Headphone
GWarning!
The driver should not wear a headphone while
operating the vehicle under any
circumstances. The use of a headphone while
driving the vehicle could drastically impair the
ability to react to audible traffic conditions
(e.g. emergency sirens from police/fire/
ambulance, another car’s horn, etc.).
GWarning!
When not in use, headphones or external
video sources should be stored in a safe
location (e.g. one of the vehicle’s storage
compartments) so that they are not loose
within the passenger compartment during
braking, vehicle maneuvers or a traffic
accident. Objects moving within the
passenger compartment could cause serious
personal injury to vehicle occupants.
GWarning!
Due to a potential choking hazard, wired
headphone usage by children should only
occur with adult supervision.
