How to read this manual:
• Illustrations of KW-V40BT are mainly used for explanation. The displays and panels shown in this manual
are examples used to provide clear explanations of the operations. For this reason, they may be different
from the actual displays or panels.
• This manual mainly explains operations using the buttons on the monitor panel and touch panel. For
operations using the remote controller (RM-RK256: supplied only for KW-V40BT), see page 42.
• < > indicates the various screens/menus/operations/settings that appear on the touch panel.
• [ ] indicates the buttons on the touch panel.
• Indication language: English indications are used for the purpose of explanation. You can select the
indication language from the <Settings> menu. (Page41)
BEFORE USEBEFORE USE
VWARNINGS: (To prevent accidents and
damage)
• DO NOT install any unit or wire any cable in a
location where;
– it may obstruct the steering wheel and gearshift
lever operations.
– it may obstruct the operation of safety devices
such as air bags.
– it may obstruct visibility.
• DO NOT operate the unit while driving.
If you need to operate the unit while driving, be
sure to look around carefully.
• The driver must not watch the monitor while
driving.

The marking of products using lasers
The label is attached to the chassis/case and says
that the component uses laser beams that have
been classified as Class 1. It means that the unit is
utilizing laser beams that are of a weaker class. There
is no danger of hazardous radiation outside the unit.
VCautions on the monitor:
• The monitor built into this unit has been
produced with high precision, but it may have
some ineffective dots. This is inevitable and is not
considered defective.
• Do not expose the monitor to direct sunlight.
• Do not operate the touch panel using a ball-point
pen or similar tool with a sharp tip.
Touch the buttons on the touch panel with your
finger directly (if you are wearing a glove, take it
off).
• When the temperature is very cold or very hot...
– Chemical changes occur inside, causing
malfunction.
– Pictures may not appear clearly or may move
slowly. Pictures may not be synchronized with
the sound or picture quality may decline in such
environments.
For safety...
• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this
will make driving dangerous by blocking outside
sounds, and may cause hearing loss.
• Stop the car before performing any complicated
operations.
Temperature inside the car...
If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or
cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car
becomes normal before operating the unit.
