Connecting the System
3
Pioneer does not recommend that you install your navigation system yourself. We
recommend that only authorised Pioneer service personnel, who have special training
and experience in mobile electronics, set up and install this navigation system.
NEVER SERVICE THIS NAVIGATION SYSTEM YOURSELF. Installing or ser-
vicing this navigation system and its connecting cables may expose you to the risk of
electric shock or other hazards, and can cause damage to the navigation system that
is not covered by warranty.
• If you decide to perform the installation yourself, and have special training
and experience in the mobile electronics installations, please carefully follow
all of the steps in the Installation Manual.
• Secure all wiring with cable clamps or electrical tape. Do not allow any bare
wiring to remain exposed.
• Do not directly connect the yellow lead of this navigation system to the vehi-
cle battery. If the lead is directly connected to the battery, engine vibration
may eventually cause the insulation to fail at the point where the wire passes
from the passenger compartment into the engine compartment. If the yellow
lead’s insulation tears as a result of contact with metal parts, short-circuiting
can occur, resulting in considerable danger.
• It is extremely dangerous to allow the GPS aerial cable or microphone cable
to become wound around the steering column or gearstick. Be sure to install
this navigation system, its cables, and wiring away in such a way that they
will not obstruct or hinder driving.
• Make sure that the cables and wires are routed and secured so they will not
interfere with or become caught in any of the vehicle’s moving parts, espe-
cially the steering wheel, gearstick, handbrake, sliding seat tracks, doors, or
any of the vehicle’s controls.
