CAUTION

Disconnect your vehicle's negative battery terminal before installation to prevent electrical damage. It is recommended to use a Volt/Ohm meter over a test light to check wiring, as a test light or grounded wire probe can damage the vehicle's computer and/or diagnostic systems. Avoid all factory airbag wiring, as accidental deployment can cause serious injury or death.

NOTES

• Refer to your vehicle's instructions for any special tools required for installation.
• Read all instructions accompanying your car stereo/cassette player for proper wiring and mounting procedures.
