To Ensure Safe Driving; When Using A Display Connected To V Out; To Avoid Battery Exhaustion; Rear View Camera - Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX Operation Manuals

• Rear visibility systems (backup cameras) are required in certain new vehicles sold in
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.

To ensure safe driving

Parking brake interlock
Certain functions (such as viewing of video image and certain touch panel key
operations) offered by this product could be dangerous (possibly resulting in serious
injury or death) 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 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.
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.
• Do not take any steps to tamper with or disable the parking brake interlock system which is in
place for your protection. Tampering with or disabling the parking brake interlock system
could result in serious injury or death.
• To avoid the risk of damage and injury and the potential violation of applicable laws, this
product is not for use with a video image that is visible to the driver.
• In some countries the viewing of video image on a display inside a vehicle even by persons other
than the driver may be illegal. Where such regulations apply, they must be obeyed.
If you attempt to watch video image while driving, the warning "Viewing of front seat
video source while driving is strictly prohibited." will appear on the screen. To watch
video image on this display, stop the vehicle in a safe place and apply the parking brake.
Please keep the brake pedal pushed down before releasing the parking brake.

When using a display connected to V OUT

The video output terminal (V OUT) is for connection of a display to enable passengers in
the rear seats to watch video images.
WARNING
NEVER install the rear display in a location that enables the driver to watch video images while driving.
