Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from
using a mobile telephone while driving.
Whether or not prohibited by law, for safety
reasons, the driver should not use the mo-
bile 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 hands-
free feature and be sure to pay attention to
the traffic situation at all times. Use the mo-
bile phone only when road, weather and traf-
fic conditions permit. Otherwise, you may
not be able to observe traffic conditions and
could endanger yourself and others.

sibly resulting in an accident and/or
personal injury.i
Various mobile phone cradles can be in-
stalled in the front center armrest, see separate
