Operational Warnings
For Vehicles With An Air Bag

can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling
areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, and areas where, the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust or metal powders. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres are often, but not always posted.

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your
radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area,
or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and
instructions.
For radios installed in vehicles fueled by liquefied petroleum gas,
refer to the local standard for storage, handling, and/or container
information.
