holes in them. Be careful not to damage
fuel lines, brake lines, electronic compo-
nents, communication wires or power
cables.
! When using screws, do not allow them to
come into contact with any electrical lead.
Vibration may damage wires or insulation,
leading to a short circuit or other damage
to the vehicle.
! To ensure proper installation, be sure to
use the supplied parts in the manner spe-
cified. If any parts are not supplied with
this product, use compatible parts in the
manner specified after you have the parts'
compatibility checked by your dealer. If
parts other than supplied or compatible
ones are used, they may damage internal
parts of this product or they may work
loose and the product may become de-
tached.
! It is extremely dangerous to allow cables
to become wound around the steering col-
umn or gearstick. Be sure to install this
product, its cables, and wiring away in
such so that they will not obstruct or hin-
der driving.
! Make sure that leads cannot get caught in
a door or the sliding mechanism of a seat,
resulting in a short circuit.

your vehicle's other equipment after in-
stallation of this product.
! Do not install this product where it may (i)
obstruct the driver's vision, (ii) impair the
performance of any of the vehicle's oper-
ating systems or safety features, includ-
ing airbags, hazard lamp buttons or (iii)
impair the driver's ability to safely oper-
ate the vehicle.
! Install this product between the driver's
seat and front passenger seat so that it
will not be hit by the driver or passenger if
the vehicle stops quickly.
! Never install this product in front of or
next to the place in the dashboard, door,
or pillar from which one of your vehicle's
airbags would deploy. Please refer to your
vehicle's owner's manual for reference to
the deployment area of the frontal air-
bags.
! Failure to follow all of these precautions
may result in serious injury or death.
To avoid electromagnetic
interference
In order to prevent interference, set the follow-
ing items as far as possible from this product,
other cables or leads:
! FM, MW/LW aerial and its lead
! DAB aerial and its lead (for AVIC-F60DAB
and AVIC-F960DAB)
! GPS aerial and its lead
In addition, you should lay or route each aerial
lead as far as possible from other aerial leads.
Do not bind, lay or route them together, or
cross them. Electromagnetic noise will in-
crease the potential for errors in the vehicle's
location display.

tion requires drilling holes or other modifi-
cations of the vehicle.
