The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most ou t of your equipment by playing it at a sa fe level—a level that lets the s ound come
through clearl y without annoying blaring or distortion and, most impo rtantly, without affectin g your
sensitive hearing. So und can be deceiving.
Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal”
can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
▶ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
– Set your volume control at a low setting.
– Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without
distortion.
– Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it
there.
▶BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
– Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
– Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

• Rear visibility systems (backup cameras) are required in certain new vehicles sold in
WAR NIN G
the U.S. and Canada. U.S. regulations began according to a two year phase-in on May
1, 2016, and both the U.S. and Canada require that all such vehicles manufactured on
or after May 1, 2018 have rear visibility systems. Owners of vehicles equipped with
compliant rear visibility systems should not install or use this product in a way
that alters or disables that system's compliance with applicable regulations. If
you are unsure whether your vehicle has a rear visibility system subject to the U.S. or
Canadian regulations, please contact the vehicle manufacturer or dealer.
If your vehicle has a compliant backup camera that displays the backup view through
the factory receiver, do not use the Pioneer receiver unless it is connected to and
displays the same view as the factory backup camera. Connection to the factory
backup camera will require an adaptor, sold separately. Not all vehicles may be able to
connect. Please check with a qualified professional installer for installation options
specific to your vehicle.

the parking brake is set and when the vehicle is moving. If you attempt to use the
functions described above while driving, they will become disabled until you stop the
vehicle in a safe place, and (1) apply the parking brak e, (2) release the parking brake, and
then (3) apply the parking brake again. Please keep the brake pedal pushed down
before releasing the parking brake.
