Route the cord so that it does not
allow rainwater into the vehicle.
 If the vehicle is a hatchback, allow enough slack
in the cord so that it does not get pulled when the
rear door is opened or closed.
Note:
 Keep paint, wax, etc. off the GPS antenna. Also,
remove substances such as snow from the antenna
when they accumulate. These substances impede GPS
signal reception.
 Always remove the GPS antenna before using a car
wash. When removing it, take care not to pull on the
cord, as that could cause damage or a malfunction.
* Mounting the antenna close to a luggage carrier
or on the trunk lid impairs reception of signals
from the GPS satellites.
