Operating Tips for Audio
System
Do Not Adjust Audio While Driving
the Vehicle:
Adjusting the audio while driving the
vehicle is dangerous as it could
distract your attention from the
vehicle operation which could lead to
a serious accident. Always adjust the
audio while the vehicle is stopped.
For the purposes of safe driving, adjust
the audio volume to a level that allows
you to hear sounds outside of the
vehicle.
NOTE
•Do not use the audio for long
periods of time while the engine is
off. Otherwise the battery could go
dead.
•If a digital cellular phone or CB
radio is used in or near the vehicle,
it could cause noise to occur from
the audio system, however, this does
not indicate that the system has
been damaged.
