User's Manual

The use of after-market equipment in motor vehicles can compromise a vehicle’s safe-

ty-related design characteristics, including but not limited to:

• Airbags, including but not limited to potential obstruction of airbag deployment;

• Passenger compartment, including but not limited to potential for ergonomic

problems, physical obstacles, etc.; and

• Trunk/gas tank protection, including but not limited to the potential for

trunk-mounted equipment to exacerbate tank vulnerability in a rear collision.

This product is to be installed by qualified installation personnel only. The installer must

be trained in industry best practices for this type of installation. The training would

include but not be limited to:

1. The appropriate methods for installing cables such that:

• The operation of the vehicle is not interfered with.

• The installation process does not damage or interfere with other vehicle compo-

nents and/or systems.

• Wiring is kept clear of sharp objects, sources of heat and any other hazard that

could damage the cable or wire.

• Wiring is secured such that it does not cause damage to other equipment, itself,

or interfere with the operation of other systems and devices.

• Wiring through bulkheads is performed such that wiring does not chafe, and a

seal is maintained between compartments.

• Appropriate and industry standard fasteners, splices, connectors and ties are used

for the vehicle environment.

• Appropriate slack is in place to prevent straining of the wire, cable or connectors.

• Any other issue that could affect the integrity of the wiring or the safe operation

of the vehicle is addressed appropriately.

• All wires connected to power sources are fused at the power source.
