WARNING
■Before using the head-up display
●Check that the position and brightness
of the head-up display image does not interfere with safe driving. Incorrect adjustment of the image’s position or
brightness may obstruct the driver’s view and lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not continuously look at the head-
up display while driving as you may fail to see pedestrians, objects on the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.
■Caution for changing settings of the
head-up display
As the engine needs to be running
while changing the settings of the head-up display, ensure that the vehicle is
parked in a place with adequate ventila- tion. In a closed area such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon
monoxide (CO) may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to components
●Do not place any drinks near the head-up display projector. If the projector
gets wet, electrical malfunctions may result.
●Do not place anything on or put stick-ers onto the head-up display projector. Doing so could interrupt head-up dis-
play indications.
●Do not touch the inside of the head-up display projector or thrust sharp edges
or the like into the projector. Doing so could cause mechanical mal-functions.
■When changing the settings of the
head-up display
To prevent battery discharge, ensure that
the engine is running while the changing the set-tings of the head-up display.
