to find out when your vehicle is next due for
maintenance service, to call up statistical
data on your vehicle, and much more. G

A driver’s attention to the road and traffic
conditions must always be his/her primary
focus when driving.
For your safety and the safety of others,
selecting features through the multifunction

it to be done safely.
