As  the  hybrid  system  needs  to  be  operating  during  setting  up  th e  display,
ensure  that  the  vehicle  is  parked  in  a  place  with  adequate  vent ilation.  In  a
closed  area  such  as  a  garage,  exhaust  gases  including  harmful  c arbon
monoxide (CO) may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead  to death or
a serious health hazard.
NOTICE

To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the hybrid sy stem is oper-
ating while setting up the display features.
