CELL PHONES

Use of cell phones and other devices by driver:

WARNING: Although not Mazda products, use of any electrical
devices such as cell phones, computers, portable radios, vehicle
navigation or other devices by the driver while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous. Dialing a number on a cell phone while
driving also ties-up the driver’s hands. Use of these devices will
cause the driver to be distracted and could lead to a serious
accident. If a passenger is unable to use the device, pull off the
right-of-way to a safe area before use. If use of a cell phone is
necessary despite this warning, use a hands-free system to at
least allow the hands free to drive the vehicle. Never use a cell
phone or other electrical device while the vehicle is moving and,
instead, concentrate on the full-time job of driving.
