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.

is moving. They work only when the vehicle stops. Park your vehicle 
in a safe location before using any of them.
