Before using this product, be sure to read and fully understand the following safety 
information:
•Do not operate this product, any applications, or the rear view camera option (if 
purchased) if doing so will divert your attention in any way from the safe operation of 
your vehicle. Always observe safe driving rules and follow all existing traffic 
regulations. If you experience difficulty in operating this product, pull over, park your 
vehicle in a safe location and apply the parking brake before making the necessary 
adjustments.
•Never set the volume of this product so high that you cannot hear outside traffic and 
emergency vehicles.
•To promote safety, certain functions are disabled unless the vehicle is stopped and the 
parking brake is applied.
•Keep this manual handy as a reference for operating procedures and safety 
information.
•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.
Parking brake interlock
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.

place for your protection. Tampering with or disabling the parking brake interlock system 
could result in serious injury or death.

product is not for use with a video image that is visible to the driver.

video source while driving is strictly prohibited.” will appear on the screen. To watch
