WARNING
If you operate mobile communication equip-
ment while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate this equipment when the vehicle
is stationary.
If you make a call on your mobile phone while
driving, always use hands-free mode. Only use
the mobile phone when road, weather and traffic
conditions permit. Some jurisdictions prohibit
the driver from using a mobile phone while driv-
ing a vehicle.
Bear in mind that at a speed of 30 mph (approx-
imately 50 km/h), the vehicle covers a distance
of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) per second.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and the health
of others.
There is scientific discussion surrounding the
possible health risks posed by electromagnetic
fields. You can reduce this risk by using an exte-
rior antenna.
Therefore, connect your mobile communica-
tions equipment to the vehicle's exterior
antenna wherever possible.
