provide quick access to several vehicle
features and settings. The touchscreen
provides easy interaction with your cellular
phone, multimedia, climate control and
navigation system. The corners display any

Some features are not available while
your vehicle is moving.

Home screen and Information screen by
pressing the Home ("house" icon) and
Information ("I" icon) buttons on your
steering wheel controls.

feature that allows you to access and
control audio features for 30 minutes after
you switch the ignition off (and no doors
open).
