Never drill into supporting or safety-relevant body parts.
It is essential to observe the following when installing components
in the passenger compartment:
A
Ensure that the driver has a clear all-round view.
A
Increased risk of injury in the event of an accident. Do not install
components in the inflation range of the airbag or in areas where the
head or knees may knock against them.
A
Only install in vehicles with 12V on-board voltage and negative
earth. Risk of malfunction, damage and vehicle fire if installed in
unsuitable vehicles (e. g. heavy goods vehicles, busses).
A
Do not damage safety system wiring (airbag etc.). (Lines are
normally specially marked, for example by labels.)
A
Do not use test lamps to test the voltage, since excessively high
currents can damage / destroy electronic components.
A
Do not use any pinch or cut connectors. Solder all wiring
connections. Insulate all solder points with shrink hose or insulating
tape.
A
Fit toothed washers at earth connections to the vehicle body. If
necessary, remove paint and dirt beforehand. Subsequently, protect
bare metal against corrosion.
A
In order to ensure perfect installation, use only the original
components supplied. The use of non-authorised components may
result in malfunction.
A
Do not install the unit positions where it is exposed to high
temperatures, dust, dirt or excessive vibration (e.g. due to direct
sunlight or heating vents).
Taking safety precautions
A
Before starting work, disconnect the earth cable from the negative
terminal of the vehicle battery, in order to prevent short circuits. At the
same time, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s safety instructions (alarm
system, airbag, immobiliser, radio coding etc.).
A
Only connect electrical signals to suitable connecting points in the
vehicle.
A
For direct connection of permanent positive (red lead) to the
battery, the fuse must be no further than 10 - 15 cm from the positive
terminal of the battery. If it is necessary to extend the positive lead, an
additional 10 A fuse must be provided close to the battery (max.
distance 10 - 15 cm). Failure to do so may result in a wiring fire hazard.
