lead to an accident, severe bodily
injury, or death. The driver′s primary
responsibility is the safe and legal
operation of the vehicle, and the use
of any vehicle systems, including
the touch screen and steering wheel
controls, which take the driver′s eyes,
attention, and focus away from the safe
operation of the vehicle, or which are
not permissible by law, should never be
used during the operation of the vehicle.
\225Some functions may be disabled for
safety reasons while the vehicle is
moving. They work only when the
vehicle stops. Park your vehicle in a safe
location before using any of them. In a
manual transmission vehicle, apply the
parking brake to use the functions. In an
automatic transmission vehicle, shift to
″P″ (Park) or apply the parking brake.
\225Stop using the system if it malfunctions,
such as no audio output or display. If
you continue using the system when it
is malfunctioning, it may lead to a fire,
electric shock, or system failure.
