• Press the “BACK” switch and the “UP” switch within 10 seconds after turning the ignition switch from OFF to ACC and hold them for
3 seconds or more. Then the buzzer sounds, all indicators of the
preset switch illuminate, and the self-diagnosis mode starts.
• The continuity of each switch and control dials (A/C and AV switch assembly only) at the ON position can be checked by pressing
each switch and turning each control dial. The buzzer sounds and
LED’s will illuminate if the switch is normal.
Finishing self-diagnosis mode
Self-diagnosis mode is canceled when turning the ignition switch OFF.
