WARNING

In order to protect driving safety and avoid breaking traffic laws, please DO NOT operate the interface while driving.

The reversing surveillance function is used only for reversing assistance. Please check the entire surroundings while reversing.

All steps of installation should be done by a well-trained specialist.

During installation, the ignition key should be taken off, and after all installation is finished, connect the power cable last.

Please DO NOT plug or pull connected cables while the power is on, to avoid damaging the monitor or accessory.

Install wiring in a manner that cables will not come into contact with metal parts. Wiring may be damaged by contact with metal parts, resulting in fire and shocks. Avoid all contact with hot surfaces when wiring the main unit. High temperatures may damage wiring, causing shorts, arcing, and fires.

Please DO NOT place the product in a damp environment or water, to avoid electric shock, damage, and fire accidents caused by a short circuit.

Kindly check all components are in the box when receiving the product. If anything is missing, inform the supplier/manufacturer.

Start the engine before loading. Check if the interface displays functions correctly, if key controls are correct, and if the vehicle interface has any scratches. Please provide feedback to the supplier/manufacturer if there are any questions.

Please note that disassembled automotive components should be placed carefully during the installation process to avoid scratching the instrument panel. Leftover connecting cables need to be managed, and DO NOT leave them in the car. The connecting plug must be insulated to prevent short circuits.

Cables should be connected properly. Vehicle installation space is limited, so reduce space usage as much as possible. Plan cable connections carefully to avoid affecting active components like steering wheel controls, throttle, and brake pedals. Cables need to be fastened after connection in case of drops.
