WARNING
Phoning and operating phone control while
driving can distract from traffic conditions
and result in accidents.
● Always drive attentively and
responsibly.
● Select loudspeaker levels so that
acoustic signals from outside can be heard
well at any time, e. g., the siren of rescue
services.
● In areas of no or deficient cellphone
network supply and possibly in tunnels,
garages and undergrounds passageways, a
phone call might be interrupted and it might
be impossible to reestablish connection –
including any emergency calls!
WARNING
An unattached or not correctly attached
cellphone can be thrown about the vehicle
interior at a sudden braking maneuver or
accident and cause injuries.
● Remove or stow securely cellphones
,
o
ther devices such as phone accessories, e.
g., phone cradles, notepads, portable
infotainment systems, during a trip properly
and outside of the inflation areas of airbags.
WARNING
At operation of a cellphone or radio device
without connection to an external antenna, the
limiting value for electromagnetic radiation can
be exceeded in the vehicle and consequently
endanger the health of driver and passengers.
This also applies if an exterior antenna is not
installed properly.
● Keep a minimum distance of 20
centimeters between antenna of a cellphone
and an active medical implant, e.g., a cardiac
pacemaker, because cellphones can
negatively influence the function of active
medical implants.
● Do not keep a cellphone directly adjacent
to an active medical implant or directly above
it, e.g., in your chest pocket.
● If you suspect that a cellphone is interring
with an active medical implant or other
medical device, switch it off immediately.
WARNING
An open armrest can hinder the freedom of
movement of a driver and consequently cause
accidents and severe injuries.
● Always keep armrests closed during rides.
