Traffic Safety

Do not wear an earphone or head-
phones while operating a motor vehicle.
This can create a traffic hazard and
could be illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones or head-
phones let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume
levels, they still can present a traffic haz-
ard.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to
a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high vol-
ume levels. Extended, high-volume
listening can lead to permanent
hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a vol-
ume level that does not cause dis-
comfort might still damage your
hearing.
