Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems
in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (antilock)
braking systems, electronic speed control systems, and air bag systems. For more

is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or
explosive materials in the same compartment as the device, its parts, or enhancements.

the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
