more information, check with the manufacturer, or its
representative, of your vehicle or any equipment that has
been added.
Only qualied personnel should service the device
or install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or
service may be dangerous and may invalidate any
warranty that may apply to the device.

your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not
store or carry ammable liquids, gases, or explosive
materials in the same compartment as the device, its
parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an
