To help minimize driver distraction, some audio system functionalities have been modified while the vehicle is in Drive, Reverse or moved out of Park.

•Volume level between different audio modes:– When switching between audio modes (AM, FM, Bluetooth® Audio, etc.), the audio system saves the previous volume level you were listening to. For example, if you were listening to FM radio at volume level 20 then switched to BT Audio and adjusted the volume level to 30, the volume level will be at 20 when you switch back to FM radio– When using Bluetooth® Audio, the overall volume is dependent on your device’s volume. If the volume is turned down low on your device it will remain low even if the system volume is turned up •When connected to Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay® on your smartphone, the smartphone’s navigation system may also be available •A warning screen may appear periodically to remind users that the audio system should be operated when the engine is running to prevent battery discharge •Prolonged use of the audio control unit in ACC mode may drain the vehicle’s battery
