WARNING

When installing equipment inside air bag
equipped vehicles, the installer MUST ensure
that the equipment is installed ONLY in areas
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

Failure to observe this warning will reduce the
effectiveness of the air bag, damage the air bag,
or potentially damage or dislodge the equip-
ment, causing serious injury or death to you
or others.

3-1. UNPACKING.

After unpacking the Vision, examine it for

damage that may have occurred in transit. If the
equipment has been damaged, file a claim immedi-
ately with the carrier stating the extent of damage.
Carefully check all envelopes, shipping labels and
tags before removing or destroying them.

3-2. COLORED DOME INSERT OPTION

INSTALLATION.

WARNING

To provide proper warning colors to the front
and/or rear if dome inserts are used, a clear
dome must be used with the colored inserts.

A.

Remove and retain the two Torx head

screws which secure the dome to the pod.

B.

Carefully remove the dome and set it aside.

C.

Place the front or rear insert in position

and ensure that the locating notches are properly
positioned on the locating ribs as shown in figure 3-1.
If applicable, repeat with the other insert.

CAUTION

Excessive tightening of the Torx head screws
will damage the screws.

Figure 3-2. Block Wiring Diagram.

Figure 3-1. Dome Insert Installation.

D.

Replace the dome and secure with the

previously removed Torx head screws.

3-3. LIGHTBAR INSTALLATION.

WARNING

Improper warning system and/or two-way
radio system operation may result if a two-way
radio antenna is installed on, or within
18-inches of, the lightbar. Before permanent
installation of the lightbar or a two-way radio
antenna, test the warning system and two-way
radio system. DO NOT install a two-way radio
antenna on the lightbar.

Some installations may require relocation of
the two-way radio antenna to a trunk or fender
location.

Warning system failure may result if
additional holes are drilled in the lightbar,
or if auxiliary devices are installed on the
lightbar. DO NOT drill additional holes in the
lightbar, or install auxiliary devices on the
lightbar.

Before performing any installation, see figure 3-

2 (block wiring diagram); plan all wiring and cable
routing. Ensure that the lightbar is installed on the
vehicle roof in accordance with the instructions
packed with the mounting kit.

3-4. INTERFACE/RELAY UNIT MOUNTING

LOCATION SELECTION.

CAUTION

The Vision Interface/Relay Unit housing is
NOT waterproof. It must be mounted in a
location which is sheltered from falling rain,
snow, standing water, etc. Also, it must be
installed in an adequately ventilated area.
Never install near heater ducts.

Do not mount the Vision Interface/Relay Unit
under the vehicle’s hood.
