Before using this product, be sure to read

regulations. If you experience difficulty
in operating this product or reading the
display, park your vehicle in a safe loca-
tion and apply the parking brake before

To promote safety, certain functions are
disabled unless the vehicle is stopped

information.
Do not install this product where it may
(i) obstruct the driver's vision, (ii) impair

Parking brake interlock

Certain functions (such as viewing of video
image and certain touch panel key opera-
tions) offered by this product could be dan-
gerous (possibly resulting in serious injury
or death) and/or unlawful if used while driv-
ing. 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 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 brake,
(2) release the parking brake, and then (3)
apply the parking brake again. Please keep
the brake pedal pushed down before releas-
ing the parking brake.
