WARNING
Using a mobile phone or CB radio inside the vehicle without a
properly installed and separate outside antenna can be danger-
ous to your health and that of your passengers because the
electromagnetic radiation energy that mobile phones and CB
radios emit may be above established limits. This also applies if
the outside antenna is not installed properly.
Always keep the mobile phone antenna at least 8 in. (20 cm)
away from pacemakers. Heart specialists advise that mobile
phones can adversely affect the way pacemakers work.
Never carry a mobile phone that is switched on in the breast
pocket directly over a pacemaker.
If you suspect there may be interference with a pacemaker or
other medical device, switch the mobile phone off immediately.

Government regulations in the United States and Canada require that
automobiles meet specific emission regulations and safety standards.
Therefore, vehicles built for the U.S. and Canada differ from vehicles
sold in other countries.
If you plan to take your vehicle outside the continental limits of the
United States or Canada, there is the possibility that:
Unleaded fuels for vehicles with catalytic converters may not be
available.
Fuel may have a considerably lower octane rating and may cause
engine damage.
Service may be inadequate due to lack of proper service facilities,
tools or testing equipment.
Replacement parts may not be readily available.
DVD navigation systems for vehicles built for the United States and
Canada will not necessarily work in Europe, and may not work in oth-
er countries outside of North America.
