This poses a risk of injury to occupants.
- Always ensure that radio equipment is properly secured outside the deployment area of the airbags or stowed safely while the vehicle is moving.
- Mobile telephones or radio equipment which are operated inside the vehicle without a correctly installed external aerial can create excessive magnetic fields that could cause a health hazard.

- Do not operate radio equipment in the vehicle unless an external aerial is properly connected.
Note
Please observe the relevant regulations and follow the instructions in the operating manual for the radio equipment.
