Important safeguards
WARNING
Pioneer does not recommend that you
install this product yourself. This product is
designed for professional installation only.
We recommend that only authorized
Pioneer service personnel, who have
special training and experience in mobile
electronics, set up and install this product.
NEVER SERVICE THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF.
Installing or servicing this product and its
connecting cables may expose you to the
risk of electric shock or other hazards, and
can cause damage to this product that is
not covered by warranty.
Precautions before
connecting the system
WARNING
Do not take any steps to tamper with or
disable the parking brake interlock system
which is in place for your protection.
Tampering with or disabling the parking
brake interlock system could result in
serious injury or death.
CAUTION
• Secure all wiring with cable clamps or
electrical tape. Do not allow any bare
wiring to remain exposed.
• Do not directly connect the yellow lead of
this product to the vehicle battery. If the
lead is directly connected to the battery,
engine vibration may eventually cause
the insulation to fail at the point where
the wire passes from the passenger
compartment into the engine
compartment. If the yellow lead's
insulation tears as a result of contact with
metal parts, short-circuiting can occur,
resulting in considerable danger.
• It is extremely dangerous to allow cables
to become wound around the steering
column or shift lever. Be sure to install
this product, its cables, and wiring away
in such so that they will not obstruct or
hinder driving.
