WARNING
Always adjust the display brightness and position with the vehicle stopped:
Adjusting the display brightness and position while driving the vehicle is dangerous as
doing so could distract your attention from the road ahead and lead to an accident.
CAUTION
  Do not try to adjust the angle or open/close the active driving display manually.
Fingerprints on the display will make it diffi cult to view and using excessive force
when operating it could cause damage.
  Do not place objects in the vicinity of the active driving display. The active driving
display may not operate or any interference with its operation could cause damage.
  Do not place beverages near the active driving display. If water or other liquids are
splashed on the active driving display, it could cause damage.
  Do not place objects above the active driving display screen or apply stickers to the
combiner as they will cause interference.
  A sensor is integrated to control the display's luminosity. If the optical receiver is
covered, the display's luminosity will lower making the display diffi cult to view.

 Do not allow intense light to hit the optical receiver. Otherwise, it could cause damage.
