Mounting the Pathfinder Expansion Module
After wiring and connecting the system, the next step is to permanently mount the
siren in the vehicle. Verify that the mounting locations you selected earlier are safe
for installing these components. Review the following precautions before mounting
the equipment.
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT: Do not install equipment or route wiring in the
deployment path of an airbag. Failure to observe this warning will reduce the
effectiveness of the airbag or potentially dislodge the equipment, causing
serious injury or death.
SEAT REMOVAL PRECAUTION: If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify
with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to be recalibrated for proper
airbag deployment.
UNIT REQUIRES AIR FLOW: Do not install the siren in areas where the air flow
is restricted. Do not mount the unit near a heater duct or under the hood.
MODULE IS NOT WATERPROOF: The housing of the siren is NOT waterproof.
Select a mounting location that allows the vehicle, controls, and microphone to
be operated safely under all driving conditions. To identify safe mounting areas
for equipment inside the vehicle, consult the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines.
To avoid driver distraction and unreliable switch activation, the mounting location
must not allow any movement of the unit. Installer-supplied mounting hardware is
required to mount the siren.
