Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that may lead to an accident, severe bodily injury, and death. The driver’s primary responsibility is in the safe and legal operation of a vehicle, and any handheld devices, other equipment, or vehicle systems which take the driver’s eyes, attention and focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or which are not permissible by law should never be used during operation of the vehicle.

Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® run on your smartphone cellular data service. Normal data rates will apply. Refer to the Car Infotainment System Quick Reference Guide for more information.
