NOTE●To listen to the audio system when the engine is stopped,
turn the ignition key to the “ACC” position.
● If a cellular phone is used in side the vehicle, it may create
noise in the audio equipment. This does not mean that
anything is wrong with your audio equipment. In such
cases, use the cellular phone at a place as far as possible
from the audio equipment.
● If foreign objects or water get into the audio equipment, or
if smoke or a strange odour comes from it, immediately
turn the audio system off. We recommend that you have it
checked. Never try to repair it yourself. Avoid continuous
usage without inspection by a qualified person.
