2.1. Before handling <for installation personnel>
DangerDo not install the product in wet places. It may result in a fire caused by an electricalshort circuit.
Keep the wiring away from locations which affect steering, safety and brake systems.
Interfering with normal operation of the vehicle can result in an accident or fire.
Ensure that the vehicle will remain stationary and turn the power off before installing
this product. Failure to do so could result in a fire, and could make the vehicle move during
installation.
Remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal prior
to installation of this product. Failure to do so could result in a fire caused by an electricalshort circuit.
Take care not to install this product in a way that interferes with safety equipment such asseat belts and air bag systems or vehicle operation equipment such as engine controls,
steering wheel and brake systems. Interference with normal operation of the vehicle canresult in an accident or fire.
Solder or use a solderless connector for wiring connections and make sure connections
are insulated. In areas where there could be tension or sudden impacts on the wiring,
safeguard the wiring with corrugated tubing or other shock absorbent material. Accidental
shorts can cause fires.
While wiring power supply wire, to avoid the risk of electrical shock or fire, be sure toconfirm that there is no disconnection or breakage of wire. Poor connection can result inshort-circuit, electrical shock, fire, or other hazards.
The ignition-switched +12V (IGN) line must be connected to the vehicle's ignitionswitched wire with a fuse of 30A or less. High-capacity fuse (more than 30A) will not
blowout even with an abnormal current flow and may cause fire.
Discontinue use of this product if a blowout of the fuse has occurred. Continued use while
the condition exists could result in an accident, fire, or damage to the vehicle.
Use the tube fuse of regulated capacity when the fuse of the power source wire ischanged. Using a fuse that exceeds regulated capacity may cause fire.
Discontinue use of this product if the product doesn't operate or operates improperly.
Continued use while the condition exists could result in an accident or damage.

In vehicles equipped with illumination control (vehicles with pulse-controlled illumination
signals, such as European vehicles), the ADVANCE CAN Driver (DF156 series) is necessary
to make the illumination of Defi gauges work properly with the DF077 unit, but the DF177
unit allows the illumination control signal of vehicle to be input as an illumination on/off
signal to the ADVANCE system.
The DF077 series has been discontinued. Some units included in set products withgauges may have different production periods.

22

Return to top□Check that the sensor and wires are not interfering with the engine operation.
□Ensure that the gauge and wires are tightly attached, so they don't come loose andhinder driving.
□Check that all wires disconnected from the vehicle during installation have been properly
reattached.
Warning
After installation, check that no materials or tools remain in the driver's seat or theengine compartment. If there are tools left at the feet of the driver's seat, this may cause adriver to lose control of brake because of tools or materials caught under the brake pedal. If
there are tools in the engine compartment, the engine may break.
□Ensure that the negative battery terminal is tightly attached. Close the hood properly.

Error displays of wire disconnection, short circuit, and serial error

If there are disconnection of wire and/or sensor, or short circuits of wire and/or sensor, thewarning LED blinks. Error messages are displayed on displays. Once the error message isdisplayed, the warning LED keeps blinking until the ignition is turned off. Please turn off theignition immediately and check the wiring of sensors and wires. The short-circuit error
display for oil pressure and fuel pressure are displayed only during short-circuiting.
If the communication between gauges/displays and the control unit is failed, serial error
massage is displayed and warning and Peak LEDs blink at the same time.

CautionIf an error is displayed, turn the ignition off immediately, and then confirm the wiring of
the sensor and the sensor wire. If any defects are not found, please ask the shop for
