1. Turn off all headlights and interior lights.

It is also considerate to cover the instrument panel, black box, and navigation system with a blanket.

2. Do not move the vehicle during viewing.

Moving the vehicle obstructs the view of others, so please follow the staff's instructions without moving your seat.

3. Use the restroom and get snacks before viewing.

Moving during viewing can be disruptive to other viewers.

4. Be careful of car battery discharge.

The ON/OFF rules for the engine vary from theater to theater, so adjustment is necessary depending on the weather and situation.
