Important Notes

Before final installation, test the wiring connections to make sure the unit is connected properly and the system works.

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 to your vehicle.

Install the unit where it does not interfere with driving and cannot injure passengers during a sudden or emergency stop.

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