 \335Warning
 \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 not be active while driving to ensure safety. Those functions run only 
when the vehicle is stationary. In order to use them, first stop the vehicle.
 \225When the screen is not displayed, the volume is muted, or other system failures occur, 
immediately stop using the system. When you use the faulty system contin\
uously, it may 
cause fire, electric shock, or fatal system failure.
