In road traffic you must first and foremost concentrate on your own safety and that of the other road users. Give
your full attention to the road. Check the legal regulations on the use of wireless devices in road traffic in the
respective region. Always observe them. If you use a wireless device while driving, rely on your common sense
and adhere to the following:
1. Familiarise yourself with the wireless device and its functions, such as speed dial and redial. These functions
may prove to be useful if you wish to make a call without taking your eyes off the road.
2. Use a hands-free telephone, if possible.
3. Inform the person you are speaking with that you are driving. If necessary, end the call if there is heavy traffic
or bad weather. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be dangerous.
4. Dial numbers carefully and keep an eye on the traffic. Make your calls when you have stopped the car or
before you set off. Plan your calls so that you can make them when parked. If it is essential to make a call
User Guide17
when driving, dial only part of the number, check the road again and look in the rear mirror and then dial the
rest of the number.
5. Do not engage in stressful and emotional telephone calls which might take your attention away from the road.
Let the other person know that you are driving a car and do not get involved in any discussions that might
divert your attention from the road.
6. Use your mobile device to call for help if necessary. Dial emergency services (9-1-1 in the USA and 1-1-2 in
Europe) or other local emergency service numbers if there is a fire, an accident or a medical emergency.
These calls are free of charge on the wireless device! The call can be made independently of security codes
or networks and with or without a SIM card.
7. Use your mobile device to call for help for other people in emergency situations. If you witness a serious
accident, crime or other emergency, call the emergency service (9-1-1 in the USA and 1-1-2 in Europe) or
another local emergency service number. Remember you yourself might need help the next time.
8. Call the breakdown service or a special mobile radio number for support when problems occur on the road. If
you drive past a car with a breakdown which does not present any serious risk to traffic, a traffic light that is
not functioning, a traffic accident with minor damage and without injured people, or a possibly stolen car,
report it to the road patrol or another special mobile radio number for assistance.
