Choose the installation location carefully so that the 
unit will not interfere with normal driving operations.
Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust, dirt, 
excessive vibration, or high temperature, such as in 
direct sunlight or near heater ducts.
Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a saf e 
and secure installation.
To move the front panel smoothly, to insert/eject a 
disc easily, and especially to drive safely, keep an 
adequate distance between the front panel and the 
shift lever. The necessar y distance differs, depending 
on the shift lever position of your car. Before 
installing the unit, choose the installation location 
carefully so that you can drive safely. ( see fig.  

.)

Adjust the mounting angle to less than 45°.

XAV-602BT is the model used f or illustration purposes, 
unless otherwise noted.

Be sure to connect the parking brake lead (light green) 
of the power supply connection cable 

 to the 

parking brake switch cord.

Caution
Handle the bracket 

 carefully to avoid injuring your 

fingers.

Note
The form of the frame and loc ation of the catch may diff er depending 
on the model.

You can adjust the projecting part of the unit when 
the unit is mounted.

If you secure the frames 

 with the screw holes 

 (default 

position), it will maximize the projecting part of the unit. On the 
other hand, screw holes 

 will minimize the projecting part.

Choose the same scr ew hole position on both frames.
If you intend to secure the frames with scr ew holes 

 or 

, make 

sure that there is enough spac e in the dashboard of your car for the 
unit.

Note
If the catches are straight or bent outwards, the unit will not be 
installed securely and may spring out.

You may be able to install this unit in some mak es of 
Japanese cars without the supplied bracket. If you 
cannot, consult your Sony dealer.

When mounting this unit to the preinstalled brackets 
of your car, use the supplied screws 

 in the 

appropriate screw holes, based on your c ar: T for 
TOYOTA, M for MITSUBISHI and N for NISSAN.

To avoid a malfunction, install only with the supplied screws 

.

Do not apply excessive force to the buttons of the unit.
Do not press on the LCD.
Before mounting, make sure there is nothing on the top of the unit.

Be sure to set the Auto OFF function. For details, refer 
to the supplied “Operating Instructions.”
The unit will shut off completely and automatically in 
the set time when no sour ce is selected, which 
prevents battery drainage.
If the Auto OFF function has not been set, press and 
hold OFF until the display disappears each time you 
turn the ignition off.

When the installation and connections are completed, 
be sure to press the reset button, which is located 
behind the front panel, with a ballpoint pen, etc.

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one matching 
the amperage  rating stated on the original fuse. If the 
fuse blows,  check the power connection and replace 
the fuse. If the fuse blows again after r eplacement, 
there may be an internal malfunction. In such a case , 
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
