• Never use headphones while driving.
• 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.

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.

Parking brake interlock
Certain functions (such as viewing video images 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, (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 releasing the parking brake.

WARNING

• LIGHT GREEN LEAD AT THE 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.

• In some countries, the viewing of video images 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 a video image while driving, the warning “Viewing of front seat video source while driving is strictly prohibited.” will appear on the screen. To watch the 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.
