Safety directions 

 
To ensure safety the GC90 complies with the following labels. 
 

 

 

 

 
For the GC90 the following safety instructions apply, also printed in the item it concerns: 
 

 

Only use the GC90 for the purpose as described in this installation manual. 

 

 

 

The installer of the GC90 should have technical knowledge of modern cars 
and be experienced in working on them. 

 

 

 

Incorrect and/or ignorant installation, connection, adjustments and/or 
diagnostics can lead to vehicle and/or GC90 malfunctions 
and indirectly affect road safety. 

 

 

 

Never alter or manipulate a GC90. Alterations or technical manipulations 
made to the GoldCruise products can affect its safety adversely. 

 

 

 

Inform the customer whenever no clutch protection is installed. 
Point out that the GC90 will not disengage when depressing the clutch 
pedal. John Gold advises always to install a clutch protection (if applicable). 

 

 

 

Connect the “twisted pair” brown and brown/white wires in such a way 
that, with the brake pedal released, one wire has +12V from the brake light 
fuse and the other has ground through the brake lights.
