Installation Instructions

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION



 Park the vehicle on level ground, set the

parking brake and turn off the ignition switch.

 You will need a flat work space to work on

the dash.

 Always wear safety glasses when working on

your vehicle.

 When working on your vehicle always

remove the negative side of the battery.

Reconnecting the battery will be the last step.

NOTE

o Everywhere you remove a screw, push-

pin/push-rivet or connector; you should mark

it with a small piece of lightweight tape. This

assures that you replace each piece of your

vehicle and the new equipment is in the

proper position.
