Step 1: Prepare Your Work Area
Park your vehicle on a flat surface and engage the parking brake. Ensure you have enough space to work around the engine bay and that all necessary tools are readily available. Wear safety glasses and gloves to protect yourself during the installation.

Step 2: Disconnect the Battery
To prevent electrical mishaps, disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery. Refer to your owner's manual for guidance on safely disconnecting the battery.
