SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Always follow the safety precautions below when installing the device.

WARNING

●

Before making connections, disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to short-circuit.

●

Discontinue use in the event of malfunction or abnormality.

●

Route the cables and bundle them with tape or the like so that they do not interfere with

driving operation.

If a cable coils around the steering column, gear lever, brake pedals, etc., it may lead to an accident.

●

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the unit.

Never attempt to disassemble or modify the unit. Doing so may result in accident, fire, electric shock or

other malfunction.

●

Never use the vehicle's safety-related parts* for mounting or grounding the device.

* Nuts and bolts in the steering system, seat rails, brake system, tanks, etc.

Doing so may result in loss of control, fire or traffic accident.

●

Do not install this device in the following kind of places.

• Places that would obstruct the view to the front

• Places that would obstruct driving operations, such as the steering wheel, shift lever or brake pedal

• Places that present a hazard to passengers

Doing so may result in accident or injury.

●

Never mount or make connections in a place that would obstruct operation of the air

bags.

Mounting or making connections in a place that obstructs air bag operation will cause a problem if the

air bag system cannot operate properly during a car accident.

●

If installation of the device requires making a hole in the chassis, check the position of the

pipes, tanks, electrical wires, etc. and be sure to avoid interference or contact. Also, take

steps to prevent rust and water penetration.

Damaged pipes or other parts may lead to fire or electrical shock.

●

Never cut the insulation on the power cord to power another device.

Doing so will overload the cord and may cause a fire or electrical shock.

●

After completing installation and wiring work, check and make sure the vehicle's electri-

cal equipment* is working properly.

* Brakes, lights, horn, hazard lamps, blinkers, etc.

Malfunctioning equipment may lead to fire, electric shock or traffic accident.

●

Never drive looking solely at the monitor. This is an auxiliary device to supplement the

driver’s field of vision ; it does not show all hazards or obstacles. Actual distances and

perceptions may differ, so be sure to visually check safety while driving. Failure to do so

creates the risk of hitting a person or object in the camera’s blind spot, causing a serious

accident.

CAUTION

●

Entrust the installation and any modifications to the installation to an expert.

Failure to do so may result in an accident or fire. Contact the dealer where the device was purchased.

●

When installing the device on a vehicle with air bags, check the warnings on such work

provided by the maker of the vehicle before performing the work.

Failure to do so may result in malfunction of the air bags.

●

Follow the instructions in the manual when mounting and connecting the device.

Incorrect installation and/or connection may result in fire or accident.

●

Be sure to use the accessories and specified parts.

Using components other than those specified may lead to damage of the parts inside the device or the

inability to secure them firmly, resulting in them becoming detached and leading to an accident or mal-

function.

●

After wiring the various cords, secure them with clamps and/or insulating tape.

If the cables come into contact with the chassis, they will fray and short-circuit, leading to an accident or

fire.

●

Route the cables so that they do not get caught in the chassis, screws, seat rails or other

moving parts.

Damaged or short-circuited cables may result in an accident, electric shock or fire.

●

Never mount in a location subject to a lot of vibration or where it cannot be securely fas-

tened.

If the unit comes loose, it may result in an accident or injury.

●

Do not install in a location subject to direct sunlight or hot air from the heater.

The temperature inside the unit may get too high, resulting in fire or damage.

IMPORTANT POINTS WHEN VIEWING THE SCREEN

■

Obstacles on screen may feel farther away than they actually are.

■

There may be discrepancies between the top view image and the distance marker.

■

Objects such as people or vehicles may appear warped in the top view.

■

The representation of your vehicle in the top view image is not actually an image of your ve-

hicle viewed from above.

■

Objects in the camera image appear larger in relation to the representation of your vehicle

than they actually are.

■

When an obstacle is not on the ground, it may not be displayed in the top view and/or its

position may be displayed inaccurately relative to your vehicle.

■

When an object (person, pole, etc.) is in the seam between the camera images in the top

view (Ex.: black line on the boundary between the bird’s eye views of the side camera image

and the rear camera image), it may not be displayed in the top view, so make safety checks

using other camera images, your mirrors and direct visual checks.
