Safety Messages
the radio noise emitted from the lighting system to interfere
with the reception of the radio transmitter and reduce radio
reception.
• Do not attempt to wash any unsealed electrical device while it
is connected to its power source.
During Installation and Service
• DO NOT get metal shavings inside the product. Metal
shavings in the product can cause the system to fail. If drilling
must be done near the unit, place an ESD-approved cover
over the unit. Inspect the unit after mounting to ensure that
there are no shavings present in or near the unit.
• DO NOT connect this system to the vehicle battery until
ALL other electrical connections are made, mounting of
all components is complete, and you have verified that no
shorts exist. If the wiring is shorted to the vehicle body or
frame, high current conductors can cause hazardous sparks
resulting in electrical fires or flying molten metal.
• DO NOT install equipment or route wiring (or the plug-in
cord) in the deployment path of an air bag.
• If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the
vehicle manufacturer, if the seat needs to be recalibrated for
proper airbag deployment.
• Before mounting any components, check the manual to
make sure that the component you are installing is suitable
for use in that area of the vehicle. Many components are not
suitable for use in the engine compartment or other extreme
environmental exposure areas.
• Before drilling into a vehicle structure, ensure that both
sides of the surface are clear of anything that could be
damaged. Remove all burrs from drilled holes. To prevent
electrical shorts, grommet all drilled holes through which
wiring passes. Ensure that the mounting screws do not cause
electrical or mechanical damage to the vehicle.
