3.5 Using parking mode
When the product is connected to the vehicle via the hardwiring cable, the operating mode is switched to
parking mode after the engine or electrical accessories are turned off and the voice guide will indicate that
the parking mode has started.
• Parking mode operates only when the hardwiring cable is connected. The hardwiring cable must be
professionally installed to the vehicle by an Alpine authorized dealer/a trained specialist mechanic.
• To use all recording modes, you must insert a memory card into the product.
• Depending on the battery charging status of the vehicle, the duration of parking mode may differ. If you
want to use parking mode for an extended period, check the battery level to prevent battery depletion.
Refer to the following table to set the parking mode options.
