NAVIGATION SYSTEM / MULTI INFORMATION SYSTEM


  1. OUTLINE


    1. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are used to provide mercury-free backlighting for the multi-display. This reduces the burden on the environment and ensures brightness.

    2. The multi-display is provided at the same height as the combination meter assembly to minimize changes in the driver's line of sight and ensure visibility while driving.

    3. Due to the change in the multi-display location, the remote touch is used to ensure operability.
