This function prevents tampering with the unit your car is
being serviced etc.
Hiding the unit with the ignition turned on (forced closing):
Hold down the SRC button for one second or more.
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 12).
• 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.
• 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
"Manual Open button" 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 forced closing of unit and open control panel:
Press the left part at the upper side of the faceplate for as
many times as you have preset in the "Manual Open Button
Setting" (OPEN SW #) in the menu. The faceplate will open and
show the control panel.
When you set the Manual Open Button setting to 2 or 3, press
the upper left part of the faceplate without pausing. If you do not
press that part without pausing, the command cannot be verified
correctly.
