Warning
G
You must observe the legal requirements for 
the country in which you are driving when 
operating a cell phone in the vehicle.
If it is permitted to operate a cell phone 
while the vehicle is in motion, you must only 
operate it when road and traffic conditions 
permit. You may otherwise be distracted 
from the traffic conditions, cause an acci-
dent and injure yourself and others.
Cell phones without exterior antennas may 
interfere with the vehicle electronics and 
thereby jeopardize the operational safety of 
the vehicle. You must therefore only use 
these devices when they are connected to a 
separate exterior antenna.
