Safety Warnings

You will find a number of WARNINGs, CAUTIONs and NOTEs in this supplement.

These safety warnings alert you to potential hazards that could result in injury to you or others.

Please read these safety warnings as well as all other portions of this supplement carefully in order to gain a better understanding of how to use your Monitor system safely.

WARNING

A WARNING indicates a situation in which serious injury or death could result if the warning is ignored.

CAUTION

A CAUTION indicates a situation in which injury or damage to your vehicle including Monitor system, or both, could result if the caution is ignored.

NOTE

A NOTE gives information or suggestions how to make better use of your Monitor system.

Before Use

■ Precautions when using the system

WARNING

Read this manual first

Read this supplement carefully before using your monitor system. We are not liable for accidents or other problems resulting from failure to follow the instructions in this supplement.

Avoid operating the monitor while driving

You should stop the vehicle in a safe place before operating the monitor. For safety’s sake, some of the monitor’s functions cannot be used unless the vehicle is stationary.

Look at the monitor only when necessary

When you need to look at the monitor, do so for the shortest time possible. Looking away from the road for too long could lead to an accident.

Keep the volume low enough for you to hear outside sounds

Keep the system’s volume level low enough for you to be able to hear outside sounds while driving. To do otherwise may mean that you are unable to react appropriately to traffic conditions thus resulting in an accident.

CAUTION

Never disassemble or modify the monitor

Any attempt to disassemble or modify the monitor could lead to a fire, an electric shock, or some other type of accident.

Do not continue using the monitor if it malfunctions

If the system shows any sign of malfunctioning (for example, the monitor gives no picture), stop using it immediately and contact the nearest SUBARU dealer. Continuing to use the system could lead to a fire, an electric shock, or some other type of accident.

If the monitor gets contaminated, emits smoke or an odd smell, stop using it

If a foreign object gets inside the system, liquid is spilled onto the system, or the system emits smoke or an unusual smell, stop using it immediately and contact the nearest SUBARU dealer. Continuing to use the system could lead to a fire, an electric shock, or some other type of accident.

CAUTION

The displays contain mercury. Therefore, the displays must be removed before vehicle disposal. Once the displays have been removed, please reuse, recycle or dispose of them as hazardous waste.

Before Use

■ About the monitor

• Subjecting the control buttons or liquid crystal display to excessive shock could result in monitor deformation or other damage.

• Keep any heat source (including lighted cigarettes) away from the monitor. If a heat source is brought into contact with the monitor’s cabinet and panel, they could be deformed or otherwise degraded.

• In extreme cold, the monitor may operate sluggishly and the display may dim. Such conditions do not indicate a problem. They will disappear when the cabin temperature rises to a normal temperature.

• Tiny black and white dots may occasionally appear in the liquid crystal display. These dots are a normal characteristic of the display. They do not indicate a problem.

• When the monitor’s display requires cleaning, gently wipe it with a silicone cloth or other soft cloth. If necessary, spray the cloth with neutral cleaning fluid. Be sure to wipe away any cleaning fluid left on the display surface. Do not spray the cleaning fluid directly onto the display surface. Spraying cleaning fluid directly onto the display surface could cause an adverse effect on internal components. It is also not a good idea to wipe the display surface with a stiff cloth or attempt to clean it using thinners, alcohol, or any other volatile solvent. Doing so could leave scratches and/or erase the control button labels.

• Do not allow the monitor to get wet. If it gets wet (allowing, for example, to a spilled drink or wet umbrella), its internal electronic circuitry may malfunction.

• In hot weather, cool the passenger compartment down before using the monitor. The liquid crystal display operates correctly at temperatures between 32°F and 140°F (0°C and 60°C). When the temperature exceeds 140°F (60°C), the monitor’s circuit protection function is activated, causing the display to dim.
