English term or phrase: don't use your car hands free
Aus der Einbau- und Bedienungsanleitung für eine Bluetooth-Freisprechanlage.

"Safety Notes:

Only use your car hands free when the traffic situation permits. For safety reasons and to comply with legal requirements, we recommend you do not pick up the mobile phone handset while you are driving."

Gibt es eine schnittigere Lösung als "nehmen Sie Ihre Hände nicht vom Lenkrad"? ("Freihändig fahren" wäre sicher reizvoll, aber den Scherz darf ich mir wohl nicht erlauben..)

Ganz vielen Dank im Voraus!

agree  Ulrike Kraemer: At first glance, I thought it meant "nehmen Sie Ihre Hände nicht vom Lenkrad", but this makes more sense. It might be a good idea to confirm with the client.

  -> sure, that's always a possibility, but hardly necessary here - isn't the long-shot alternative a bit wacky?
agree  BrigitteHilgner: Hände ans Steuer - Freisprechanlage

agree  Bernhard Sulzer: to suggest taking off your hands while driving would be crazy. But then again - who are these people ?? PS: maybe the part " car-kit" was left out by accident ? ( pun intended)

neutral  Irene Schlotter, Dipl.-Übers.: Hier handelt es sich nicht um eine Freisprech*anlage*, die i. d. R. fest im Fahrzeug montiert ist, sondern um die Freisprech*einrichtung*, mit der das Handy in jedem beliebigen Fahrzeug verwendet werden kann (sprich: Mikro+Kopfhörer/Raumlautsprecher).
