GWarning
In order to avoid distraction which could lead
to an accident, the driver should activate the
system with the vehicle at a standstill and op-
erate the system only when road, weather
and traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
GWarning
The driver should not wear a headset while
operating the vehicle under any circumstanc-
es. The use of a headset while driving the
vehicle could drastically impair the ability to
react to audible traffic conditions (e.g. emer-
gency sirens from police/fire/ambulance,
another drivers horn, etc).
