tems.

nals such as a screwdriver or wiring. It
may cause contact failure and system
malfunction.

market wiring into the terminal origi-
nally designed for fuse and relays
only. The electrical system and wiring

ensure it is securely closed. If the battery
cap is not securely closed, moisture may
enter the system and damage the elec-
trical components.

rofitting multimedia or theft alarm sys-
tem, car phone or radio may cause

a vehicle fire.
