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
When kept in the vehicle, this guide will be a ready reference for you and other users
unfamiliar with the system. Ensure that before using the system for the first time, all persons
have access to this guide and read its instructions and safety information carefully.
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 driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe
and legal manner before 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.
General operation
Voice command control
Features within the system may be executed using only voice commands. Using voice
commands while driving allows you to operate the system without removing your hands
from the steering wheel.
Prolonged views of screen
Do not access any function requiring a prolonged view of the screen while you are driving.
Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system
requiring prolonged attention. Even short views of the screen may be hazardous if your
attention has been diverted away from your driving.
Volume setting
Do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear
outside traffic and emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable to hear these
sounds could cause an accident.
