Distraction comes in many forms and can take your focus from the task of driving. Exercise good judgment and do not let other activities divert your attention away from the road. Many local governments have enacted laws regarding driver distraction. Become familiar with the local laws in your area.
To avoid distracted driving, always keep your eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, and mind on the drive.
Use a hands-free method to place or receive necessary phone calls.
Program all trip information into any navigation device prior to driving.
Warning
Taking your eyes off the road too long or too often could cause a crash resulting in injury or death.
Focus your attention on driving.
Refer to the Infotainment section for more information on using that system, including pairing and using a cell phone.
