audio system, you can use it with less effort, as
well as take advantage of its features. While your
vehicle is parked, set up your audio system by

tone, and adjusting the speakers. Then, when
driving conditions permit, you can tune to
your favorite stations using the presets and
steering wheel controls if the vehicle has them.{CAUTION:

Always keep your eyes on the road and
your mind on the drive — avoid engaging
