WARNINGS: (To prevent accidents and damage)

• DO NOT install any unit or wire any cable in a location where; – it may obstruct the steering wheel and gearshift

lever operations.

– it may obstruct the operation of safety devices

such as air bags.

– it may obstruct visibility.

• DO NOT operate the unit while driving. If you need to operate the unit while driving, be sure

to look around carefully.

• The driver must not watch the monitor while driving.

• The driver must not put on the headphones while driving.

• Excessive sound pressure from earphones or headphones can cause hearing loss when you listen through earphones or headphones playing the rear source.

Cautions on the monitor:

• The monitor built in this unit has been produced with high precision, but it may have some ineffective dots. This is inevitable and is not considered defective.

• Do not expose the monitor to direct sunlight.

• Do not operate the touch panel using a ball-point pen or similar tool with the sharp tip.

Touch the buttons on the touch panel with your

finger directly (if you are wearing a glove, take it off).

Chemical changes occur inside, causing malfunction.

– – Pictures may not appear clearly or may move

slowly. Pictures may not be synchronized with the sound or picture quality may decline in such environments.

For safety...

• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will make driving dangerous by blocking outside sounds, and may cause hearing loss.

• Stop the car before performing any complicated operations.

Temperature inside the car...

If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes normal before operating the unit.

For security reasons, a numbered ID card is provided with this unit, and the same ID number is imprinted on the unit’s chassis. Keep the card in a safe place, as it will help the authorities to identify your unit if stolen.
