 \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.
 \225Park your vehicle in a safe location before connecting any Bluetooth 
devices. Distracted driving can cause a traffic accident and lead to 
personal injury or death.
 \225Never dial a phone number or pick up your mobile phone while 
driving. Use of a mobile phone may distract your attention, making 
it difficult to recognize external conditions and reducing the ability to 
cope with unexpected situations, which may lead to an accident.
