Navigation

When using navigation features, note that mapping information,
directions and other navigational data may contain inaccurate or
incomplete data. In some countries, complete information may not
be available. Therefore, you should visually confirm that the
navigational instructions are consistent with what you see. All
drivers should pay attention to road conditions, closures, traffic,
and all other factors that may impact driving. Always obey posted
road signs.

Smart Practices While Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devic-

es and their accessories in the areas where you drive. Al-

ways obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited

or restricted in certain areas—for example, handsfree use

only may be required. Go to www.motorola.com/callsmart

(in English only) for more information.

Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice and
data—almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless service is
available and safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving is
your first responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile device
while driving, remember the following tips:

• Get to know your Motorola mobile device and its

features such as speed dial, redial and voice dial. If
available, these features help you to place your call
without taking your attention off the road.

• When available, use a handsfree device. If possible,

add an additional layer of convenience to your mobile
device with one of the many Motorola Original handsfree
accessories available today.

• Position your mobile device within easy reach. Be

able to access your mobile device without removing your
eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an
inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it
for you.

• Let the person you are speaking with know you are

driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy
traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
Rain, sleet,
snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.

• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while

driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or going through your
address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility—driving safely.

• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,

place calls when your car is not moving or before
pulling into traffic.
If you must make a call while
moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your
mirrors, then continue.

• Do not engage in stressful or emotional

conversations that may be distracting. Make people
you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend
conversations that can divert your attention away from the
road.
