2
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM
THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury
due to electrical shorts.
DO NOT ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME EN-
TANGLED IN SURROUNDING OBJECTS.
Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the
manual to prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or
wiring that obstruct or hang up on places such as the
steering wheel, shift lever, brake pedals, etc. can be
extremely hazardous.
DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.
Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to
other equipment. Doing so will exceed the current
carrying capacity of the wire and result in fire or electric
shock.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT
HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE
STEERING WHEEL OR SHIFT LEVER.
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper
movement etc. and results in serious accident.
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN
DRILLING HOLES.
When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take
precautions so as not to contact, damage or obstruct
pipes, fuel lines, tanks or electrical wiring. Failure to
take such precautions may result in fire.
DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR
STEERING SYSTEMS TO MAKE GROUND
CONNECTIONS.
Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or
any other safety-related system), or tanks should
NEVER be used for installations or ground connections.
Using such parts could disable control of the vehicle
and cause fire etc.
DO NOT INSTALL THE MONITOR NEAR THE
PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG.
If the unit is not installed correctly the air bag may not
function correctly and when triggered the air bag may
cause the monitor to spring upwards causing an
accident and injuries.
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in
fire or product damage.
DO NOT ALTER HARDWARE USED IN ANY
SAFETY-RELATED SYSTEMS DURING INSTALLA-
TION
Never use hardware, utilized to mount critical
components in the steering and brake systems or fuel
tanks, to make wiring or ground connections. Failure to
take such precautions can result in serious damage
from fire or vehicle failure.
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may
result in fire.
