Note: 

Engaging in extended searching

for specific audio stations or songs by
using buttons and knobs — or giving
extended attention to entertainment tasks
— can lead you to look away from the
road frequently or for prolonged periods,
which may cause you to miss seeing
things on the road that you need to see.
Avoid engaging in extended searching for
specific items while driving.
