Control Module
Blue Shrink

with normal driving. Avoid locations that
require reaching through or around the
steering wheel.

Clean the mounting surface thoroughly.
3
Mount the Control using the pre-applied
adhesive.
4
Route the cable to the Interface and plug
into the connector labeled “Control Module.”

Secure and conceal the cable under trim
panels.
Concealed Alert
Indicator
Gray Shrink
1
Determine the best location for the Alert
Indicator. If installed by a professional, the
customer should be consulted. An optimal
location is clearly visible from the driver’s
position and does not take a driver’s eyes off
the road for more than a moment.
2
Ensure there are no hidden cables, brackets,
or other components behind the mounting
location, and that there is adequate clearance
behind the panel.
3
Cover the mounting surface with masking
tape to prevent accidental scratches.
4
Carefully mark the location and drill a 1/4"
hole through the mounting panel.
5
Remove the masking tape protecting the
trim panel.
6
From the front side, snap one of the panel
bezels provided into the hole.
7
Snap the Alert Indicator into the panel bezel
from the back side.
8
Route the cable to the Interface and plug
into the connector labeled “Concealed Alert
LED.”

Secure and conceal the cable under trim
panels.
