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 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.
