replace the old fuse with one with the

Do not let unconnected cables or terminals
touch metal on the car or anything else

CAUTION

conducting electricity. To prevent short
circuits, also do not remove the caps on the
ends of the unconnected cables or the
terminals.

Some disc changers need conversion cables
for connection. See the section on "Safety
Precautions" for details.

Insulate unconnected cables with vinyl tape
or other similar material.

Be sure to use the provided DAB antenna
(Accessory 

7

) as the DAB antenna. Using

other antenna than provide may lead to
malfunction.

Take care so that the antenna cable and other
connection cables are not caught by mobile
parts. Otherwise cable disconnection or
other trouble may result.

Do not apply too much force on the antenna
cable, other connection cables and
connectors by bending a cable, etc.
Otherwise cable disconnection or other
trouble may result.

Securely fasten the screws that fix the DAB
antenna as well as the screws of the DAB
antenna itself. Screws that loosen introduce
the danger of the antenna coming apart
during travel.

DC voltage is output from the DAB antenna
terminal of the DAB hideaway tuner to supply
power to the DAB antenna. Be sure to
connect the supplied DAB antenna only.
Otherwise, the unit may be damaged.

After the unit is installed, check whether the
brake lamps, indicators, wipers, etc. on the
car are working properly.
