phone if road, weather and traffic condi-
tions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approx-
imately 14 m) every second.
Telephones and two-way radios
G WARNING
Never operate radio transmitters equipped
with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e.
without being connected to an external
antenna) from inside the vehicle while the
drive system is switched on. Doing so could
lead to a malfunction of the vehicle's elec-
tronic system, possibly resulting in an
accident and/or serious personal injury.
Radio transmitters, such as a mobile phone
or a citizens band unit should only be used
inside the vehicle if they are connected to
an antenna that is installed on the outside
of the vehicle.
Refer to the radio transmitter operation
instructions regarding use of an external
antenna.

Coolant temperature

During severe operating conditions and
stop-and-go city traffic, the coolant tem-
perature may rise.
! Excessive coolant temperature causes
the red coolant temperature warning
lamp ? in the instrument cluster to
come on.
The drive system should not be operated
with the red coolant temperature warn-
ing lamp ? illuminated. Doing so may
cause serious damage to the drive system
and the high-voltage battery, which is
not covered by the smart Limited War-
ranty.
