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.

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.
