features intended to help keep
your eyes on the road and mind on
the drive. A few features may be
disabled while driving. Note that
these functions will be grayed-out.

not available when the vehicle is
moving. All functions are available when the
vehicle is parked. Do the following
before driving: .
Become familiar with the
navigation system operation,
buttons on the faceplate, and
touch-sensitive screen buttons
of the navigation system. .

favorite stations, setting the
tone, and adjusting the
speakers. .
Set up the navigation features
before beginning driving, such
as entering an address or a
preset destination. .

in advance so they can be
called easily with the press
of a single button or a single
voice command (for navigation
systems equipped with phone
capability). { WARNINGTaking your eyes off the road too
long or too often while using the
navigation system could cause a
crash resulting in injury or death
to you or others. Focus your
attention on driving.
{ WARNINGAvoid looking too long or too
often at the moving map on the
navigation screen. This could
cause a crash and you or others
can be injured or killed. Use the
