We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using

TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Given that studies show that using a mobile
device
while driving
a vehicle constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is
used (car kit, headset...), drivers are requested to refrain from
using their mobile when the vehicle is not parked.
When driving, do not use your device and headphone to listen
to music or the radio. Using a headphone can be dangerous and
forbidden in some areas.
When switched on, your device emits electromagnetic waves that can
interfere with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock
brakes or airbags. To ensure that there is no problem:
- do not place your device on top of the dashboard or within an
airbag deployment area,
- check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure
that the dashboard is adequately shielded from mobile
device
RF energy.
