v20200325 Installation Instructions:
Important notes before installing:

- The SAAS S-Drive is designed for specified vehicles only, please make sure this is the correct
product for your vehicle before you start the installation!
- All installation work should be done by a qualified professional to avoid damage to this product.
- All settings should be completed while the vehicle is stationary, for your own safety please do not
adjust while driving!

Fitting Guide:
- Turn the ignition off and remove the car key, leave the drivers door open and wait 10 minutes.
Note: Smart keys must be taken out of vehicle range!

- Locate the connector at the accelerator pedal and unplug it. For some vehicles it may be easier to
remove the accelerator pedal to access the wiring connector. During installation, do not touch the
brake pedal or open and close doors as this may wake up vehicle systems and cause an error code.

- Plug the S-Drive connector into your accelerator pedal and then plug the vehicle side back into
the S-Drive. Please plug the connectors in SLOWLY!, this will help prevent any damage to the pins.

- Note: If the connector does not fit, STOP the installation and check that you have the correct
product with your retailer!

- Plug the small white connector from the pedal harness into the S-Drive display and find a suitable
location on your dash to mount it. CAUTION: Please see below for connector orientation. Do NOT
reverse these connectors!

- Cable tie any excess wiring so it's out of the way and won't affect the vehicles operation.
(This is the installer’s responsibility!)
