• Do not mount the hide-away unit near the heater outlet, where it would be affected by heat,
or near the doors, where rainwater might splash onto it.

• Before drilling any mounting holes always check behind where you want to drill the holes.
Do not drill into the gas line, brake line, electrical wiring or other important parts.

• If the hide-away unit is installed in the passenger compartment, anchor it securely so it does
not break free while the car is moving, and cause injury or an accident.

• If the hide-away unit is installed under a front seat, make sure it does not obstruct seat
movement. Route all leads and cords carefully around the sliding mechanism so they do not
get caught or pinched in the mechanism and cause a short circuit.
