~3min read

WARNING

Always adjust the display brightness and position with the vehicle stopped:

Adjusting the display brightness and position while driving the vehicle is dangerous as doing so could distract your attention from the road ahead and lead to an accident.

CAUTION

  • Do not try to adjust the angle or open/close the active driving display manually. Fingerprints on the display will make it difficult to view and using excessive force when operating it could cause damage.
  • Do not place objects in the vicinity of the active driving display. The active driving display may not operate or any interference with its operation could cause damage.
  • Do not place beverages near the active driving display. If water or other liquids are splashed on the active driving display, it could cause damage.
  • Do not place objects above the active driving display screen or apply stickers to the combiner as they will cause interference.
  • A sensor is integrated to control the display's luminosity. If the optical receiver is covered, the display's luminosity will lower making the display difficult to view.
  • Do not allow intense light to hit the optical receiver. Otherwise, it could cause damage.

NOTE

  • It may be difficult to view the display when wearing sunglasses. Take off your sunglasses or adjust the luminosity.
  • If the battery terminal has been disconnected and re-connected or the battery voltage is low, the adjusted position may deviate.
  • The display may be difficult to view or temporarily affected by weather conditions such as rain, snow, light, and temperature.
