Driving Safety
• Never watch the TV or try to adjust settings while driving. Doing so creates the
danger of traffic accident. Before operating the TV, be sure to stop the car in a safe
area.
• Never install the unit on the dashboard or in any other location where it obstructs
forward vision. Items that obstruct forward vision in a motor car may be illegal. Also,
make sure that all components are installed where they do not interfere with
operation of the steering wheel, shift lever, brake pedal, etc., for example under the
driver’s seat, and where they do not endanger passengers. Improper installation
creates the danger of traffic accident and personal injury.
• Make sure all cables are bundled together so they do not interfere with car opera-
tion, as described in this manual. Improperly installed cables create the danger of
entanglement with the steering wheel, shift lever, brake pedal, etc.
