Smart Practices While Driving - Toyota Bluetooth SWC Manual Del Propietário

. Smart practices while driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and their accessories
in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may be
prohibited or restricted in certain areas.
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 phone and its features such as speed dial and redial. If available,
these features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the road.
• When possible, use your hands-free device. If possible, add an additional layer of
convenience to your mobile device with one of the many Toyota original hands-free 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 voice mail 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.
• Use your mobile device to call for help. Dial 112 or other local emergency number in
case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies*
• Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident,
crime in progress, or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 112 or other local
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.*
• Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when
necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal,
a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call
roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.*
