® HFP allows you to make
hands-free calls, if you choose to use the cellular
phone while driving, you must not allow that usage
to distract you in the safe operation of your vehicle.

tracts you from the safe operation of your vehicle
increases your risk of an accident. Refer to and fol-
low all state and local laws in your area regarding
