Installation
Disconnect the battery if necessary.
However, the downstream theft-protection systems may have to be
reprogrammed.
Traffic safety, functionality of the safety equipment / operating elements
Installing the components in an unsuitable location can cause injury in the
event of an accident or hinder the efficacy of safety devices (e.g. airbags).
Observe the instructions of the vehicle manufacturer relating to installation.
Install the system so that the driver's view is not obstructed and access to all
important controls is not hindered.
During installation, ensure that the function of the airbag is not constrained,
or that it is not accidentally triggered.
Secure the components so that these cannot break loose in the event of a
collision or sudden braking.
Damage to the cable
Ensure that the cable does not become trapped or damaged.
Plan your installation position so that the cables cannot become kinked,
trapped or damaged.
Fasten the cables and connectors so that the plug connections are not
subjected to any tensile stress or lateral forces.
