Be sure to remove the anti-theft face
cover when you drive. Otherwise the
face cover may fall off the unit and
interfere safe operation of the vehicle.
Operation of some of the functions of
this unit is very complex. Because of
this, it was deemed necessary to
place these functions into a special
SET UP screen. This will restrict
operation of these functions to times
when the vehicle is parked. This
ensures the focus of the driver's
attention will be on the road and not
on the CVA-1000E. This has been
done for the safety of the driver and
passengers.
Whenever reference to the SET UP
menu is made in this Owner's Manual,
be advised that the car must be
parked for the procedure described to
be valid. If the car is moving, the
warning "CAN'T OPERATE WHILE
DRIVING." will be displayed after
pressing the SET UP button.
In addition to the SET UP button, the
SOURCE button operation is also
slightly changed to simplify use while
driving. Pressing the SOURCE button
while driving will immediately change
the audio source without having to
make a selection from the SOURCE
Select menu. This operation is the
same as when selecting sources
using the remote control (RUE-4160).
When the car is parked, the selection
is made as described in the Owner's
Manual.
