If you are driving beneath the top level of a multi-level freeway.
If you drive under a bridge.
If you are driving next to a tall vechi- cle(such as a truck or a bus) that block
the signal.
If you are driving in a valley where the surrounding hills or peaks block the sig-

where is blocked by mountains.
If you are driving in an area with tall trees that block the signal(10m or

that something is wrong with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cellu-

We recommend that you never use
a cell phone while driving. This
could result in loss of control, and
an accident that may cause death,
serious injury, or property damage.
You must stop at a safe place to use
a cellular phone.
