When using a communication sys-
tem such as a cellular phone or a
radio set inside the vehicle, a sepa-
rate external antenna must be fit-
ted. When a cellular phone or a
radio set is used with an internal
antenna alone, it may interfere with
the vehicle's electrical system and
adversely affect safe operation of
the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not use a cellular phone while
driving. Stop at a safe location to
use a cellular phone or set up the
hands-free calling feature.
