Telephones and two-way radios
Radio transmitters, such as a portable
telephone or a citizens band unit should
only be used inside the vehicle if they are
connected to an antenna that is installed
on the outside of the vehicle.
Warning! G
Always fasten items being carried as secure-
ly as possible.
In an accident, during hard braking or sud-

place to carry objects. Always use tie down
rings, and if so equipped, always use the
cargo net* when transporting cargo. The
cargo net* cannot secure hard or heavy ob-
