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.
