To activate your auxiliary devices:
To watch a video source, your vehicle must be parked
with the ignition key in the ACC or ON position. To do
this, follow the procedure below.
1. Bring your vehicle to a complete stop at a safe
location. Engage the parking brake.
2. Keep pushing the foot brake and release the
parking brake once then engage it again.
3. When the parking brake is engaged for the second
time, release the foot brake.
• For automatic transmission vehicles, place the
transmission lever in the Park position.
Now, the locking system for the AUX mode operation
has been released. Engaging the parking brake can
reactivate the AUX mode, as long as the car's ignition
has not been turned off. It is not necessary to repeat
the above procedure (1 through 3), of "To activate your
auxiliary devices."
Each time the ignition is turned OFF, perform the
procedure of "To activate your auxiliary devices."
• If you try to activate the auxiliary device while driving,
the display will show the warning-PICTURE OFF FOR
YOUR SAFETY.

WARNING
It is dangerous (and illegal in many states) for the
driver to watch the TV while driving the vehicle. The
driver may be distracted from looking ahead and
an accident could occur.
Install the VPA-B211A correctly so that the driver
cannot watch TV unless the vehicle is stopped and
the emergency brake is applied.
If the VPA-B211A is not installed correctly, the driver
will be able to watch the TV while driving the
vehicle and may be distracted from looking ahead
and cause an accident. The driver or other people
could be severely injured.
