• If you are driving next to a tall vechi-

cle(such as a truck or a bus) that
block the signal.

• If you are driving in a valley where

the surrounding hills or peaks block
the signal from the satellite.

• If you are driving on a mountain

road where is blocked by moun-
tains.

• If you are driving in an area with tall

trees that block the signal(10m or
more), for example on an road that
goes through a dense forset.

• The signal can become weak in

some areas that are not covered by

Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio

When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio equipment. This does
not mean that something is wrong
with the audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a
place as far as possible from the
audio equipment.

CAUTION

When using a communication
system such a cellular phone or
a radio set inside the vehicle, a
separate external antenna must
be fitted. When a cellular phone
or a radio set is used with an
internal antenna alone, it may
interfere with the vehicle's elec-
trical system and adversely
affect safe operation of the vehi-
cle.

WARNING

Don't use a cellular phone when
you are driving. You must stop
at a safe place to use a cellular
phone.
