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.

The infotainment system has built-in

features intended to help avoid

distraction by disabling some

functions when driving. These

functions may gray out when they

are unavailable. Many infotainment

features are also available through

the instrument cluster and steering

wheel controls.

Before driving:

.

Become familiar with the

operation, faceplate buttons, and

screen buttons.

.

Set up the audio by presetting

favorite stations, setting the

tone, and adjusting the

speakers.

.

Set up phone numbers in

advance so they can be called

easily by pressing a single

button or by using a single voice

command if equipped with

Bluetooth phone capability.

See Defensive Driving 0 218.

To play the infotainment system with

the ignition off, see Retained

Accessory Power (RAP) 0 232.
