Note: Choosing to engage in extended searching for specific audio stations or songs by using buttons and knobs — or giving extended attention to enter- tainment tasks — can lead you to look away from the road frequently or longer than usual. Looking away from the road for prolonged periods may cause you to miss seeing things on the road that you need to see. Be sure to keep your eyes on the road and mind on the drive — and avoid engaging in extended search- ing for specific items while driving.
