 \334Warning
 0024Driving 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.
 0024Some functions may be disabled for safety reasons while the vehicle is moving. They work 
only when the vehicle stops. Park your vehicle in a safe location before using any of them. 
In a manual transmission vehicle, apply the parking brake to use the functions. In an 
automatic transmission vehicle, shift to "P" (Park) or apply the parking brake.
 0024Stop using the system if it malfunctions, such as no audio output or dis\
play. If you 
continue using the system when it is malfunctioning, it may lead to a fi\
re, electric shock, or 
system failure.
 \335Caution
 0024You can turn on the system when the key ignition switch is placed in the "ACC" or "ON" 
position. Using the system for an extended period without the engine running drains the 
battery. If you plan on using the system for a long time, start the engine.
 0024If you turn on your system without starting the engine, a battery warnin\
g will appear.
