location display.
