Installation Notes

WARNING
• Please note the position of pipes, tanks
and electrical wirings before installing
the unit into the vehicle; failure in
avoiding these may cause a fire or
malfunction.
CAUTION
CAUTION
• Use only the supplied parts.
• If unspecified parts are used, they may
cause damage.
• Any holes made in the body of the vehicle
should be sealed with a silicon adhesive.
• If exhaust fumes or water penetrates into
the vehicle, this may cause an accident.
• Fasten the bolts securely when installing
the unit. If the bolts are loose an accident or
malfunction could occur.
Connection Notes
WARNING
• Loom all cables according to the
instruction manual, so as not to hinder
operation.
• Wire the connecting cords/cables away
from high temperature areas. If the
coatings of the cables melt, it could
cause an accident/fire by a short circuit.
Take care when wiring in the engine
compartment.
• When wiring the connecting cables in a
vehicle with an airbag system, never feed
the cables through a place where it may
affect the operation of the airbag.
• An airbag not operating correctly in an
emergency may cause increased injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION
• Verify wires with a digital multi-meter prior
to making any connections. Many new
vehicles use multiplexed and/or low voltage
circuits that can be damaged if a test light
or logic probe is used.
• Connect cables appropriately. If a wrong
connection is made, this may cause a fire or
accident.
• When passing cables through the body of
the vehicle, use non-conductive grommets.
• If the coatings of the cables are worn out by
rubbing, this may cause an accident, fire or
a short circuit.
• After wiring cables, fix them with insulation
tape.
• Be sure to switch off the vehicle when
connecting or disconnecting cords to/from
the unit, otherwise an electric shock, injury
or accident may occur.
