CAUTION
• Never install this product in places where,
or in a manner that:
– Could injure the driver or passengers if
the vehicle stops suddenly.
– May interfere with the driver’s operation
of the vehicle, such as on the floor in
front of the driver’s seat, or close to the
steering wheel or gearstick.
• Make sure there is nothing behind the
dashboard or panelling when drilling
holes in them. Be careful not to damage
fuel lines, brake lines, electronic
components, communication wires or
power cables.
• When using screws, do not allow them to
come into contact with any electrical
lead. Vibration may damage wires or
insulation, leading to a short circuit or
other damage to the vehicle.
• To ensure proper installation, be sure to
use the supplied parts in the manner
specified. If any parts are not supplied
with this product, use compatible parts in
the manner specified after you have the
part 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 detached.
• It is extremely dangerous to allow cables
to become wound around the steering
column or gearstick. Be sure to install this
product, its cables, and wiring away in
such so that they will not obstruct or
hinder driving.
• Make sure that leads cannot get caught
in a door or the sliding mechanism of a
seat, resulting in a short circuit.
• Please confirm the proper function of
your vehicle’s other equipment after
installation of this product.
• Do not install this product where it may
(i) obstruct the driver’s vision,
(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 this product between the driver’s
seat and front passenger seat so that it
will not be hit by the driver or passenger
if the vehicle stops quickly.
• Never install this product in front of or
next to the place in the dashboard, door,
or pillar from which one of your vehicle’s
airbags would deploy. Please refer to your
vehicle’s owner’s manual for reference to
the deployment area of the frontal
airbags.
• Failure to follow all of these precautions
may result in serious injury or death.

Installation
Precautions before
installation
To avoid
electromagnetic
interference
• GPS aerial and its lead
In addition, you should lay or route each
aerial lead as far as possible from other
aerial leads. Do not bind, lay or route them
together, or cross them. Electromagnetic
noise will increase the potential for errors
in the vehicle’s location display.
• Consult with your nearest dealer if
installation requires drilling holes or
other modifications of the vehicle.
• Before making a final installation of this
product, temporarily connect the wiring
to confirm that the connections are
correct and the system works properly.
• Do not install this product in places
subject to high temperatures or
humidity, such as:
– Places close to a heater, vent or air
conditioner.
– Places exposed to direct sunlight, such
as on top of the dashboard.
– Places that may be exposed to rain,
such as close to the door or on the
vehicle’s floor.
• Install this product in an area strong
enough to bear its weight. Choose a
position where this product can be firmly
installed, and install it securely. If this
product is not securely installed, the
current location of the vehicle cannot be
displayed correctly.
• Install this product horizontally on a
surface within 0 to 30 degrees tolerance
(within 5 degrees to the left or right).
Improper installation of the unit with the
surface tilted more than these tolerances
increases the potential for errors in the
vehicle’s location display, and might
otherwise cause reduced display
performance.
• When installing, to ensure proper heat
dispersal when using this unit, make sure
you leave ample space behind the rear
panel and wrap any loose cables so they
are not blocking the vents.
• The cords must not cover the area shown
in the figure below. This is necessary to
allow the amps and navigation
mechanism to dissipate heat.
Do not cover this area.
• The semiconductor laser will be damaged
if it overheats, so don’t install this product
anywhere hot- for instance, near a heater
outlet.
