. If your vehicle is washed with a
high-pressure washer, do not
allow water to contact the camera
directly. Entry of water in the
camera lens may result in con-
densation, malfunction, fire or
electric shock.

device, do not subject it to strong
impacts. Otherwise, malfunction,
fire or electric shock may occur.
