to refrain from using their phone when the vehicle is not
parked. Check the laws and regulations on the use of
wireless phones and their accessories in the areas where
you drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may
be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.

history of such occurrences, please consult your doctor
before playing video games on your phone or enabling a
flashing-lights feature on your phone;
• Parents should monitor their children’s use of video

PRIVACY:
