give extended attention to
infotainment tasks while driving.

displays and focus your attention
on driving. Use voice commands
whenever possible. The infotainment system has built-in

wheel controls.

speakers.
.Set up phone numbers in
advance so they can be called
easily by pressing a single
button or by using a single voice
command if equipped with
Bluetooth phone capability.
