WARninG: Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control,
accident and injury. Ford Motor Company strongly recommends that
drivers use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may
take their focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of the vehicle. We recommend against the use of any hand
held device while driving, encourage the use of voice-operated systems
when possible and that you become aware of applicable state and
local laws that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.
