WARNING

■

Caution for use while driving

●

When operating the multi-information

display while driving, pay extra atten-

tion to the safety of the area around the

vehicle.

play

As the engine needs to be running dur-

ing setting up the display, ensure that the

vehicle is parked in a place with ade-

quate ventilation. In a closed area such as

a garage, exhaust gases including harm-

ful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect

and enter the vehicle. This may lead to

death or a serious health hazard.
