\334Warning
\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 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.
\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.
\335 Caution
\225You can turn on the system when the key ignition switch is placed in
the ″ACC″ or ″ON″ position. Using the system for an extended period
without the engine running drains the battery. If you plan on using
the system for a long time, start the engine.
\225If you turn on your system without starting the engine, a battery
warning will appear. Once the engine starts, the battery warning will
disappear.
