Turning the system on or off


The following explains how to turn the system on or off.

Turning on the system

  1. To turn on the system, start the engine.
  1. When the safety warning appears, read it and press Confirm.
  1. To change the system language, press Language.
Warning
  • Some functions may be disabled for safety reasons while the vehicle is moving. They work only when the vehicle stops. Park your vehicle in a safe location before using any of them. In a manual transmission vehicle, apply the parking brake to use the functions. In an automatic transmission vehicle, shift to ″P″ (Park) or apply the parking brake.
  • Stop using the system if it malfunctions, such as no audio output or display. If you continue using the system when it is malfunctioning, it may lead to a fire, electric shock, or system failure.
Caution
  • You can turn on the system when the key ignition switch is placed in the ″ACC″ or ″ON″ position. Using the system for an extended period without the engine running drains the battery. If you plan on using the system for a long time, start the engine.
  • If you turn on your system without starting the engine, a battery warning will appear. Once the engine starts, the battery warning will disappear.
Note
To avoid having audio play at an excessive volume when you start the engine, adjust the volume level before stopping the engine. You can also set the system to decrease the volume level automatically. On the Home screen, press All menus > Settings > Sound > Volume ratio, System volumes or Premium sound and activate the Volume limitation on startup option.

Turning off the system

If you do not want to use the system while driving, press and hold the Power button on the control panel.
  • The screen and the sound will turn off.
  • To use the system again, press the Power button.
After you have turned off the engine, the system will automatically turn off after a while or as soon as you open the driver's door.
  • Depending on the vehicle model or specifications, the system may turn off as soon as you turn off the engine.
