\335Warning
\225Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control
that may 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 not be active while driving to ensure
safety. Those functions run only when the vehicle is stationary.
In order to use them, first stop the vehicle.
\225When the screen is not displayed, the volume is muted, or
other system failures occur, immediately stop using the
system. When you use the faulty system continuously, it may
cause fire, electric shock, or fatal system failure.
\334Caution

in “ACC” or “ON.” However, when you use the system without
turning on the vehicle for a long time, it may cause battery
discharge. To use the system for a long time, be sure to turn
on the vehicle.

Important information
Before using your system, read and follow all instructions and
safety information provided in this user's guide ("User's Manual").
Not following precautions found in this guide can lead to an
accident or other serious consequences.
Keep this guide in your vehicle

for you and other users unfamiliar with the system. Ensure that

Warning
Operating certain parts of this system while driving can distract
your attention away from the road, and possibly cause an
accident or other serious consequences. Do not change system
settings or enter data non-verbally (using your hands) while

attempting these operations. This is important since setting up or
changing some functions as you drive may distract your attention
away from the road and removing your hands from the steering
wheel may cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
