children.

• Do not touch the TV aerial and monitor at

the same time during storms. You may get
an electric shock.

• If your car was parked in direct sunlight

resulting in a considerable rise in
temperature inside the car, allow the unit to
cool off before operating it.

Preventing accidents
The TV/video pictures appear only after
you park the car and set the parking brake.
When the car starts moving, the TV/video
pictures automatically disappear for safety
reasons, after displaying the following
caution.

Do not operate equipment connected to
the TV tuner unit or watch the monitor
while driving. You may cause a traffic
accident if your attention is distracted by
the monitor.

• Do not use the Set Up feature while

driving, or perform any other function
which could divert your attention from the
road.

• When you connect the back camera:

– When you drive, watch the surroundings

carefully for your safety. Do not depend
on the back camera exclusively.

• When backing up you car, be sure to look

back for your safety.
