Precautions about driving
Always pay attention to the surrounding conditions such as other cars and pedestrians, and try to drive
safely.
Never drive under the influence of alcohol. Drinking alcohol can diminish your attention and
judgment and can lead to unexpected accidents. Also, refrain from driving when taking medicine
that may cause drowsiness.
Do not use your mobile phone or adjust the device while driving. It is very dangerous
because you will not be careful about the surrounding conditions. It is prohibited by law to
use a non‑hands‑free car phone or mobile phone while driving.
