Never install this product in places where, or in a manner that it could injure the driver or
passengers if the vehicle stops suddenly.
Never install this product in places where, or in a manner that it 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, the floor or the 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 leads.
To ensure proper installation, use the supplied parts in the manner specified. If any parts
other than the supplied 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 the cables to become wound around the steering column
or shift lever. Be sure to install this product, its cables, and wiring away in such a way 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.
Do not install this system 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 airbags,
hazard lamp buttons or (iii) impair the driver’s ability to safely operate the vehicle.
Never install the system in front of or next to the place in the dash, door, or pillar from which
one of your vehicle’s airbags would deploy. Please refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for
reference to the deployment area of the frontal airbags.
Do not install the system in a place where it will impair the performance of any of the
vehicle’s operating systems, including airbags and headrests.
3.1.2 Installing the Docking Station
The docking station is designed to allow simple connection/disconnection of the DRV3 from
power, data and external RF antennas. It typically mounts on a flex post secured to the
vehicle’s passenger floor near the 12V power source so the DRV3 can remain in the support
bracket while charging. You will require 3 screws (not included) to secure the flex post to
the floor.
