Using the LCD screen 

correctly

Handling the LCD screen

When the LCD screen is subjected to direct 
sunlight for a long period of time, it will 
become very hot, resulting in possible 
damage to the LCD screen. When not 
using this navigation system, avoid 
exposing it to direct sunlight as much as 
possible.

The LCD screen should be used within the 
temperature ranges shown in 
“Specifications” on page 126.

Do not use the LCD screen at temperatures 
higher or lower than the operating 
temperature range, because the LCD 
screen may not operate normally and could 
be damaged.

The LCD screen is exposed in order to 
increase its visibility within the vehicle. 
Please do not press strongly on it as this 
may damage it.

Do not push the LCD screen with excessive 
force as this may scratch it.

Never touch the LCD screen with anything 
besides your finger when operating the 
touch panel functions. The LCD screen can 
scratch easily.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) screen

If the LCD screen is near the vent of an air 
conditioner, make sure that air from the air 
conditioner is not blowing on it. Heat from 
the heater may break the LCD screen, and 
cool air from the cooler may cause moisture 
to form inside the navigation unit, resulting 
in possible damage.

Small black dots or white dots (bright dots) 
may appear on the LCD screen. These are 
due to the characteristics of the LCD screen 
and do not indicate a malfunction.

The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is 
exposed to direct sunlight.

When using a mobile phone, keep the 
aerial of the mobile phone away from the 
LCD screen to prevent disruption of the 
video in the form of disturbances such as 
spots or coloured stripes.

Maintaining the LCD screen

When removing dust from the LCD screen 
or cleaning it, first turn the system power 
off, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.

When wiping the LCD screen, take care not 
to scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or 
abrasive chemical cleaners.

LED (light-emitting diode) backlight

A light emitting diode is used inside the 
display to illuminate the LCD screen.

At low temperatures, using the LED 
backlight may increase image lag and 
degrade the image quality because of the 
characteristics of the LCD screen. Image 
quality will improve with an increase in 
temperature.

The product lifetime of the LED backlight is 
more than 10 000 hours. However, it may 
decrease if used in high temperatures.

If the LED backlight reaches the end of its 
product lifetime, the screen will become 
dimmer and the image will no longer be 
visible. In that case, please consult your 
dealer or the nearest authorised Pioneer 
Service Station.
