To ensure safe driving

Certain functions (such as viewing of App­based visual content and certain touch panel
key operations) offered by this product 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 hand­brake 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 apply the handbrake. Please
keep the brake pedal pushed down before re­leasing the handbrake.

Protecting the LCD panel
and screen

p Do not allow direct sunlight to fall on the

LCD screen when this product is not being
used. Extended exposure to direct sunlight
can result in LCD screen malfunction due
to the resulting high temperatures.

ial of the mobile phone away from the LCD
screen to prevent disruption of the video in

finger only and gently touch the screen.
