Connecting Anti-Vibration ACC Models to a Vehicle

You need to connect the ACC model to ACC wire and power wire on the vehicle.

The following instructions are based on installation on a 

Toyota Zace Surf

. Since 

each vehicle differs in design, refer to the owner’s manual of your vehicle for details 
or have the installation done by a properly trained technician.

Using the fuse specification diagram, locate the power cables from the fuse box. You 
may need to use a voltmeter to determine positive-voltage and negative-voltage 
cables.
