Notes
• Before finally installing the unit, connect the
wiring temporarily, making sure it is all con-
nected up properly, and the unit and the sys-
tem work properly.
• Use only the parts included with the unit to
ensure proper installation. The use of unautho-
rized parts can cause malfunctions.
• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation
requires the drilling of holes or other modifica-
tions of the vehicle.
• Install the unit where it does not get in the
driver’s way and cannot injure the passenger if
there is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop.
• The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it
overheats, so don’t install the unit anywhere
hot — for instance, near a heater outlet.
• If installation angle exceeds 30° from horizon-
tal, the unit might not give its optimum perfor-
mance. (

the following illustrated installation methods.
Holder
After inserting the holder into the dash-board, then
select the appropriate tabs according to the thick-
ness of the dash-board material and bend them.
(Install as firmly as possible using the top and

become aligned (are fitted), and tighten the
screws at 2 places on each side. Use either
truss screws (5
