WARNING
If you operate mobile communication equip-
ment while driving, you will be distracted from traffic conditions. You could also lose controlof the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate this equipment when the vehicleis stationary.
If you make a call on your mobile phone while
driving, always use hands-free mode. Only
use the mobile phone when road, weather
and traffic conditions permit. Some jurisdic-
tions prohibit the driver from using a mobile

a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m)
per second.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and the
health of others.
There is scientific discussion surrounding the possible health risks posed by electromag-
netic fields. You can reduce this risk by using
an exterior antenna.
Therefore, only use mobile communication
equipment if it is connected to the exterior
antenna of the vehicle. Introduction
