Vehicle Features
Infotainment System
Base radio information is included in
this manual. See the infotainment
manual for information on other
available infotainment systems.

could be injured or killed. Do not
give extended attention to
infotainment tasks while driving.
Limit your glances at the vehicle
displays and focus your attention
on driving. Use voice commands
whenever possible.

features intended to help avoid
distraction by disabling some functions when driving. These
functions may gray out when they

command if equipped with
Bluetooth phone capability.
. Set up your Bluetooth, CarPlay,
