Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from

reasons, the driver should not use the
cellular telephone while the vehicle is in
motion. Stop the vehicle in a safe location
before placing or answering a call.
If you nonetheless choose to use the mobile
phone while driving, please use the
handsfree feature and be sure to pay
attention to the traffic situation at all times.
Use the mobile phone only when road,
weather and traffic conditions permit.
Otherwise, you may not be able to observe
traffic conditions and could endanger
yourself and others.

(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is

Never operate radio transmitters equipped
with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e.
