Health and Safety
197
•
Suspend use in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice,
and heavy traffic can be hazardous.
•
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping
through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility of
driving safely.
•
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. Place calls when you are not moving or before
pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary.
•
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make
the person you are talking to aware that you are driving and suspend conversations
that could potentially divert your attention from the road.
Care for and use your mobile device properly
Keep your device dry
•
Humidity and liquids may damage the parts or electronic circuits in your device.
•
Do not turn on your device if it is wet. If your device is already on, turn it off and
remove the battery immediately (if the device will not turn off or you cannot remove
the battery, leave it as-is). Then, dry the device with a towel and take it to a service
centre.

dashboard of a car, for example).
