at all times for your safety.
●In case of an emergency, make lives the top priority.

Making calls during driving may cause mish andling of the steering wheel, which may
lead to unexpected accidents.
Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety of the area before making the Emergency
Call.
●When changing fuses, please use fuses that correspond to the described standard.
If you use fuses other than those described, it may cause ignition or smoke in the cir-
cuit and may lead to a fire.
