NOTE

If the faceplate bracket's angle was not set to the vertical when the faceplate was mounted, check that the faceplate is securely attached to the faceplate bracket by holding its right side and pulling it gently towards you.

Forced ClosingThis function prevents tampering with the unit your car is being serviced etc.

Hiding the unit with the ignition turned on (forced closing): Hold down the SRC button for one second or more.

The faceplate will slide open. When the period of time which you have set in the "Time setting for removing the faceplate" in the menu has passed, the faceplate automatically reverses to hide the control panel. However, you can remove the faceplate during that period. For details, refer to the "Removing the faceplate" (page 14).

NOTE

When the closing faceplate is hit by an object, the unit will turn off without the faceplate closing all the way. Remove the object and press the SRC button to turn the unit back on, then turn it off again to make it close properly.

Whilst the control panel is moving, pressing the buttons will not have any effect. Do not try to press the buttons on the control panel as the faceplate is moving, as excessive force may damage the unit.

During the forced closing of the unit (i.e., having the unit left closed whilst ignition is turned on), the faceplate will not open no matter how often the ignition is turned on or off, unless "Manual Open button" at the rear of the faceplate is pressed in

order to open it. You can prevent tampering of the unit when letting someone else drive your car by keeping it closed this way.

To cancel the forced closing of unit and open control panel: Press the left part at the upper side of the faceplate for as many times as you have preset in the "Manual Open Button Setting" (OPEN SW #) in the menu. The faceplate will open and show the control panel.

NOTE

When you set the Manual Open Button setting to 2 or 3, press the upper left part of the faceplate without pausing. If you do not press that part without pausing, the command cannot be verified correctly.
