If the vehicle is fitted with a suitable hands-free device, it will comply with the 
legislation in many countries which only permits the use of mobile phones 
inside vehicles using a hands-free device.
The hands-free system mounted at the factory has been designed for use with 
conventional mobile phones and phones with Bluetooth technology. Mobile 
phones should be placed on a suitable phone cradle. In addition, the cradle 
should always be correctly fitted into the base plate. This ensures that the 
mobile phone is securely fastened to the instrument panel and connected to 
the exterior aerial of the vehicle.
If the mobile phone is connected to an aerial incorporated into the vehicle or 
an exterior aerial connected to the vehicle, this will help to reduce the elec-
tromagnetic radiation transmitted and the risk to human health. It will also 
improve the quality of the connection.
If the phone is used inside the vehicle without the hands-free system, it will 
not be securely fastened and will not be connected to the exterior aerial of the 
vehicle telephone. Nor will the telephone charge if it is not on the support. In 
addition, some calls may break off and the quality of the connection will be 
affected.
Mobile phones should only be used inside the vehicle if they are connected 
to a hands-free system with an exterior aerial.
WARNING
If the mobile phone is not securely fastened in position, it could be sent 
flying around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking, sudden manoeuvres 
or accident, causing injury.
 xWhile driving, mobile phones must be securely fastened in position, 
outside the radius of action of the airbags, or safely stowed away.
WARNING
When using a mobile phone without a connection to an exterior aerial, the 
maximum permitted levels of electromagnetic radiation may be exceeded. 
This is also the case if the aerial has not been correctly installed.
 xA minimum of 20 centimetres should be kept between mobile phone 
aerials and artificial pacemakers, as mobile telephones may affect the 
working of pacemakers.
 xDo not carry a mobile phone in your breast pocket directly over the 
pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
 xIf you suspect interference, switch the mobile phone off immediately.
