IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Please read all of these instructions regarding your display and retain them for future reference.

1Do not install the display where it may

(i)obstruct the driver’s vision, (ii) impair the performance of any of the vehicle’s operating systems or safety features, including air bags, hazard lamp buttons or

(iii)impair the driver’s ability to safely operate the vehicle.

2Do not operate this display if doing so in any way will divert your attention from the safe operation of your vehicle. Always observe safe driving rules and follow all existing traffic regulations. If you experience difficulty in operating the system or reading the display, park your vehicle in a safe location and make necessary adjustments.

3Please remember to wear your seat belt at all times while operating your vehicle. If you are ever in an accident, your injuries can be considerably more severe if your seat belt is not properly buckled.

4Never use headphones while driving.

5To promote safety, certain functions are disabled unless the parking brake is on, and the vehicle is not in motion.

6Never set the volume of your display so high that you cannot hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles.

To ensure safe driving

WARNING

!LIGHT GREEN LEAD AT POWER CONNECTOR IS DESIGNED TO DETECT PARKED STATUS AND MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE POWER SUPPLY SIDE OF THE PARKING BRAKE SWITCH. IMPROPER CONNECTION OR USE OF THIS LEAD MAY VIOLATE APPLICABLE LAW AND MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE.

!To avoid the risk of damage and injury and the potential violation of applicable laws, this unit is not for use with a video screen that is visible to the driver.

!To avoid the risk of accident and the potential violation of applicable laws, no viewing of front seat video should ever occur while the vehicle is being driven.

!In some countries or states the viewing of images on a display inside a vehicle even by persons other than the driver may be illegal. Where such regulations apply, they must be obeyed and this unit’s video features should not be used.

When you attempt to watch a video image while driving, the warning “Viewing of front seat video source while driving is strictly prohibited.” will appear on the front display.

To watch a video image on the front display, park your vehicle in a safe place and apply the parking brake.

Precautions

Parking brake interlock

Certain functions (Video viewing and certain touch panel keys) offered by this unit could be dangerous and/or unlawful if used while driving. To prevent such functions from being used while the vehicle is in motion, there is an interlock system that senses when the parking brake is set. 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 brake, (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.

When using a display connected to rear monitor output

The rear monitor output on this unit (V OUT) is used to connect a rear display that allows passengers in the rear seats to watch videos.

WARNING

NEVER install the rear display in a location where the driver can watch videos while driving.

When using the rear view camera

With an optional rear view camera, this unit can be used as an aid to keep an eye on trailers, or when backing into a tight parking spot.

WARNING

!SCREEN IMAGE MAY APPEAR REVERSED.

!USE INPUT ONLY FOR REVERSE OR MIRROR IMAGE REAR VIEW CAMERA. OTHER USE MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DAMAGE.

CAUTION

!The rear view camera function is to be used as an aid to keep an eye on trailers, or while backing up. Do not use for entertainment purposes.

!Please note that the edges of the rear view camera images may differ slightly according to whether full screen images are displayed when backing up, and whether the images are used for checking the rear when the vehicle is moving forward.

To avoid battery exhaustion

Keep the vehicle engine running when using this unit to avoid draining the battery power.

!When no power is supplied to this unit, such as when the vehicle battery is being replaced, the microcomputer of this unit returns to its initial condition. We recommend that you transcribe the audio adjustment data.

WARNING

Do not use with vehicles that do not feature an ACC position.
