Make sure there is nothing behind the

To ensure proper installation, be sure to
use the supplied parts in the manner spe-
cified. If any parts are not supplied with
this product, use compatible parts in the
manner specified after you have the parts
’
compatibility checked by your dealer. If
parts other than supplied or compatible
ones are used, they may damage internal
parts of this product or they may work
loose and the product may become de-
tached.

It is extremely dangerous to allow cables
to become wound around the steering col-
umn or gearstick. Be sure to install this
product, its cables, and wiring away in
such so that they will not obstruct or hin-
der driving.
!
Make sure that leads cannot get caught in
a door or the sliding mechanism of a seat,
resulting in a short circuit.

your vehicle
’
s other equipment after in-
stallation of the navigation system.
!
Do not install this navigation system
where it may (i) obstruct the driver
’
s vi-
sion, (ii) impair the performance of any of
the vehicle
’
s operating systems or safety
features, including airbags, hazard lamp
buttons or (iii) impair the driver
’
s ability
to safely operate the vehicle.
!
Install the navigation system between the
driver

that it will not be hit by the driver or pas-
senger if the vehicle stops quickly.
!
Never install the navigation system in
front of or next to the place in the dash-
board, door, or pillar from which one of
your vehicle
’
s airbags would deploy.

interference
In order to prevent interference, set the follow-
ing items as far as possible from this naviga-
tion system, other cables or leads:

In addition, you should lay or route each aerial
lead as far as possible from other aerial leads.
