Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn off the phone when in an area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all
signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion
or fire that could result in personal injury or
death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often clearly marked, but not always.
Among the potentially dangerous areas are:
Fueling areas (such as gas stations), areas
below deck on boats, facilities where chemical
products are transferred or stored, vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (as propane
or butane), areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust or
metal powders), and any other areas where
you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine.
For vehicles equipped with air bags
Air bags inflate with strong force. Do not
place objects in the area over the air bag or
in its deployment area, including wireless
equipment, either installed or portable.
Serious injuries could occur if wireless
equipment is improperly installed into the car
when the air bag inflates.
