1.4. Making calls while driving As making calls can reduce concentration levels (while driving a car or riding a bicycle), this can lead to accidents. The following instructions should be followed exactly. It is an offence to hold a telephone in your hand (or between your head and your shoulder) to make a call while driving. It is also illegal to write SMS, e-mail or use other programs while driving.
WARNING! Using headphones/ earphones to listen to this device at high volumes for an extended period can damage your hearing. Hands-free systems should only be installed by suitably qualified professionals. Incorrect installation or maintenance can have hazardous consequences and may also void your guarantees – also that of the car. Irradiation of the car’s on-board electronics can cause serious defects and result in danger to life and limb for you and others. Do not use voicemailbox while driving.
Please comply with all national regulations if you use you mobile while driving abroad. If you need to call often while driving, you should have a hands-free system installed in your car.
