\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.
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.
\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.
