automotive electronics, systems and procedures.
• Whelen Engineering recommends the use of waterproof butt splices and/or connectors if that
connector could be exposed to moisture.
• If mounting this product requires drilling holes, the installer MUST be sure that no vehicle

Equipment mounted or located in the air bag deployment area will damage or reduce the
effectiveness of the air bag, or become a projectile that could cause serious personal injury
or death. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for the air bag deployment area. The
User/Installer assumes full responsibility to determine proper mounting location, based on
providing ultimate safety to all passengers inside the vehicle.
