Ukusetha nokufaka

Izinyathelo Zokuphepha

  • Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal before starting installation to prevent electrical shorts.
  • Gqoka izinto zokuphepha ezifanele, okuhlanganisa nokuvikela amehlo.
  • Qinisekisa ukuthi zonke izintambo zifakwe kahle futhi ziboshwe ukuze kuvinjelwe umonakalo noma ukuphazamiseka.
  • Consult your vehicle's service manual for specific panel removal and wiring diagrams.
