WARNING

■

Caution for use while driving

●

When operating the multi-information display while driving, pay extra attention to the

safety of the area around the vehicle.

●

Do not look continuously at the multi-information display while driving as you may fail

to see pedestrians, objects on the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.

■

Cautions during setting up the display

As the engine needs to be operating during setting up the display, ensure that the vehi-

cle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area such as a garage,

exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect and enter the

vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
