hicle. Whether or not prohibited by law, for

cellular telephone while the vehicle is in mo-
tion. Stop the vehicle in a safe location be-
fore answering or placing a call.

phone while driving, please use the hands-
free device and be sure to pay attention to
the traffic situation at all times. Use the cel-
lular phone

traffic conditions permit.
Never operate radio transmitters equipped
with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e.
without being connected to an external an-
tenna) from inside the vehicle while the en-
gine is running. Doing so could lead to
malfunction of the vehicle’s electronic sys-
tems, possibly resulting in an accident and
personal injury.

phone or a citizens band unit should only be
used inside the vehicle if they are connected
to a separate exterior antenna that has been
approved by Mercedes-Benz.
