locked in place. Otherwise it may fly out of
place during collisions and other jolts.
· When extending the ignition, battery or
ground wires, make sure to use automotive-
grade wires or other wires with an area of
0.75mm2 (AWG18) or more to prevent wire
deterioration and damage to the wire
coating.

smells, turn off the power immediately and
consult your Kenwood dealer.
· Make sure not to get your fingers caught
between the faceplate and the unit.
