CAUTION: Metra recommends disconnecting the negative battery

terminal before beginning any installation, unless the vehicle

manufacturer recommends against so. Please check with your

local Dealership for more information. All accessories, switches,

climate controls panels, and especially air bag indicator lights

must be connected before reconnecting the battery or cycling

the ignition. Also, do not remove the factory radio with the key

in the on position, or the vehicle running. It would be best to

remove the key from the ignition and then wait a few seconds

before removing the factory radio.
