How to handle display
The display is a liquid crystal display and
should be handled with care.
WARNING!
Never disassemble the display. Some parts
utilize extremely high voltage. Touching
them may result in serious personal injury.
Characteristics of liquid crystal display:
. If the temperature inside the vehicle is
especially low, the display will stay
relatively dim or the movement of the
images may be slow. These conditions
are normal. The display will function
normally when the interior of the
vehicle has warmed up.
. Some pixels in the display are darker or
brighter than others. This condition is
an inherent characteristic of liquid
crystal displays, and it is not a mal-
function.
. A remnant of the previous display
image may remain on the screen. This
screen burn is inherent in displays, and
it is not a malfunction.

cloth, alcohol, benzine, thinner and any
kind of solvent or paper towel with a
chemical cleaning agent. They will
scratch or deteriorate the panel.
. Do not splash any liquid such as water or
car fragrance on the display. Contact with
liquid will cause the system to malfunc-
tion.
.When cleaning the display, use the
exclusive cleaning cloth.
. Before cleaning, wipe away any sand or
dust from the surface of the display and shake out the exclusive cloth in order
to prevent damaging the display.
. If the display is heavily soiled, moisten
the exclusive cloth and then clean the
display. If the exclusive cloth is mois-
tened, be sure to dry it out sufficiently
before storing it. Color may be trans-
ferred to objects that it comes in
contact with.
. The exclusive cloth retains its cleaning
properties even if it is washed repeat-
edly.
. When washing the exclusive cloth, be
sure to rinse it thoroughly so that no
detergent remains.
. When ironing the exclusive cloth, iron
using a low temperature setting 176 to
