Stealth Retraction Mechanism
You can help prevent theft of the unit by reversing the
faceplate so that the control panel cannot be seen, hiding the
unit, and shutting off the audio.
Power ON/OFF:
When you turn your vehicle’s ignition on, the unit’s power will
also turn on, with the faceplate reversing to show the control
panel.
When you turn your vehicle’s ignition off, the faceplate will
reverse to hide the control panel, and the unit’s power will turn
off.
• When the moving faceplate is hit by an object, it will stop and
return to its original state. Remove the object and repeat the
action.
• The status of the Code Security Function (P.33) is displayed
whenever the power is switched on.
"CODE ON" (Code Security has been registered)
"CODE OFF" (Code Security has not been registered)
Using the Unit in Vehicles with Covered Consoles
• Make sure the console is uncovered whilst the faceplate is
reversed.
• Do not exert any excess force on the movable parts of the unit,
including the faceplate, as it can cause failure in the unit’s
mechanism.
Hiding the unit with the ignition turned on (forced closing):
Hold down the SRC button for one second or more.
The faceplate will reverse, hiding the unit. The unit will turn
off.
• 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.
NOTE
2CAUTION
NOTE
• 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 “the
touch-sensitive spot” 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 stealth retraction mechanism’s forced closing of
unit and open control panel:
Press “the touch-sensitive spot” at the rear of the faceplate.
(as illustrated)
Touch-sensitive spot
The invisible switch is hiding behind the touch-sensitive spot.
Press the hollow spot (invisible switch) to open.
