ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
RADIO
TRANSMITTERS AND
CELLULAR
TELEPHONES
Cellphones and other radio trans-
mitters (e.g. CB radios) cannot be
used inside the vehicle, unless you
use a separate aerial mounted out-
side the vehicle.
IMPORTANTThe use of cell-
phones, CB radios or similar inside
the passenger compartment (with-
out an outside aerial) produces elec-
tromagnetic RF fields; if these are
amplified by the resonance inside the
passenger compartment, they may
not only result in a potential health
hazard, or poor functioning of the
electronic systems fitted to the vehi-
cle, but also put the safety of your
vehicle in jeopardy.
The transmission and reception
efficiency of this equipment may also
be affected by the shielding effect of
the vehicle's body.
