This function prevents tampering with the unit your car is
being serviced etc.
Hiding the unit with the ignition turned on (forced closing):
Press the SRC button for at least one second.
The faceplate will slide open. When the period of time which
you have set in the "Time setting for removing the faceplate" in
the menu has passed, the faceplate automatically reverses to
hide the control panel. However, you can remove the faceplate
during that period. For details, refer to the "Removing the
faceplate" (page 10).
• 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 have it close properly.
• Do not try to press the buttons on the control panel as the
faceplate is moving, as excessive force may damage the unit.
• During the forced closing of the unit (i.e., having the unit left
closed while ignition is turned on), the faceplate will not open
no matter how often the ignition is turned on or off.
You can prevent tampering of the unit when letting someone
else drive your car by keeping it closed this way.
To cancel the forced closing of unit and open control panel:
Press the left part at the upper side of the faceplate.
The faceplate will open and show the control panel.
NOTE
Forced Closing
• Do not apply excessive force to the faceplate under setting 2.
• The face plate angle cannot be adjusted during tape play.
