video media or make any adjustments to the system. Enjoy your enter-
tainment system but always remember the safety of all passengers is
the number one priority.

equipped with a television viewer or screen that is located in the motor
vehicle at any point forward of the back of the driver’s seat, or that is
visible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the vehicle. In
the interest of safety, this system should never be installed where it will
be visible, directly or indirectly, by the operator of the motor vehicle.

ings; do not spill or spray liquid on or into the system (this may
result in a fire or electric shock). Do not place heavy objects on the
unit. To ensure proper ventilation and proper operation, never cover
or block the slots and openings.

shock and/or exposure to Laser Radiation. Contact qualified ser-
vice personnel if your system is in need of repair.
