WARNING

Notifications on the mobile telephone display can distract the driver. This can lead to an accident and cause serious or fatal injuries.

● Make sure that no objects impede the closing function of the cover.

● If the shelf has a cover, always keep the cover closed while driving.

Metallic objects on the shelf can become very hot. This can cause burns or fires.
