Installation Manual

1. Points to Note

• For safety and proper use, professional installation is recommended. Avoid private disassembly to prevent product damage or accidents.
• Arrange each wiring harness according to the manual, securing it to the vehicle's original wiring with cable ties. Ensure harnesses are not near fasteners or screw holes to prevent crushing by trim panels.
• Before installation, check the instrument panel function display, vehicle buttons, door/window operation, and for any scratches on interior/exterior surfaces. Report any issues promptly.
• During disassembly and assembly, avoid carrying metal ornaments or hard objects to prevent damage to paintwork, seats, and interior. Place removed trim components carefully to avoid scratches.
• All pictures are for reference only; vehicle models with different configurations may have different appearances, but installation methods remain the same.
• For wiring harness terminals not pre-inserted into connectors, insert them first to prevent short circuits after routing. Then, connect other plugs to the original connectors.

2. Installation Tools

• Threading tools
• Quick release ratchet wrench set
• Electric drill and drill bits
• Other tools
