Operation of mobile phones and
two-way radios
Risk of accident
The operation of mobile phones, two-way
radios and fax machines without an external
aerial in the vehicle interior may cause mal-
functions in the vehicle electronics.
This would jeopardise the operating and
road safety of your vehicle.
You could cause an accident and endanger
or injure yourself or others as a result.
Risk of accident
To reduce the risk of an accident, only use
G
mobile phones and other equipment when
road and traffic conditions permit.
Only make a telephone call using a per-
manently installed hands-free device
Only use the two-way radio with hands-
free facility for radio operation
You could otherwise be distracted from the
traffic conditions.
Remember that at a speed of just 30 mph
(50 km/h), your vehicle is covering a dis-
tance of around 50 feet (14 m) every sec-
ond.

G
In the Federal Republic of Germany, it is
forbidden to use a mobile phone while
driving and when the vehicle's engine is
running unless the vehicle has a perma-
nently-installed hands-free facility.
Observe the legal requirements in all
countries concerned.

Do not place bank cards, credit cards or
other cards with magnetic strips in the
vicinity of the telephone bracket and

ment could delete or corrupt the data
