restez vigilant
Explanation:
et restez vigilant.

Je ne suis pas sûr, car la phrase est bizarre. Est-il formellement interdit d'utiliser le téléphone (auquel cas la phrase serait absurde, genre: n'utilisez pas le téléphone et faites attention en conduisant) ou alors est-il juste déconseillé d'utiliser le tél et dans ce cas: "restez vigilant" ?
