a traffic accident.

Refer fuse replacement to qualified service person-
nel.

When the fuse burns out, eliminate the cause and have it
replaced with the fuse prescribed for this unit by a qualified
service engineer. Incorrect replacement of the fuse may lead
to smoke, fire, and damage to the product.

Observe the following warnings when
installing.

Disconnect the lead from the negative (–) battery
terminal before installation.

Wiring and installation with the negative (–) battery terminal
connected may cause electrical shock and injury due to a
short circuit.
Some cars equipped with the electrical safety system have
specific procedures of battery terminal disconnection.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE MAY LEAD TO THE
UNINTENDED ACTIVATION OF THE ELECTRICAL SAFETY
SYSTEM RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Never use safety-related components for installa-
tion, grounding, and other such functions.

Do not use safety-related vehicle components (fuel tank,
brake, suspension, steering wheel, pedals, airbag, etc.) for
wiring or fixing the product or its accessories.

Installing the product on the air bag cover or in a
location where it interferes with airbag operation is
prohibited.

Check for piping, gasoline tank, electric wiring, and
other items before installing the product.

If you need to open a hole in the vehicle chassis to attach or
wire the product, first check where the wire harness, gaso-
line tank, and electric wiring are located. Then open the hole
from outside if possible.

feres with your field of vision.

Never have the power cord branched to supply other
equipment with power.

cause fire, electrical shock or a traffic accident.

In the case of installation to an airbag-equipping
car, confirm warnings and cautions of the vehicle
manufacturer before installation.

Make sure the leads do not interfere with driving or
getting in and out of the vehicle.

Insulate all exposed wires to prevent short circuit-
ing.

Follow the instructions to install and wire the prod-
uct.

Take care not to damage the leads.

When wiring, take care not to damage the leads. Prevent
them from getting caught in the vehicle chassis, screws, and
moving parts such as seat rails. Do not scratch, pull, bend or
twist the leads. Do not run them near heat sources or place
heavy objects on them. If leads must be run over sharp
metal edges, protect the leads by winding them with vinyl
tape or similar protection.
