with the features.
{Warning
Taking your eyes off the road for too
long or too often while using any
infotainment feature can cause a crash.

infotainment tasks while driving. Limit
your glances at the vehicle displays and
focus your attention on driving. Use voice
commands whenever possible.
The infotainment system has built-in
