Some cars equipped with the electrical safety system have specific procedures of battery terminal disconnection.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE MAY LEAD TO THE

UNINTENDED ACTIVATION OF THE ELECTRICAL SAFETY

SYSTEM RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND

PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Do not use safety-related vehicle components (fuel tank, brake, suspension, steering wheel, pedals, airbag, etc.) for wiring or fixing the product or its accessories.

???Installing the product on the air bag cover or in a location where it interferes with airbag operation is prohibited.

???Check for piping, gasoline tank, electric wiring, and other items before installing the product.

When wiring, take care not to damage the leads. Prevent them from getting caught in the vehicle chassis, screws, and moving parts such as seat rails. Do not scratch, pull, bend or twist the leads. Do not run them near heat sources or place heavy objects on them. If leads must be run over sharp metal edges, protect the leads by winding them with vinyl tape or similar protection.

???Use the designated parts and tools for installation.
