distract your attention from the
vehicle operation which could lead to
a serious accident.
Even if the audio control switches are
equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking
down at them so that you can keep
your maximum attention on the road
while driving the vehicle.

adjust the audio volume to a level
that allows you to hear sounds
outside of the vehicle including car
horns and particularly emergency
vehicle sirens.

or near the vehicle, it could cause noise to
occur from the audio system, however, this
