drive or ride. Be careful and attentive while driving or riding a bicycle. If you
decide to use iPhone while driving, keep in mind the following guidelines:
1
Give full attention to driving or riding and to the road. Â
Using a mobile device while driving or riding may be distracting. If you
nd it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle, riding
a bicycle, or performing any activity that requires your full attention,
pull o the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions require.
Get to know iPhone and its features such as favorites, recents, and
Â
speakerphone.
These features help you to place your call without taking your attention o
the road. See the iPhone User Guide for more information.
Use a hands-free device.
Â
Add an extra layer of convenience and safety to your iPhone with one of
the many hands-free accessories available.
Position iPhone within easy reach.
Â
Keep your eyes on the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient
time, let your voicemail answer it for you.
Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary.
Â
Assess the trac before dialing, or place calls when you are not moving or
before pulling into trac.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving.
Â
If necessary, suspend the call in heavy trac or hazardous weather
conditions. Driving in rain, sleet, snow, ice, fog, and even heavy trac can
be hazardous.
Do not text, email, take notes, look up phone numbers, or perform any
Â
other activities that require your attention while driving.
Composing or reading texts and emails, jotting down a to-do list, or
ipping through your address book takes attention away from your
primary responsibility, driving safely.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that
Â
may be distracting.
Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend
conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from
the road.
Navigating Safely If your iPhone has applications that provide maps,
directions or location-based navigation assistance, these applications should
only be used for basic navigation assistance and should not be relied on to
determine precise locations, proximity, distance, or direction.
Maps, directions, and location-based applications provided by Apple depend
on data collected and services provided by third parties. These data services
are subject to change and may not be available in all geographic areas,
resulting in maps, directions or location-based information that may be
unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete. Compare the information provided
on iPhone to your surroundings and defer to posted signs to resolve any
discrepancies.
