WARNING
■Caution for use while driving
● When  operating  the  multi-information  display  while  driving,  pay   extra
attention to the safety of the area around the vehicle.
● Do  not  look  continuously  at  the  multi-information  display  while  driving  as
you  may  fail  to  see  pedestrians,  objects  on  the  road,  etc.  ahea d  of  the
vehicle.
■ The information display at low temperatures
Allow  the  interior  of  the  vehicle  to  warm  up  before  using  the  liquid  crystal
information  display. At  extremely  low  temperatures,  the  information  display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed. 
For  example,  there  is  a  lag  between  the  driver’s  shifting  and  the  new  gear
number  appearing  on  the  display. This  lag  could  cause  the  drive r  to  down-
shift  again,  causing  rapid  and  excessive  engine  braking  and  pos sibly  an
accident resulting in death or injury.
■ Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display , ensure that
the  vehicle  is  parked  in  a  place  with  adequate  ventilation.  In  a  closed  area
such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxi de (CO)
may  collect  and  enter  the  vehicle.  This  may  lead  to  death  or  a  serious
health hazard.
NOTICE
■ While setting up the display
To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while setting
up the display features.
