obstruct the driver’s view and lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury. ●
Do not continuously look at the head-up di splay while driving as you may fail to see

closed area such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO)
may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
