Handheld devices, other equipment or vehicle systems which take the driver’s eyes, attention and focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or that are not permissible by law, should never be used during operation of the vehicle.
Safety Features: No system, no matter how advanced, can compensate for all driver error and/or driving conditions. Always drive safely.
