A mobile phone on the seat, instrument panel or in other places can be thrown around the inside of the vehicle during a sudden braking maneuver, a crash or other accident and injure vehicle occupants.
x Never attach a mobile phone to, or place it on, a door, the windshield, or above or near the areas marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, the instrument panel, and the seat backrests, or between these areas and the vehicle occupants. The mobile phone could cause serious injury in an accident, especially when the airbags inflate.
WARNING
Always switch off the mobile phone when refueling and in areas with a risk of explosion. The electromagnetic radiation can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.
x The mobile phone can automatically log itself into the mobile phone network again when the Bluetooth® connection to the telephone control is interrupted.
WARNING
If a mobile phone not connected to an external aerial is used in the vehicle, electromagnetic radiation in the interior could exceed limit values. This also applies if the outside antenna is not installed properly.
x Heart specialists advise that mobile phones can adversely affect the way pacemakers work. Always keep the mobile phone and its integrated antenna at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from a pacemaker.
x Never carry a mobile phone that is switched on in the breast pocket directly over a pace-maker.
x If you suspect there may be interference with a pacemaker or other medical device, switch the mobile phone off immediately.
NOTICE
x Your mobile phone and the telephone control must always be switched off in areas where special regulations apply and when the use of mobile phones is forbidden. Radiation from a switched-on mobile phone can interfere with sensitive technical and medical devices, poten-tially causing malfunctions or damage to the devices.
x High speeds, poor weather and road conditions as well as the network quality may impair telephone calls in the vehicle and lead to loss of connection.

WARNING
Rapid acceleration can cause skidding and loss of traction, especially on slippery roads, resulting in a loss of vehicle control, collisions, and serious personal injury.
x Only use the kick-down feature or fast acceleration if visibility, weather, road, and traffic conditions permit and other drivers will not be endangered by your driving and the vehicle's acceleration.
x Always adapt your driving to the traffic flow.
x Note that the drive wheels can spin and the vehicle can swerve when ASR is switched off, especially when the road is slippery.
x Once you have accelerated, switch ASR back on again.
NOTICE
x When stopping on hills with the transmission in a drive gear, do not use the accelerator to help prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards. This can cause the automatic transmission to overheat and be damaged.
x Never let the vehicle coast or roll down a hill in Neutral (N), especially when the engine is not running. The transmission will not be lubricated and will be damaged.
