Precaution
Important safety information
- 4 -
English
• Do not install this product where it may (i) obstruct the driver’s vision, (ii) impair the
performance of any of the vehicle’s operating systems or safety features, including air
bags or hazard lamp buttons or (iii) impair the driver’s ability to safely operate the
vehicle.
• Please remember to fasten your seat belt at all times while operating your vehicle. If
you are ever in an accident, your injuries can be considerably more severe if your seat
belt is not properly buckled.
• Never use headphones while driving.
• Rear visibility systems (backup cameras) are required in certain new vehicles sold in
the U.S. and Canada. U.S. regulations began according to a two year phase-in on May
1, 2016, and both the U.S. and Canada require that all such vehicles manufactured on
or after May 1, 2018 have rear visibility systems. Owners of vehicles equipped with
compliant rear visibility systems should not install or use this product in a way
that alters or disables that system's compliance with applicable regulations. If
you are unsure whether your vehicle has a rear visibility system subject to the U.S. or
Canadian regulations, please contact the vehicle manufacturer or dealer.
If your vehicle has a compliant backup camera that displays the backup view through
the factory receiver, do not use the Pioneer receiver unless it is connected to and
displays the same view as the factory backup camera. Connection to the factory
backup camera will require an adaptor, sold separately. Not all vehicles may be able to
connect. Please check with a qualified professional installer for installation options
specific to your vehicle.
Certain functions (such as viewing of video image and certain touch panel key
operations) offered by this product could be dangerous (possibly resulting in serious
injury or death) and/or unlawful if used while driving. To prevent such functions from
being used while the vehicle is in motion, there is an interlock system that senses when
the parking brake is set and when the vehicle is moving. If you attempt to use the
functions described above while driving, they will become disabled until you stop the
vehicle in a safe place, and (1) apply the parking brake, (2) release the parking brake, and
then (3) apply the parking brake again. Please keep the brake pedal pushed down
before releasing the parking brake.
WARNING
• LIGHT GREEN LEAD AT POWER CONNECTOR IS DESIGNED TO DETECT PARKED STATUS AND
MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE POWER SUPPLY SIDE OF THE PARKING BRAKE SWITCH.
IMPROPER CONNECTION OR USE OF THIS LEAD MAY VIOLATE APPLICABLE LAW AND MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE.

product is not for use with a video image that is visible to the driver.
• In some countries the viewing of video image on a display inside a vehicle even by persons other
than the driver may be illegal. Where such regulations apply, they must be obeyed.
If you attempt to watch video image while driving, the warning “Viewing of front seat
video source while driving is strictly prohibited.” will appear on the screen. To watch
video image on this display, stop the vehicle in a safe place and apply the parking brake.
Please keep the brake pedal pushed down before releasing the parking brake.
The video output terminal is for connection of a display to enable passengers in the rear
seats to watch video images.
WARNING
NEVER install the rear display in a location that enables the driver to watch video images while driving.
Be sure to run the vehicle engine while using this product. Using this product without
running the engine can drain the battery.

• At low temperatures, using the LED
backlight may increase image lag and
degrade the image quality because of the
characteristics of the LCD screen. Image
quality will improve with an increase in
temperature.
• The product lifetime of the LED backlight
is more than 10 000 hours. However, it
may decrease if used in high
temperatures.
• If the LED backlight reaches the end of its
product lifetime, the screen will become
dimmer and the image will no longer be
