*For safety....

Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.

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.
