2.TV broadcast reception

When receiving TV broadcasts, the strength of the signals changes since the car is moving, so receiving a clear picture may be impossible in some cases.

If the reception is poor, switch to a station with good reception.

Bear this point in mind when selecting the screen mode.

To ensure driving safety the TV video images are only shown when the car is stopped (parking brake engaged). Always make sure the vehicle is stopped before watching the TV.
